Water is great, but I will admit that even I get bored. Adding an extra kick with some fruit infused water is a great way to stay hydrated and healthy. Plus it’s super easy and super delicious.(1) Grab your favorite reusable water container and add water, ice, and any combination of fruit, veggies, and/or herbs. Leave the fruit, veggies, and/or herbs in the bottle all day and refill the bottle with water and ice as needed. *Some of my favorite combos: Basil leaves and lemon / Berries with lemon / Ginger and lemon / Raspberry and Lime / Watermelon and Mint leaves...be creative!
(2) For a large batch of infused water, fill a pitcher with water, mix in some chopped up fruits, veggies, and/or herbs and let it sit in the fridge for 2 – 8 hours (depending on how strong you want the flavor to be.)
(3) Blend the fruit/herb of choice until smooth, put into BPA-free ice cube trays, freeze, and enjoy.

Hot Chocolate is always a favorite, no matter what the season. You too can have your hot chocolate around that campfire on a late summer night. All you have to do is warm up some coconut milk, add in some unsweetened cocoa powder, and enjoy. If you prefer it a tad sweeter, you can always add a touch of honey or stevia. On a hot summer day, you can skip warming it up, add some ice, and blend for a healthy chocolate shake. Adding a banana and and egg to this smoothie is awesome for post workout.
Another healthy drink option is to take a scoop of the Espresso Dynamic Greens drink we sell at Eupraxia and mix with a bottle of water or glass of coconut milk. We have four great flavors of Dynamic Greens if you don’t like the flavor of coffee. They are all delicious and can be added to smoothies and more.*I am really enjoying adding the Espresso Greens to my coffee as a treat. AMAZING! The Strawberry Kiwi is also great in coconut milk.

As a kid, who didn’t love having AND selling lemonade on the street? Lemonade is a great summer drink, and you can now make your own version of the popular drink. It’s so good that you will not want to sell it to others! Here are a couple of recipes for Lemonade or Strawberry Lemonade.
It’s summer! Who doesn’t like to enjoy a cocktail or two…or three? Now you can…in moderation, of course! Just make smarter, grain-free choices. Good options are distilled liquors with soda water and wedges of citrus, wines and hard ciders. For more ideas, check out the links below:

Who doesn’t love smoothies!? The best part about smoothies is that they are super easy to make and they can be made for several people. With so many options available to you, it is easy to find good combinations to make enjoyable for everyone. You can pump up the nutritional value in a smoothie by adding spinach or kale.
