Title: Healthy drinks...
Post by: Solars Toy on March 08, 2020, 02:58:48 PM
More and more people are dumping the soda for healthier options. 

Solar drinks kombucha and kefir  :blink: which I can't seem to stomach.  But for the last several months I have been following a group that "hydrates" with some interesting concoctions.  Most which I have found easy to suck down.   

My two favorites currently are GGMS (Good Girl Moonshine) and a Singing Canary. (I love the names because it really throws people when I tell them GGMS.)

The GGMS is a combination of apple cider vinegar with the mother, ginger, and stevia mixed with water and served over ice.

The Singing Canary combines turmeric with a few other ingredients sweetened with stevia and served over ice. 

I was wondering what others may drink for their health.

One of my brother-in-laws believes bourbon is the answer....   :rolleyes:

I tried this off brand of chips called "The Good Crisp Company". It is supposed to be better for you (gluten free/GMO free and all that nonsense). I can eat them, but the cost 2-3 times more that the Lay's Stacks.

Why is "better" stuff so expensive?

I wish I could answer that for you.  My best guess is because of the quality of the ingredients, the cost of having a separate processing plant (in terms of gluten free), and a little of because some of us will pay for it.  :rolleyes: 

My current favorite chocolate bar is sweetened with stevia and cost $4 a bar....  I could get Hersheys for 1/4 to 1/3 the price...

I go through phases for my water.  Fortunately the "drinks" I am making are basically water with some healthy stuff added.  One of each of these will get me my 8 glasses of water. ( I drink them out of a quart jar.

I drink DiHydrogen Oxide.
I also mix it with Crystal Light Lemonade mix.  Sometimes I use it for Tea.
My healthy drink of Choice is Powerade Zero.

Sounds interesting (DiHydrogen Oxide).  I have never been able to drink any of the Gatorade, Powerade, or those kind of drinks.

Hmm...
Does not Gatorade have a lot of sugar and salt?
