Stridekick Shop: Top Staff Picks for Summer ☀️

Discover new wellness brands to help make your summer cooler than ever.

Summer! The season of sunshine, long walks, beach day getaways, and sweating way more than I’m comfortable admitting. So if you're planning to hit the trails, lounge by the pool, or power through a new fitness routine, the Stridekick Shop has everything you need to stay cool, refreshed, and feeling your best.

With all this in mind, we asked around the office, and our team spilled their favorite must-have items for soaking in the summer sun this year. From hydration helpers to wellness wonders, here are our top staff picks from the Stridekick Shop:

🥤 Liquid I.V. - Lemon Lovers Bundle

Why we love it: Hydration is everything in the summer, and Liquid I.V. is like a secret weapon for thirsty days. With just one stick, you get 2-3x the hydration of water alone, and the Lemon Lovers Bundle is peak refreshment. We toss these in our bags for hikes, pool days, or after a sweaty workout, and they hit every time.

Why we love it: Sweet, creamy, and somehow still good for you. With gut-healthy prebiotics, only 5g of sugar, and a flavor that feels like dessert in a can, it’s our go-to afternoon pick-me-up. Bonus points for feeling fancy while sipping it on the patio.
