Step-by-Step: Incorporating Your Bottle into Meal Prep

For busy mornings, consider preparing a smoothie or overnight oats in a separate container, and use your bottle for water or a light electrolyte drink. Pair this with our Apple & Almond Breakfast Bakes for a complete breakfast on the move.

- Use a funnel to easily transfer smoothies or other liquids into your bottle without spills.
Hydration on the Go: Tips for Work, Gym, and Travel
Your Deliciously Ella bottle is built for life on the move. Whether you're commuting, hitting the gym, or traveling, keeping it within reach helps you maintain consistent hydration. Set reminders on your phone to take a sip every hour, and refill whenever you pass a water station.
For longer trips, freeze water in your bottle overnight to keep drinks cold for hours. This is especially useful during summer or intense workouts. Pair your hydration with a satisfying snack like the Raisin Chocolate Topped Oat Bar for a balanced energy boost.

5 Steps to Master Meal Prep and Hydration with Your Deliciously Ella Bottle
- Step 1: Plan Your Daily Hydration Goals: Determine how much water you need based on your activity level and climate. Use your bottle's capacity to track your intake, aiming to refill it 2-3 times a day. Checkpoint: You should finish your first bottle by midday.
- Step 2: Prep Infused Waters or Smoothies in Advance: The night before, fill your bottle with water and add fruits, herbs, or a splash of juice. For smoothies, blend and store in the fridge, then transfer to your bottle in the morning. Common mistake: Adding perishable ingredients too early can cause spoilage. Prep only what you'll consume that day.
- Step 3: Pair Your Bottle with On-the-Go Nutrition: Keep a stash of Deliciously Ella snacks like Apple & Almond Breakfast Bakes or Almond Nut Butter Bites in your bag. When you drink, you're reminded to nourish your body with wholefood ingredients. Verdict: This combination supports sustained energy and satiety.
- Step 4: Maintain Your Bottle for Longevity: After each use, rinse with warm water and mild soap. For deep cleaning, use a bottle brush and occasionally a mixture of baking soda and water to remove odors. Checkpoint: Your bottle should be odor-free and spotless before refilling.
- Step 5: Make Hydration a Habit: Set reminders on your phone or use a hydration tracking app. Keep your bottle visible on your desk or in your car to prompt regular sips. Next step: Aim to refill your bottle at least three times daily for optimal hydration.
