DRINK YOUR SUNBLOCK!

I was haphazardly perusing “the internet” when this tagline OBVIOUSLY caught my attention.  Drink your sunblock!? Is that a thing now!?

As I read on, I learned that it you don’t actually need to slurp down Coppertone (nor should you), but in fact can up your consumption of Goji Berries – an antioxidant powerhouse – “that helps to slow down the oxidative process and prevent free radical damage.”

The drink is super tasty and the perfect pool side refresher! Read on for the recipe:

Goji Berry Lemonade

recipe via My New Roots

  • 2 tablespoons goji berries
  • 1.5 cups water
  • 1 tsp ginger root, grated
  • 1 lemon, juiced
  • raw honey (optional)
  1. Soak goji berries in 1.5 cups of water for 1 hour (I soaked them in the blender instead of a bowl to save dishes!).
  2. Blend goji berries/water with remaining ingredients on a high speed until completely mixed.
  3. Serve into an ice filled glass.

* If you need a little extra pep added to your liquid sunblock I recommend an ounce of high quality rum to spice things up (hey it wouldn’t be Fun Drink Friday without it right? Don’t judge!)
