Cucumbers have a distinctly mild, yet slightly bitter taste (thanks to its skin) some may love it, while others may hate it. Despite this, we can't forget the fact that they have a 95 per cent water content. They're also incredibly low-calorie and are the perfect addition to soups, salads, and sandwiches.

If you're looking for something to complement that distinct cucumber taste, we recommend this pineapple, banana, and cucumber shake. It mixes other summery fruits, plus a handful of baby greens, to create an easy to drink (and very healthy!) shake recipe that's as refreshing as it sounds.

For some time now, coconut water has been touted as a better alternative to sports drinks. Though athletes who sweat and exercise profusely are likely to need more than just coconut water to rehydrate, this nutrient-rich and low-sodium drink is great for people who aren't as active, but who still need to keep up with heat or level of activity. A single cup is rich in electrolytes such as potassium and manganese; but also low in carbohydrates. This makes it ideal for rehydration.

If you're looking to incorporate it into your diet (in a fun way!) try this coconut, raspberry, and chia seed pudding. It's healthy, refreshing, and still oh-so-creamy.

Celery is famously known as a "negative-calorie" food (meaning it takes more calories to eat celery than celery has to offer in the first place). While this isn't scientifically accurate, we can't deny that celery is incredibly water-dense, making it a refreshing vegetable to incorporate into a holistic diet.

Aside from munching on it raw with a side of peanut butter, consider this hearty celery soup that incorporates fresh herbs, water, and potatoes to make for a filling yet nutritious appetiser that won't leave you bloated.

A delicious berry dessert sounds just about right. Strawberries boast a 91 per cent water content, making them a sweet yet guilt-free treat this summer. Not only that but they're also rich with antioxidants that have been shown to prevent certain cancers.

Use these fruits to your advantage by using them to create sorbet! This three-ingredient recipe incorporates strawberries, raw honey, water—and you don't need an ice cream maker for it either.
