We are all searching for some kind of healthy in our lives this time of year. Too many commitments, too much overindulgence and abundance rule our lives. And yet we still have plenty of events lined up before the year is over, so we need to keep the party going.
Nutrient rich, healthy cocktails are a great idea for when you want imbibe, but without the sugar and complicated ingredient list. These healthy cocktails are naturally-sweetened, mineral and vitamin-infused and are my favorite way to ring in the New Year. They are loaded with hydration, phytonutrients and even healing properties (thank you turmeric!). And they’re also totally delicious so grab a friend and enjoy.
