Healthy Replacement for your Favorite Sport Drink

Have you heard of switchel? I am totally hooked.

It is super hydrating and refreshing drink from the 1700's that is making a resurgence because it is filled with healing ingredients like inflammation-reducing ginger, apple cider vinegar, and lemon. 

I love it especially after a hot yoga class, or really any time I need something cold and refreshing drink. I also mix it with sparking water for evening non-alcoholic beverage.

Try it! Think you will be hooked too!
