Below are the recipes and directions of my five signature colour-free, sugar-free and bpa plastic free alkaline vitamin waters. Enjoy these combinations or get inspired to make your own!!
It simple, cheap and easy way to get your vitamins in a delicious and hydrating way.
*Note, these combinations still have major healing benefits even if you do not have the powdered forms of vitamins as the fruit, vegetable and herb ingredients alone have incredible healing power
**You may opt to add in a sweetener of your choice, I do not add sweeteners to mine; however, if you wish to, I recommend Manuka 25+ honey OR 3-5 muddled dates OR 1 Tbsp Sweet Life Sweetener
