Juicing Recipes For Hydration: The Ultimate Recipe to Hydrate Fast

Juicing recipes for hydration are a delicious way to replenish your body with electrolytes and other vitamins and nutrients your body needs. 

Here’s how you can make homemade fresh juices at home that are packed with electrolytes. These refreshing drinks will boost your hydration and can even support your overall health.

Why Water May Not Be Your Best Option for Hydration

Water is certainly important, but it’s not necessarily the best option for hydration. Plain water lacks the essential electrolytes your body needs to retain water. When we wake up after a good night’s sleep or after an intense workout, our bodies become depleted of water and minerals like sodium, potassium, and magnesium.

So, we need to add these minerals back into our bodies by consuming drinks that are electrolyte-rich. And we’re here to show you how to easily get a boost of electrolytes from natural, whole foods that are packed with vitamins and minerals our bodies need.

My Favorite Juicing Recipes for Hydration

Here are my favorite delicious and nutritious juice recipes you can drink every day and easily make at home. They’re packed with electrolytes, vitamins, and antioxidants to keep you refreshed and energized.

1. The Green Wave

This recipe is the perfect juice for hot summer days, after working out, or to rehydrate.

• 1 Cucumber
  
  
• 2 Key Limes
  
  
• 2 Green Apples
  
  
• Handful of Mint Leaves
  
  
• 1 Cup of Coconut Water

How to make it: 

Wash everything properly. Put a handful of mint leaves in your juicer. Cut your cucumber and green apples into small pieces and throw them into your juicer. Make sure you remove the core of the green apples to get rid of the seeds.

Then peel a lime and put it in your juicer or squeeze out the lime juice by hand. Juice everything. Pour your juice about halfway into a glass over ice and mix in coconut water. Enjoy!

Why It’s Good: 

• Cucumber has lots of water and is packed with vitamin K and contains potassium and magnesium. 
• Key limes have around 15% of the daily recommended intake of vitamin C and are rich in antioxidants like flavonoids and limonoids.
• Mint adds a refreshing coolness to your drink while adding more vitamins A and C, and more antioxidants, flavonoids, and menthol.
• Green apples add a natural sweetness to this recipe while also adding in more minerals such as magnesium, potassium, and calcium. 
• Coconut water is packed with huge amounts of electrolytes such as potassium, magnesium, sodium, and calcium.
