Lime Water Recipe: Making a New Type of Coffee

Lime water can be considered an alarm clock for the body. It helps to set the tone for the day.

Think of lime water as a natural energy drink. It offers many great benefits to the body and to your day.

The Power of Lime Water

So why limes and not lemons?

Lemon and lime water both hold some of the same benefits. It’s really based on preference. Limes, however, have a sweeter taste, while lemons tend to be more sour.

Limes are a great source of nutrients and have many health benefits. They are a great way to alkalize the body, aid in digestive problems and constipation, purify the blood, and eliminate toxins from the body.

There are other ways to add lime into your morning routine, including finding different ways to mix the lime with other powerful ingredients. A shot of juiced ginger and ½ squeezed lime is a great way to alkalize the body.

Lime water, turmeric, and cayenne is a great anti-inflammatory drink.

You can even take your morning routine of lime water with you throughout the day.

Simply prepare a bottle of cucumber lime water for the day. This promotes weight loss and rejuvenates the skin for a natural glow. It also keeps you hydrated throughout the day, removes mucus from the body, and keeps you energized all day.

Other Daily Water Variations:

  • Blueberry Lime
  • Strawberry Basil
  • Orange Kiwi
  • Raspberry Mint

In addition to adding lime water to your morning routine, what you eat for breakfast will help play a role in your overall health.

Fruit for breakfast helps to strengthen the immune system, aid in weight loss, boost energy, and improve the digestive system. Fruit provides the body with fiber and lots of vitamins and nutrients.

If you are not a fan of having fruit for breakfast and are looking for more filling options, oatmeal and chia pudding are perfect.

Chia seeds are a great source of omega-3 fatty acids, rich in antioxidants, contain fiber, iron, and calcium. Oatmeal is also rich in antioxidants. It also helps lower cholesterol levels and improves blood sugar. Both keep you full longer and aid in weight loss.

Chia Pudding Recipe

Ingredients:

-3 tablespoons of chia seeds
-1 cup of almond milk
-A tablespoon of cinnamon 
-1 tablespoon of coconut sugar
-1 teaspoon of almond flavor
-Agave nectar
-Coconut flakes
-Fruit of choice

Directions:

In a mason jar, combine chia seeds, cinnamon, coconut sugar, almond flavor, and milk. Cover and shake, mixing the chia seeds well. Refrigerate for 2 hours or overnight. Top with coconut flakes, fruit, and a drizzle of agave.
