Cucumber

Cucumbers share a huge similarity with watermelons: water content. They both clock in at over 95% water but that’s where the similarities end. That other 5% holds a lot of protein, vitamins, antioxidants, and fiber! Hydrate and help your heart with one tasty salad topper. Cucumbers are popular among fitness freaks due to their believed weight-loss benefits. Cucumbers are indeed incredibly sparse when it comes to calorie content. Just make sure that you keep the peels on, as they are filled with goodness.

Macha

For the rare adult who can’t stand coffee, Macha has the equivalent caffeine content to a half cup of coffee! Since the leaves are ground instead of soaked in water, that means you get more of the antioxidants, vitamins, chromium, and more that are stored in the leaves. It’s a purer form of green tea and provides way more of a boost! A strong tea to keep your heart strong and the perfect ending to our list!
