Beat the heat with this delicious and hydrating smoothie, perfect for a summer breakfast or a midday snack!

Why It’s Hydrating:

  • Cucumber: Did you know that cucumbers are composed of almost 95% water?! It’s one of the most water-rich vegetables! They also contain electrolytes such as potassium and magnesium which help regulate fluid balance in the body. 
  • Mango: Mangos are also rich in water (83% water content!) and also contain vitamin C, antioxidants, dietary fiber, and natural sugars that are great for a quick energy boost on those hot summer days!
  • Mint: Mint contains menthol which can have a cooling effect on the body, providing a refreshing burst of flavour.

Not to mention – this recipe is Metabolic Balance friendly! It’s a great breakfast option (enjoy with hard boiled eggs or another protein!). 

Try it out this weekend!
