It is important in the summer to focus on nutrition and hydration as the body often takes a bit more abuse from sun and full days of fun.  Vega’s Energizing Smoothie provides a great base of vitamins and minerals to help your body replenish and regenerate, and the added boost of watermelon is a great addition.  Watermelon’s high water content provides for extra hydration while also contributing to a sense of fullness and satisfaction.

Watermelon also contains a range of vitamins and minerals, and powerful antioxidants such as Vitamin C and beta carotene.  Antioxidants are important for neutralizing the range of free radicals that we are exposed to that can lead to inflammation, and illnesses.  This smoothie is easy on the system, nourishing, and thirst quenching.  The mint adds a complementary taste that will leave your breath refreshed too!
