MARY’S MOCHA COLA
The concept of energy drinks may be a great one but the execution of most leaves a lot to be desired - quite a few have some pretty awful ingredients! How do you get the added pep in your step without compromising on nutrition? Mary’s Mocha Cola will put the vim back in your vigor and give a surprisingly healthy boost to your day. This guilt-free recipe is easy, satisfying, and refreshing!
FIRE CIDER
This tried-and-true natural remedy is loaded with powerful immune boosting, anti-bacterial, anti-viral, and anti-inflammatory ingredients that are commonly found in grocery stores and farmer’s markets. While it can be made year ‘round, if you start the preparation in late summer, you’ll have a batch ready just in time for cooler temperatures and cold/flu season. This feisty and highly effective brew has a number of applications and, because a little goes a long way, you’ll have plenty to share making it a unique culinary gift!
HOT SHOTS
Want a blast of healthy heat? Just one Hot Shot will do the trick. This zesty little wonder’s anti-inflammatory ingredients pack a double punch as it warms and relaxes the body. Besides being a unique pain relieving libation, it might also encourage digestive juices, be helpful for mild congestion, tackle that irritating winter-time “tickle”, or quell a bit of a cough. How adventurous are your tastebuds?
EXCESSIVE RELIEF
“Plop, plop, fizz, fizz, oh what a relief it is!” Raise your hand if you remember that jingle. Touted as the answer to headaches, body pains, stomach upset, and a little too much party, that long established product has been in medicine cabinets for over 90 years. It’s a great antidote but sometimes there isn’t any on hand and sadly, certain versions have additives that may be disagreeable for those with dietary considerations. Happily, the ingredients for my EXCESSIVE RELIEF remedies can be found in your pantry and first aid arsenal and are adjustable to suit your needs. Whipping up a glass takes no time and doesn’t require a trip to the local drug store when you’re feeling punk.
