Post-Watersports Refuel: Smoothies to Rehydrate After Kayaking or Jet Skiing

Yes, we are in the dead of winter and that means people are not swimming in the ocean or walking around in their bathing suits on the beach. But since the winter solstice has already passed, we will be counting down the days until spring.

In the spirit of looking forward to spring and summer, we have put together this blog. We hope it inspires you and brings you joy.

The ocean is a way of life for us coastal dwellers. Nothing beats the thrill of slicing through the calm waters of the Currituck Sound on a jet ski or peacefully paddling a kayak past the wild horses and serene marshes in Corolla.

Diving, kayaking, swimming and surfing all use lots of energy. What better way to refuel than to ingest some healthy fresh fruit and hardy sandwiches? That’s what we’re here for after all. Here’s why smoothies are the ultimate post-watersports recovery drink and our top recommendations to try next time you’re in town.

Smoothies are made with fruits. Fruits are mostly made of water. They also contain essential vitamins and minerals. By this logic it makes perfect sense that a smoothie is the perfect thirst quenching and recovery implement after a long day of water sporting.

Natural carbs from a smoothie will give you that energy boost that you desire. Berries and other fruits are natural anti-inflammatory in nature. They antioxidants to ease muscle soreness. Ingredients like bananas (potassium), pineapple (magnesium), and a pinch of sea salt (sodium) mimic nature’s sports drink. A smoothie is a superior alterative to energy and sports drinks.

For those looking for a bite to eat, try our delicious sandwiches and acai bowls. They will fill you up and give you the caloric energy needed to go through your day. Options include breakfast sandwiches like bacon/ham/sausage egg and cheese. Lunch options range from a tasty chicken wrap to a chipotle chicken club.
