GOOD MORNING HYDRATION!

This light and hydrating juice blend is ideal post run or - without Maltodextrin - it is great first thing to replenish the body after sleep. 

Persimmon is low in calories (provides 70 calories per 100g) and low in fat but it is a rich source of dietary fibre. Persimmon contains health benefitting phyto-nutrients, flavonoids and poly-phenolic anti-oxidants like catechins and gallocatechins, as well as important the anti-tumor compound betulinic acid. Catechins are also known to have anti-infective and anti-inflammatory properties.

Fresh persimmon contains anti-oxidant compounds like vitamin-A, beta-carotene, lycopene, lutein, zea-xanthin and cryptoxanthin. Together, these compounds function as protective scavengers against oxygen-derived free radicals and reactive oxygen species (ROS) that play a role in aging and various disease processes.

In simple terms, persimmon is a fruit with great healing, replenishing and protective properties making this fruit perfect to start off the day or as a post-workout drink!  The lime juice is packed full of calcium, potassium and magnesium, which are good for cardiovascular and bone health.
