13 Hydrating Recipes to Support Your Body

Hydration doesn’t start and end with what you drink. Eating whole foods with high water content also ups your intake of fiber and electrolytes, which helps your body hold onto that hydration more steadily.

These 13 recipes turn that science into more than just “eat your fruits and veggies,” with delicious ideas for sneaking in extra produce at every meal (and snack!). 

‍

1. Steak Plate

No need to overthink it— fresh, seasonal veggies and a good piece of steak is an easy weeknight dinner you’ll always look forward to. If you’re after the perfect sear, be sure to pat your steak dry with paper towels and season with salt and pepper the night before!

‍

2. Kiwi Berry Shake

Blackberries and kiwi make this shake taste like a treat, while soy milk (or your milk of choice), protein powder, and hemp seeds deliver serious protein and fiber.

3. Blended Gazpacho

Packed with veggies, this chilled, fresh-flavored soup is deceptively filling thanks to bread and collagen peptides blended in, and crumbled feta on top.
