Recipe: 100% Natural Hydration Drink for Kids
Ingredients (Makes 1 quart)
- 3 cups of coconut water
- 1 cup 100% apple juice
- 1 cup ice
- 1/8 teaspoon sea salt
- 1 tablespoon raw honey
- Squeeze of lime and orange (optional)
Preparation:
- Put all ingredients in a high powered blender, and blend for 1 minutes.
- Pour into containers and enjoy immediately or store in the fridge for later.
- Will stay good in the fridge for 1 week.
Notes:
- Ice is only necessary if you plan to drink it immediately.
- If you plan to refrigerate it first, or your blender cannot cope with ice, you can add a cup of water instead of the ice, or simply add it afterwards.
- There is some disagreement as to the wisdom of drinking ice-cold drinks when you are overheated. Go with caution if in doubt.
