drink alternatives

Merry Christmas and Happy Holidays! We want you all to be careful, safe and healthy this holiday season. Below you will find some non-alcoholic drink alternatives if you feel like something a little different!

Option 1 RASPBERRY “BEETINI”

Fresh beet juice and tart raspberries give this energizing smoothie not only a beautiful violet-red colour, but also high levels of anti-carcinogens and carotenoid content, making this the perfect addition to any party menu.

Ingredients:

1 cup beet juice

½ cup water

1 cup frozen raspberries

½ apple, with peel

1 tsp flax oil (optional)

Wedge of fresh lemon

Directions:

1. Place first four ingredients in a high speed blender and puree until smooth.

2. Remove from blender and stir in a squirt of lemon and flax oil, as a nutritious blood sugar-balancing addition.

Option 2 Water? Yes Water!

Infused Waters, you can put these in mason jars and let them infuse overnight or you can place them in a large pitcher. You have to play around with how much flavour you want and these suggestions are for large pitchers of water, so around 4 cups of water.

2 lemons slices
