Activated Charcoal Lemonade Detox Drink

BeOrganicallYou/ Detox+ Drinks+ Healthy Body+ Recipes

Activated charcoal is great for detoxing. I found this awesome recipe on the Thrive Market blog. Pretty tasty considering how charcoal taste by itself. Ha! This drink is healthy, detoxing, and good. What more could you want in a drink?  Give it a try and let me know what you think. I will be making this drink again and more often.

Activated Charcoal Lemonade with Collagen Recipe

*This article was originally published on the Thrive Market blog.

 

Our take on the activated charcoal lemonade craze looks much cooler than the sludge-colored detox drinks everyone seems to be sipping lately. We froze our activated charcoal into ice cubes, creating a stark contrast when served in bright lemonade. When the ice starts to melt, it creates a cool-looking swirling effect as the charcoal mixes with the drink. To give it an extra boost, we mixed in Great Lakes Gelatin’s Collagen Hydrolysate powder. Collagen helps keep joints flexible and skin supple but because it decreases with age, it’s important to replenish with collagen-rich foods or supplements. This powder from Great Lakes has been hydrolyzed so it won’t congeal and features a unique combination of amino acids that may be beneficial for bone and joint health.

They help balance your hormones among many other health benefits.

As you get older do all you can to keep your hormones as balanced as possible.There are so many things that can cause your hormones to go haywire.

I drink a cup of tea each evening using a teaspoon of each and add some honey which also has healing properties.

What are some of your nightly rituals that you do to help keep your health in check?
