I’m not sure about where you live, but here in Iowa among the corn and soybeans it’s hot, hot, hot in the summertime. Our bodies acclimate quickly to the heat and humidity, but most of us still don’t stay well-enough hydrated. Even though water is the best way to rehydrate, sometimes you just to make hydration tasty. Add some healthy nutrients and hopefully you will drink more fluids, even if they take just a little bit of preparation.
This frozen slush is a good source of potassium and folate, and a very good source of Vitamin A and Vitamin C, manganese and fiber. Garnish with a mint sprig and enjoy!
