Sweet Cherry and Pomegranate Tonic
- Yield: 1 1x
Ingredients
- 8 oz package Frozen Sweet Cherries
- 1 cup 100% Pomegranate Juice
- 1/2 cup Pure Coconut Water (not to be confused with coconut milk)
- 1/2 teaspoon fresh ginger, grated (I recommend using a microplane)
- * 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract, optional
- * 1/2 tablespoon Monkfruit sugar (for added sweetness, if needed), optional
Instructions
- Add all ingredients into a blender and blend until smooth.
- Divide the tonic into four equal portions.
- Consume tonic portions at intervals throughout the day. This method of consuming the tonic helps avoids the usual sugar spike that accompanies a large quantity of juice. It also ensures that your body gets the full nutrient content.
Notes
