The sun is coming out and the lock downs from the pandemic are slowly letting up! Recharge and hydrate with a refreshing Green Citrus Cooler.
What are the Ingredients for this refreshing Green Citrus Cooler
Oranges– a well known vitamin C boost fruit. Use Cara cara or a navel oranges for this recipe.
More citrus- lemon and lime bring out a refreshing citrus flavor. Also, they are great detox ingredients.
Chia seeds– provide omega-3, fiber, and protein. These seeds expand when in water, so don’t put in too much.
Honey– for the sweetness. I like to use raw honey with no sugar added.
Coconut water– a delicious source of hydration. It reminds me of the turquoise beaches in the Bahamas- the one i can only dream about right now.
Mangos– we eat these regularly. Another dreamy, beachy ingredient that is in season right now. It boosts immunity, may help to clear skin, and aids in weight loss.
Cilantro– a great herb to add in for weight loss, detox, and fighting infections.
