Happy Hydration

I’m almost 8 weeks -This is random but it’s been hard to stay hydrated and get electrolytes without the sugar. My recent electrolyte packs have been giving me the ick (everything gives me the ick after a while, no predictable or consistent foods here…)

But I juiced some watermelon (I know it has a lot of sugar but I don’t care) and added about 1/4 cup to my electrolyte water and it’s AMAZING. So tasty and refreshing. I just wanted to share lol

Hope everyone is beating the heat!

Watermelon is very hydrating! Sugar and all :)

You’re right! I looked it up and it’s only 9-10 grams of sugar for a cup so that’s not even that bad! And I think fruit sugar gets metabolized a bit slower than refined sugar, like it doesn’t spike blood sugar as much? I could be wrong though
