When it comes to summer in Texas I have two goals: stay cool and stay hydrated. Bonus points if I can do both with an insanely delicious treat. With hydration, the mistake I see most people make is to focus on water but forget about the minerals. And even though water is really important, its actually the minerals that helps water get inside our cells. This means that to stay hydrated on a cellular level, you gotta get your minerals too! If you want to master your hydration this summer, you can read more about minerals here. If you don’t want to get lost in the nitty gritty, rest assured, this Blackberry Lemonade Slush checks all of my boxes:

✔️ Flavorful

✔️ Full of minerals

✔️ Bonus: 10 grams of protein

WHAT YOU’LL NEED:

• 1 Cup of coconut water, frozen*
• 1/2 C of frozen blackberries
• 1/2 C of freshly squeeze lemon juice
• 1 scoop vanilla protein powder

*I used this circular ice tray because it’s what I had, but any ice tray will do!

This drink is so quick to throw together. Just throw all of your ingredients into a blender and let it do the hard work. If you have a lower powered blender, or want to change up the consistency, just add in some extra coconut water!

Finally, if this blackberry lemonade slush doesn’t sound like your jam, you can check out my other favorite mineral mocktails here. Because my main goal is keeping you hydrated all summer!
