How We're Staying Hydrated this Summer

by

Happy first day of summer! Can you believe it? Not much changes for us as far as routine as we’re year round homeschoolers, but we love to take our learning outdoors! What better way to learn about nature than exploring it firsthand right? It surely got hot quickly, though. It was over 90 degrees today – here in Ohio! Phew! I thought we left temps that high behind when we moved up here from Texas!
Heat alone doesn’t stop us, but dehydration can! It’s easy to get dehydrated when you’re learning, working and playing out in the heat! All of us! Whether we’re exploring on a walk, working in the garden, fishing, or running around on the playground I know how important it is that we all stay hydrated.
How We're Staying Hydrated this Summer
Disclosure: I received complimentary products to facilitate my post and review. Regardless, all opinions are my own and those of my family.
I don’t know about you, but I’m not the best at drinking enough water. In fact, I’d even say the kids do a better job! What if we could benefit from something more or even crave a little flavor, though? Oxylent offers the perfect solution for summer hydration and more! They offer various multi-vitamin drinks that really pack a nutritious punch in addition to staying hydrated! With no nasty chemicals, it’s the perfect addition to any water bottle!
Oxylent makes staying hydrated enjoyable and fun for the whole family. It has an effervescent delivery system that offers greater and faster absorption than pills, and who doesn’t love a fizzy drink? There is something for everyone! Oxylent is available in Adult, Sport, Prenatal and Children’s. There are convenient sachets for on-the-go and canisters to keep handy at home. It goes beyond hydration with the added benefit of an all-around multivitamin, mineral, antioxidant, amino acid and electrolyte formula. They contain no sugar, caffeine or anything artificial. Sounds perfect for those long days outside, right?
We had the opportunity to add a variety of Oxylent products to our routine to help us stay hydrated this summer including:

  • Oxylent Canister – A premium daily multivitamin that is a natural energy drink.
  • Sport Oxylent – A 3-in-1 comprehensive support formula that is ideal for the natural athlete.
  • Children’s Oxylent – A premium daily children’s multi-vitamin that can help to boost kids’ immunity and support children’s learning. Plus it contains a better form or iron.
  • Oxylent Multivitamin – the same great formula as the Oxylent Canister but in convenient sachets.

Our Routine for Staying Hydrated

I’ve had the opportunity to review Children’s Oxylent in the past, and when I thought of how much the kids enjoy adding it to their water, and the extra boost they would get in addition to the hydration it just made sense to me! I love that there are great options for my husband and I as well. Here is how we’re staying hydrated this summer:
Drinking more than the minimal recommended amount of fluids. When we’re outside, regardless of our activities, we’re likely to sweat more. This can take an extra toll on your body, so it’s important to be sure you’re getting more than enough fluids.
Replenishing electrolyte loss. Because sweating causes electrolyte loss, it’s important to replace those electrolytes if you’ve been sweating quite a bit. Oxylent replenishes electrolytes without all the questionable ingredients in many of the alternatives.
Pacing ourselves. This is true in both our activities as well as our fluid intake. It’s especially easy for kids to run and play hard while hardly drinking the whole time and then drink way too much at once. The result? They get sick, and then their bodies take a harder hit! We stress the importance of drinking fluids throughout the day regularly – even stopping multiple times while playing. We make sure to do this as well!
Drinking before we’re thirsty. You know the old saying “If you’re already thirsty, you’ve waited too long.” Well, it’s true. If you’re out in the sun and are at that point, you are going to experience a big energy zap. It’s another great reason to drink continuously throughout the day!
Giving our bodies the nutrients they need. Having fun outside in the heat requires proper hydration as well as proper nutrients. We need to keep our bodies fueled, so we can make the most of our time outdoors! Oxylent can give us that boost of nutrition we need as well so we can function at our best!
Oxylent Sport
Maybe you’re like me, and you’re not a big “water drinker.” Finding something with a flavor you enjoy that has all these amazing benefits as well is a great solution! I simply take a sachet with me when we’re headed out the door to add to my water bottle or add some from the canister at home. Our kids actually ask for their Oxylent everyday, so I don’t even have to nag them to get them to drink their fluids and get their vitamins! Oxylent has definitely been a great addition to our routine for staying hydrated!

Protein and Electrolytes On-the-Go {E-hydrate Review}

by

Now that warmer weather seems to be sticking around we’re on the go more than ever. In the warm months of Spring and Summer we go on more outdoor homeschool field-trips, go fishing and boating, and just spend more time outdoors! Staying hydrated and energized is so important, so when I was introduced to an easy, convenient way to get protein and electrolytes on the go, I was definitely excited to try it!
E-Hydrate Review
The problem with many protein drinks as well as electrolyte drinks is all the unhealthy stuff they contain like artificial sweeteners, flavors and colors, but they are both key for re-energizing, hydrating and recovering. Honestly, though, there are times I will need this kind of support when I wasn’t initially planning on it. Sometimes playing with the kids is a big workout!
We’re not the only ones that need this type of support. Kids do, too, and with so many “sports drinks” tailored to be appealing to kids, it’s important to find protein and electrolyte support without all those ingredients that aren’t good for them!
E-hydrate Review for Kids
Disclosure: I received this product for free from the sponsor of the Moms Meet program (greenmomsmeet.com), May Media Group LLC, who received it directly from the manufacturer. As a Moms Meet blogger, I agree to use this product for my E-hydrate review and post my opinion on my blog. My opinions do not necessarily reflect the opinions of May Media Group LLC or the manufacturer of this product.
E-hydrate Protein On-the-Go is made with natural ingredients and flavors. Plus, they include the essential electrolytes needed for hydration support. They are sweetened naturally with Stevia, so there are no worries about any artificial sweeteners! They have 25 grams of natural protein. Plus they have only 150 calories and just four grams of sugar per pouch and are available in Vanilla and Chocolate.
Of course, I also love that they have the Kids Protein On-the-Go as well which are similar but have 10 grams of protein, 70 calories and just four grams of sugar per pouch as well! Available flavors for kids include Cinnamon Roll and Milk Chocolate – flavors kids love!
Not only do I love the natural ingredients and the support they offer, but they are just so convenient! They come in a Ready to Mix pouch, so I can simply tuck it into my purse when I’m heading out the door. It folds up so well! Then, I just have to add water and mix it up! It’s the perfect way to energize and hydrate on those days when I’m on-the-go (and the days I’m not)! I enjoy the taste, too!
E-hydrate Review On-the-Go
Hydration is so important in general, but I admit I’m not always the best at drinking enough water daily. I’ve tried different tricks like using a water bottle, fruit infused water, etc., which has helped, but I love a big kick of flavor in my water. Unfortunately, most water flavors have all of those scary artificial ingredients – sweeteners, flavors and colors. I’m trying to be healthier, and that is NOT healthy!
Needless to say, I was excited to try the E-hydrate Hydration and Energy drink mix as well! They are available in a variety of flavors for both adults and kids. They can be added to any liquid, but we all need to get more of our daily intake of water, so that’s been our liquid of choice. They are full of vitamins and minerals as well as electrolytes. The Kids hydration mix has 15 calories and no caffeine, and the Adult hydration mix has four calories and 40mg of caffeine.
E-hydrate Review Drink Mix
These Drink Mixes don’t have just a subtle flavor. They really have a pop of flavor and are almost fizzy-like. Of course, I like some flavors more than others just on personal preference. The Red Berry is delicious! After drinking it I feel refreshed and even more alert.

E-hydrate Review

Overall, I am so pleased with the E-hydrate products. They offer products that both adults and kids need without all the bad stuff we don’t need. There are a variety of flavors, so it caters to those who like to mix it up, and the variety means it’s likely there will be a flavor you enjoy. The Protein On-the-Go is convenient and easy to use, and you don’t even have to have anything extra like a water bottle. Simply find a water fountain, and your pouch is the container! The Drink Mixes are convenient as well because they can be added to any liquid. They’re a convenient way to add a pop of flavor to your water bottle as well as a little caffeine to energize as well.
Of course, I love that all E-hydrate products are Kosher and don’t contain any artificial sweeteners, colors or preservatives.
I love that I got a t-shirt, too, so I can share E-hydrate with others!
