I’ve been getting so HOT & SWEATY on my runs…so I created the most refreshing SPORTS POP recipe EVER! It’s the perfect treat before AND after summer fitness! #TreatYoSelf
WATERMELON ELECTROLYTE POPS
Ingredients…
1. WATERMELON contains CITRULLINE which may boost athletic performance & reduce muscle soreness.
2. SEA SALT contains ELECTROLYTES such as sodium, potassium, calcium & magnesium to help with hydration.
Directions…
1. CUT. Chop the flesh of an average-size watermelon into cubes. Be sure to include some of the white rind since that’s where citrulline is found in higher concentrations.
Note: An average size (15-pound) watermelon will give you ~11 cups of cubes.
2. BLEND. Add the cubes to a blender w/ 1 teaspoon of sea salt & blend until smooth. You’ll end up with ~6 cups of juice.
3. FREEZE. Pour juice into 16 ice pop pouches, zip close & freeze. I use THESE ice pop pouches.
Each SPORTS POP is only 25 calories.
To hydrate & recover faster, have 1 pop before + 1 pop after a sweat session! SO COOL (literally).

Made these last week and they are the BOMB.
Aaron says
The salt that you added lowers the freezing point. How long did it take for them to freeze?

It took about 4 hours to freeze. They are so refreshing!
