    If you have been following me for a while you probably noticed that I gave up alcohol a little over 9 months ago. Since I shared it publicly I have received so many questions. I only intended to go without alcohol for 2 weeks. I was about the leave for a work conference in Cancun and thought this was the perfect time to give it up. The conference was all about personal development so I went with the intention of focusing on self care. I exercised every day, did my daily self reflection/journal, and ate the freshest food possible. When I came home I was on cloud 9. I felt so good. Prior to the trip I would drink once or twice a week, but my “hangovers” seemed to last for days. I had low energy and was always anxious. But, after this trip my low energy and anxiety subsided. It seemed silly to go back to alcohol. So I never went back.

    Here is what I learned over the past 9 months:

    -I am so much happier! Like so much happier. Alcohol is such a downer even if we don’t intend to drink it for that reason.

    -Alcohol may have taken my edge off in the moment, but it caused so much more anxiety in the long run.

    -My hormones are so much more well balanced.

    -My PMS went away!!!

    -I lost 10 pounds.

    Anyways, since I gave up alcohol I have become a fan of mocktails. I found that part of the “fun” of drinking are the pretty glasses and fun garnishes. Drinking a mocktail has become part of my self care routine. I add a bunch of yummy stuff to help soothe my gut and nourish my body!

    Ingredients

    • 2 cups watermelon juice this is about 4 cups of small watermelon pieces that have gone through the food processor, see below
    • 1/2 lime juiced
    • 1 teaspoon fresh grated ginger I use this tool to grate
    • 4 mint leaves

    Instructions

    • Place the watermelon in a food processor and blend for 10 seconds. You do not want to blend too long, because you still want the chunks to be there!
    • Add the other ingredients and blend for another 10 seconds.
    • Pour into a glass.
    • OPTIONAL: I used an orange peel to garnish. If you want to twist it to make it pretty, use an apple peeler and peel part of the orange. Then, wrap it around a pen. 
    The perfect refreshing summer treat. This recipe is paleo and whole 30 compliant.
    Serving: 2g
