When we hear the word summer, we’re quick to associate it with some of our favorite things: diving into pools, the smell of a freshly-made mimosa, and the sound of crickets on warm evenings. On that same note, we can’t help but also associate the word ‘summer’ with things like mosquito bites and practically hopping into freezers while grocery shopping to escape the heat. Here are some of our favorite and tasty methods of hydration that keep us happy and healthy.
___
Fruity Ice Cubes
Yes, that’s right: fruity ice cubes. According to Balance Me Beautiful, essential oils found in herbs offer a variety of health benefits. The recipe we found suggested adding them to regular water, but we think they pair even better with Cascade Ice Sparkling Water.
Pink Cubes: Juiced watermelon, muddled raspberries, a touch of mint and Cascade Ice Blueberry Watermelon
Clear Cubes: Small basil sprouts, 1 lemon juiced and Cascade Ice Strawberry Lemonade
Purple Cubes: Softened blueberries (we soaked them in water for 3 hours) pomegranate seeds, kiwi, and Cascade Ice Coconut
___
Coconut Water
Studies have shown that compared to regular water and sports beverages, coconut water is just as comparable in terms of hydration, but with significantly fewer side-effects while running around in the heat of the day. We like to mix in our flavored waters for taste! Our favorites to add include:
· Cascade Ice Strawberry Banana
· Cascade Ice Pink Grapefruit
· Cascade Ice Coconut Pineapple
___
Super-Food Smoothies
Fruits like watermelon, strawberries, peaches, and cantaloupe & vegetables like cucumber, celery, and zucchini contain extremely high amounts of water – which is where most of the nutrients are stored. To reap the benefits of these water-rich foods, keep them raw and blend them into smoothies with Cascade Ice Lemonade for a refreshing beverage to beat the heat!

Here at Cascade Ice we’re very proud to have the stamp of ‘USDA Certified’ on our Cascade Ice Organic flavors. But other than a fancy stamp, what does it mean for you?
To put it quite simply, USDA Certified reflects organic standards and is a labeling term that indicates that our beverages have been produced through approved methods. The organic standards describe the specific requirements that must be verified by a USDA-accredited certifying agent before products can be labeled USDA organic.
Our organic operations demonstrate that we are protecting natural resources, conserving biodiversity, and using only approved substances in our Cascade Ice Organic flavors. There’s no additives, synthetics, GMOs or dyes. Cascade Ice Organic flavors were made for you to enjoy to the fullest and live an organic lifestyle!
