Staying healthy is on everyone's mind these days. And now that summer is here, keeping hydrated is also a must. Fortunately, two of today's trendiest superfoods - beets and watermelon - make it easy to check all the boxes.

These nutritious "it" foods are available in the form of refreshing, all-natural craft drinks. BEETOLOGY offers five tantalizing blends powered by beet juice, which is known to support the body's detoxification process, fight inflammation, help lower blood pressure, and boost stamina, among many other health benefits. WONDER MELON delivers the all-hydrating properties of everybody's favorite summertime treat, watermelon, along with its natural bounty of antioxidants, minerals, and vitamins.

Devotees of these fashionable cold-pressed beverages swear by their delicious hydrating goodness. They love discovering new ways to enjoy beet juice and watermelon juice as mixers in cocktails, mocktails, even smoothies. (Some popular recipes follow.)

Fans also extol the virtues of serving these drinks solo, either over ice or straight from the grab-and-go bottle. WONDER MELON offers two delightful varieties: Cool Watermelon Cucumber Basil and Watermelon Lemon Cayenne. BEETOLOGY's crazy combo lineup includes Beet + Lemon + Ginger, Beet + Veggie, Beet + Berry, Beet + Cherry, and Beet + Tropical fruit.

BEETOLOGY and WONDER MELON are as "clean" as you can get. Made from 100% organic fruit and veggie juices, they are non-GMO, Fair Trade, certified OU Kosher, and free of sugar, artificial ingredients, soy, dairy, and gluten.
