The Watermelon Refresher: Hydration & Recovery in a Glass
When it comes to training and recovery, hydration is everything. Athletes and active individuals often lose key electrolytes and water through sweat, which can leave the body fatigued and sluggish. Instead of reaching for sugar-packed sports drinks, you can fuel and hydrate naturally with the Watermelon Refresher — a crisp, cooling juice designed to replenish, restore, and revive.
This refreshing blend, featured on Day 3 of the Nama 5-Day Sports Fueling Challenge, combines watermelon, lime, cucumber, and mint for the ultimate hydration powerhouse.
