This week, let's talk about hydration! As spring melts into summer, the heat is real. We know some of you are already struggling to stay hydrated as the temperature rises. In addition to the obvious choices (water, electrolytes, etc.), there are also more creative ways to hydrate. So, we wanted to show you a delicious and fun way to hydrate with these Nuun blueberry mint hydration popsicles!
For those of you who aren’t familiar with Nunn Hydration- they’re electrolyte tablets that are completely gluten, dairy and soy free. These portable tablets are packed with active ingredients like sodium, potassium and magnesium to keep you hydrated and alleviate muscle cramps. It’s like a portable sports drink…and now a popsicle.
