What are you doing to stay hydrated in this beautiful weather?
I love cucumber and watermelon for their juicy thirst quenching water content. They are also, perhaps surprisingly, packed full of antioxidants, vitamins and minerals adding a nutrient kick to your snack, salad or drink.
Watermelon: Vitamin A (skin/eye health), C (aids iron absorption), B6 (helps your body break down protein), potassium (lowers blood pressure and supports nerve function), lycopene (may lower cholesterol).
Cucumber: Vitamin C and beta-carotene (immune supportive), B vitamins (reduce anxiety), silica (hair and nails), fisetin (brain health).
We like ours in drinks, frozen, in salads, ice lollies and with peanut butter. Try marmite peanut butter on cucumber it’s amazing! 🍉
