Watermelon Infused Water for Working Out

Feb 11th

Did you know that watermelon is 92% water? It is one of the highest water-content fruits and contains rehydration salts such as calcium, magnesium, and potassium that can actually hydrate you more effectively than water or sports drinks.

Watermelon also infuses quickly, making it perfect for throwing into your water bottle on your way out the door.

Recipe for an 32-oz Infusion Water Bottle: 1″ wide spear of fresh watermelon (or enough to fill your infusion chamber)

One small watermelon should be enough to make a week’s worth of infused waters. Cut slices as you need them instead of all at once.

Watermelon Water - The Best Infused Water for Working Out
Fill your water bottle with cold water, then lower the fruit infuser into the bottle. Pouring water directly onto the watermelon can cause it to break into pieces.

Gently lower infusion chambers so that fruit does not break into a billion little pieces
Watermelon is one of the few fruits you can enjoy after it has been infused. After drinking, you can snack on the infused watermelon to quench your thirst and replenish yourself with a few calories.
