Nikki's Top 4 Healthy Drinks You Must Try!

Stay healthy and don’t suffer from #FOMO when it comes to health crazes – get boosted, hydrated, and energized with these quick on the go drinks!

COCONUT WATER:
*** ABOUT: Coconut water is rich in potassium, contains various enzymes, and boosts metabolism. Remember: A little bit goes a long way. Try and buy the brands that limit
additional sugars. My favorite personal brands are Vita Coco & Naked. Super yummy!
*** WHY: I always recommend coconut water starting 1/2 a week out from any race. It will help hydrate the body and help you load up on extra electrolytes.


CHOCOLATE MILK:
*** ABOUT: Contains double the carbohydrates and perfect to drink for refueling proteins during muscle recovery. (YES, double the carbs! But, it’s okay, I promise.)
*** WHY: After you do your workout routine or yoga class, chocolate milk is perfect for you! And trust me, when I read an article several years ago in the Runners World magazine, I was SO EXCITED. Personally, I love chocolate milk and now I have all the more reasons to drink it. And so do you! So, go #CarbCrazy and grab chocolate milk for your post workout recovery drink.

KOMBUCHA

Say what?! Yes, KOMBUCHA. It’s not as hippie or far-fetched as you think. You can find it at Kroger or at Country Cupboard if you live in or around Russellville!
*** ABOUT: Kombucha is high in glucaric acid, which is beneficial to the liver and aids in natural detoxification. It supports healthy gut bacteria and digestion, too!
*** WHY: Probiotics are all the rage now in supplements. Kombucha is just a liquid form of these trendy probiotics that also helps boost your immune system and aids in weight loss. Pretty great, right? I personally drink about 8 ounces daily – hope you can keep up!

ACV + NATURAL LOCAL HONEY
ACV = Apple Cider Vinegar 
*** ABOUT: ACV helps eliminate joint pain, boosts energy, helps aid in digestion, alkalizes the body, and decreases inflammation. (I guess I finally found my miracle drug.) By using local honey from where you live, you can help combat seasonal and geographical allergens specific to your area. Make sure to purchase a brand that contains "with the mother,” such as Bragg organic raw, unfiltered ACV.

*** WHY: My GO TO during the winter months! A teaspoon of apple cider vinegar
with a dab of honey mixed in 8-10 ounces of warm water makes the best winter drink when you’re feeling blue, cold, or just under the weather.
