Ginger-Melon Hydrating Recovery Juice


A short post with another running-related recipe. This is a quick juice that you can make in a blender using cantaloupe (or another melon) and ginger. Melons have a higher glycemic index than other fruits and high water content, and ginger has anti-inflammatory properties, so they make a good post-running combination. Plus, the ginger is really refreshing. Use more or less ginger based on your preferences and enjoy! I think this could also be good mixed with some sparkling water for carbonation.
