‘If the ambiance is right, you’ll get high on a mocktail’ The term ‘Agua Fresca’ may be directly translated into fresh water, but that phrase does not fully convey the delicious nature of this drink.

This dish takes 5 minutes to make and is a great midday snack or breakfast. It is sweet and salty. The spices aid in the digestion of the snack with some additional heated turmeric to help with inflammation. I took this recipe from Divya Alter’s book, how to eat for what you feel. I added

Fennel Salad with Mint (V, GF)
