5 Delicious and Hydrating Foods for Summer

Most of us know that staying hydrated is essential.

Since kids don't always stop to drink water when they're busy playing, offering foods that naturally support hydration, like fruit, is an easy win.

Here are our top 5 favorite hydrating fruits to keep on hand this summer:

#1 Watermelon

This one is no surprise.

Watermelon is about 92% water, making it one of the most hydrating foods you can eat. It's juicy, refreshing, and perfect for hot summer days.

It's also naturally sweet and easy to serve, whether sliced for a snack or packed for a picnic, it's a go-to for families looking to stay hydrated.

#2 Strawberries

Strawberries are a favorite for a reason. 

They're bright, juicy, and about 91% water making them a great choice for helping kids stay hydrated. They’re easy to enjoy on their own, added to meals, or blended into something fun.

We love using strawberries in our organic SuperFruit Freezies, because they bring that same fresh, fruity flavor kids already enjoy.

#3 Cantaloupe

Often overlooked, but definitely worth adding to your summer routine.

Cantaloupe is about 90% water, it's naturally sweet, and it's easy to slice up for snacks or add to a fruit bowl for a simple hydration boost.

#4 Peaches

Juicy, sweet, and just under 90% water, peaches are another great way to help the whole family stay hydrated.

Enjoy them fresh, blended into smoothies, or cut up over your favorite yogurt parfait, peaches bring a delicious way to stay refreshed. 

#5 Oranges 

Oranges are packed with flavor and hydration.

At about 88% water, they’re a juicy way to help kids stay refreshed throughout the day. They’re also easy to take on the go, making them perfect as a halftime snack and summer outings.

Real Fruit Does a Body Good

With so many naturally hydrating fruits to choose from, it can be as simple as filling your kitchen with fresh, juicy options your family already loves. Packed with fibre and electrolytes, fruit is an easy, delicious way to help support hydration all day long.
