Many Pro athletes swear to drinking Coconut Water. They claim it contains more electrolytes than Sports Drinks? Plus, they claim they can feel the difference! Make any of these drinks by substituting and get the added benefit by using Coconut Water!

Homemade Refreshing Sports Drink #1

Ingredients:

• 1/2 cup HOT water
• 1/4 cup sugar
• 1/4 teaspoon salt (kosher or sea salt) 
• 3/4 cup Ruby Red grapefruit juice or Orange juice or Limeade (any fruit juice will work)
• 1 Tablespoon Lemon Juice or Lime Juice
• 1 cup Ice
• 3 to 4 cups Cold Water (I prefer Purified Water or Coconut Water. Spa's use 2 teaspoons Coconut milk and 24 ounces water to substitute for Coconut water and claim it results in the same benefits. )
• Mason Jars or Bottles with Lids. (four- 8 ounce or two - 16 ounce)

1. Boil 1/2 Cup water.

3. Stir until it completely dissolves. 
4. Add Lemon juice and either Ruby Red Grapefruit or Orange juice; stir thoroughly.
5. Add Ice into remaining ingredients and stir thoroughly. 
6. Add 3 to cold water and stir. If it seems too strong or you'd prefer to try it a little more watered down, add 3-1/2 cups cold water. Stir.
7. Pour liquid into Jars or bottles and screw on cap tightly. 
8. Place in refrigerator and chill until ready to drink. 
9. Enjoy!

It's that time of year when the heat index is soaring and the humidity feels like a wet blanket. Keeping hydrated can be hard enough but what if you know someone young or old that won't drink or doesn't like to drink plain old tap water? I've got a refreshing solution to share all of you, plus these are considered non-alcoholic "Skinny" drinks.


This is such a refreshing treat and you'd be surprised how easy and delicious making your own blends of Vitamin Water or Sports Water can be. Plus, it gives you control back of the nutritional value and sugar content in your drinks.

Pesky Bugs...

I'm on my way out to see if my garden is doing any better. I'm a bit hesitant to go look. For some reason my plants aren't growing like they have in the years past. A few weeks ago, I was irritated to find plants that looked like lace leaves. This was due to some little creepy crawling or flying pest eating holes in my Napa Cabbages, White headed cabbages, and various other lettuces.
