Watermelon Cucumber Cooler

Let’s be real, it’s hot outside — like Heath Ledger in a '90s teen romance hot.

As outside temps continues to rise, Mother Nature is encouraging us to become cooler and lighter. You may have already noticed your body signaling this desire with increased thirst, lighter food cravings and the need for an afternoon nap. 

From an Ayurvedic perspective, Summer is ruled by our bodies' temperature regulating systems - including the hypothalamus, skin, sweat glands, blood vessels, as well as our digestive fire (metabolism).

So, it is to these physical places within ourselves we look to protect, support, and create balance this season. 

This gut quenching, Watermelon Cucumber Cooler is the perfect Summer drink to balance internal heat + keep you thriving through the sweltering Southern sun.
