Staying Hydrated is an Uphill Challenge
Staying hydrated is an uphill challenge we all face the moment we wake up in the morning. For starters, I recommend getting a refillable water bottle to keep waste out of the landfill. Plus, you can decorate your vessel with any number of stickers to fly your colors. In addition to sipping water all day and replacing electrolytes as needed, eating lots of veggies with every meal helps keep you hydrated from meal to meal. Here are a few of my go-to hydrating recipes as well as some nutrient-dense snacks to take with you as you head out for your next adventure.

Fork and Knife Salads
These substantial salads are great as a side dish, but also stand up as a whole meal on their own with the addition of legumes and grains. Equally, they can be served warm as a healthy comfort dish or chilled the next day, giving you two distinct flavor profiles with one effort!
