The FoodBlog Guide: Eat your water 💦
It’s 2020 - and we all know how important it is to stay hydrated, baby! However, it is also getting colder and let’s face it - it’s been a bit of a bleak year. So getting our recommended litres isn’t always an easy feat. Well fear not - here’s the FoodBlog Guide to eating your water 😎
Hydrating foods
Unsurprisingly the foods containing the most water are fruits and veggies - yes, yet another reason to get your five-a-day in. Cucumbers, watermelon, tomatoes, carrots, celery, kiwi, aubergine… these foods are all between 80-98% water! That’s a real hit of hydration to boost your day. 🍉 🥒
Not just veggies
Another great source of water which can be included in your diet to keep you hydrated is yoghurt. Yes, your creamy morning breakfast delight (or afternoon snack!) is actually a whopping 88% water. Topped with some hydrating berries or a nice slice of watermelon and you're looking at a super hydrating snack. Needless to say, yoghurt is also full of protein and calcium - a great post-workout replenisher. 💧
Soup anyone?
Perhaps unsurprisingly, soups and broths are an excellent way to top up your hydration levels. Most soups are chock-full of veggies too which just adds to the benefits of enjoying a bowl of your favourite brodu. A winter-warming and nutritious meal that will keep you feeling satiated and cosy whilst maintaining a good level of hydration essential for mental and physical performance. Make sure to ask nanna for her recipe next time you pop round. 👵🏼 😉
