Here is a beverage that anyone will love. Not only is it perfect for a warm summer day, it’s also insanely good for you. It’s become a family favourite and the kids LOVE it (they even came up with the name for it). No guilty feelings enjoying this one!! Drink up!!

Ingredients:

• Fresh mint leaves
• Freshly squeezed lime juice
• Pure unsweetened organic cranberry juice
• Sparkling water
• Ice
• ** Optional – liquid stevia sweetener (to taste)

Squeeze fresh lime juice in a single glass. Add 1-3 drops of liquid stevia sweetener (optional) and fresh mint leaves. Use muddle (or wooden spoon) to crush the mint and lime. Fill glass with ice.  Pour 1/3 of the glass full with unsweetned organic cranberry juice. Top up with sparkling water. Mix to combine. Enjoy!

If you’re like me, you enjoy anything that’s warm in the cold winter months. This drink is incredibly creamy and a great treat to mix things up. Not to mention the crazy health benefits of all the spices… mmmmmm.

Ingredients:

• 2 cups non-dairy milk of your choice (I use homemade sprouted almond milk)
• 1 tbsp coconut oil
• 1 heaping tsp ground turmeric
• 1 tsp of honey (or sweetener of choice)
• 1/4 tsp freshly grated ginger
• 2 cinnamon sticks
• pinch of black pepper

Directions:

Heat all ingredients (except honey) in a sauce pan over medium-low heat until comes to just under a boil (string often). Allow to simmer on low for 20-30 minutes. Remove from heat. Remove cinnamon sticks and whip with milk frother, immersion blender, or have as is. If you’ve got chunks of ginger and other spices, you may want to strain before serving. Top with a small sprinkle of cinnamon and add honey to taste. Enjoy!

Variation:

Place all ingredients in high speed blender (instead of cinnamon sticks, just use about 1/2 tsp ground cinnamon). The coconut oil will make it smooth and frothy!
