Morning Lemon Water Drink

At least 3 times a week someone messages me what's in my morning drink. It's been about 2 years since I started drinking lemon water in the morning and I love it! The reason lemons in water is so popular is because they contain antioxidants that stimulate liver enzymes to flush toxins from the body. That sounds pretty awesome, but more so that any nutritional benefits, drinking my lemon water mentally prepares me for a healthy day ahead. It puts my mind in the right place to make the right choices- like go workout, eat right and do my Headspace meditation!

My drink incorporates some other flavors as well to maximize the nutritional punch first thing in the morning! Of course you can definitely tailor it to your tastes!
