🍉 Natural Watermelon Energy Boost

Ingredients:

• 2 cups fresh watermelon (seedless, cubed)

• 1/2 cup coconut water (electrolyte-rich)

• 1 tablespoon lime juice (for a zesty kick and vitamin C)

• 1 teaspoon honey or maple syrup (optional, for natural sweetness)

• A few mint leaves (refreshing and cooling)

• Pinch of sea salt (replenishes electrolytes)

• 1/2 teaspoon chia seeds (optional, for sustained energy and fiber)

Instructions:

1. Blend: In a blender, combine watermelon, coconut water, lime juice, and honey/maple syrup (if using). Blend until smooth.

2. Add Extras: Stir in sea salt, mint leaves, and chia seeds.

3. Chill or Serve: Let it sit for 5–10 minutes if you added chia seeds (they’ll swell). Serve over ice or chilled.

Tips:

• For an extra boost, add a small piece of fresh ginger or a few slices of cucumber.

• Want it cold fast? Freeze your watermelon cubes first before blending.

💡 Why it works:

• Watermelon: Hydrating and rich in natural sugars + L-citrulline (may reduce muscle fatigue).

• Coconut water: Natural electrolytes.

• Lime: Boosts vitamin C and flavor.

• Chia seeds: Slow-release energy and fiber.
