Notes

Recipe Notes
  • Too salty? Use a smaller pinch next time.
  • Too sweet? Dilute with water or use less juice.
  • Powders not dissolving? Shake in a mason jar or stir longer.
  • Citrus feels strong on an empty stomach? Try it after a small snack.
  • For creamsicle, low-sugar, and low-FODMAP options, see the variations in the post.
