In the summer, staying hydrated isn’t just about drinking more water—it’s about finding nutritious and delicious ways that make you actually want to reach for your glass.
With many store-bought refreshers and electrolytes loaded with sneaky sugars and long lists of artificial ingredients, it’s time to rethink your routine and opt for real ingredients that won’t stray you from your summer health goals.
Enter Ocean Spray’s new line of Pure Juices–made with just one ingredient and no added sugar, these 100% juices are here to pack a punch of flavour to summer hydration.
Coming in three flavours including Pure Cranberry, Pure Tart Cherry, and Pure White Grapefruit, these juices are delicious on their own, but their bold taste makes them perfect for elevating your water, smoothies and getting creative with other cool treats.
From poolside refreshers to post-run recovery, here are three simple hacks to help you stay happy and hydrated this summer:
1. Tart Cherry Water Drops & Pops
We all know plain water can get a little boring, so drop in some Pure Tart Cherry ice cubes for the ultimate colour and flavour bomb! Just freeze the juice in trays, then toss the cubes into your water for a slow-release hit of flavour and all the benefits of tart cherries. For the kids–add the juice to a popsicle tray, and you’ve got an easy alternative to sugar-packed freezies and popsicles.
2. Cranberry Juice Boosts for Smoothies
Skip the overpriced smoothie add-ons and go for a quick DIY boost instead. Just add a shot of Pure Cranberry Juice to your morning smoothie–it brings a tart and tangy flavour, and delivers all the benefits of the fruit in just one shot!
3. White Grapefruit Sorbet
For those who believe each night of summer should end with a frozen treat, this one is a game changer: Pure White Grapefruit Sorbet. Light, tangy, and unexpectedly addictive, even for grapefruit skeptics. Simply blend a cup of the juice with ice and top with mint or rosemary–it’s the perfect not-so-guilty pleasure and palate cleanser.
