One thing I have found myself hooked on is sassy water. I’ll give you a moment to stop laughing
because yes, I just said I drink something called sassy water. Now, sassy water is a drink that women
everywhere are drinking because of the claims that it will all make us look
like this. 99% of me doesn’t buy into
the sassy water claims, but the 1% of me that does is hoping that it works. And if it doesn’t work, oh well….at least I
am staying hydrated. And actually, it’s
really tasty, unlike other all-natural weight loss beverages.
Sassy Water
- 8 1/2 cups water
- 1 tsp grated ginger
- 1 medium cucumber, sliced thin
- 1 large lemon, sliced thin
- 12 mint leaves
My minis love sassy water too. I don’t let my tiny mini drink too much of
the sassy water because her sassy tank seems to be overflowing already.
My minis love popsicles.
I have been making smoothies for myself each morning. I usually make a double batch and pour my
smoothie into popsicle molds for the minis to enjoy later in the day.
