5 Healthy Mocktail Recipes
I can not wait for you to try 5 of my favorite healthy mocktail recipes I love to make at home!
It’s been a year since I have had alcohol, the longest period of time I’ve gone without it. I remember when I decided I would give it up for 30 days and thought how will I be social without it? I have traveled, gone out with friends, date nights, tailgating, holidays you name it and guess what I still had a great time but even better is waking up the next morning continuing to feel my best mentally, emotionally, physically and spiritually.
Did you know that alcohol was classified as a group 1 carcinogen by the International Agency for Research on cancer? And this is not a recent finding, this was decades ago. I had no clue but the more I research the more I find reasons to stay away from it.
There are countless studies of why removing alcohol for short periods of time or for good is VERY beneficial to your health, in more aspects than I ever realized.
Studies have shown removing it can improve your vision, kidney health, your liver (especially the ability to detoxify your body), your heart health, your brain health, anxiety, depression and the list goes on. Even removing it for 30 days has shown such significant improvement in all the above areas.
Our society has made drinking in unhealthy amounts so common but I am noticing a movement of more and more people reducing it or removing it completely because they’re discovering the same thing I have- we just feel a lot better without it in our life.
Time to give you the 5 recipes! I included the links to the recipes so you can see how I make each of them.
