Coconut Water Lemonade
Coconut Water Lemonade is the easiest full bodied, refreshing health drink of the ages. (page down for recipe)
I stumbled on this great drink one day as I was making a snack. The plan was to have a small portion of a bean burrito, a few blue nacho chips and coconut water minutes later to hydrate myself.
I ate the burrito and decided to pour the coconut water into a glass. I remembered that I had planned to have lemon water sometime that day so I squeezed the lemon and added it to the glass. I thought of rounding out the flavor with a little agava nectar which is a natural sweetener. I had a sip and could not believe how wonderful and satisfying it was. I could actually feel my body being rehydrated and energized.
I changed my mind about the nacho chips and was delighted to have such a wonderful healthy drink while saving calories.
