Dr. Phil’s Water Recipe:
Use 16-20 ounces of pure spring water, then add ⅛ tsp of Himalayan salt, which is rich in minerals. You can then add fresh cut up fruits, and sweeten with Stevia or raw honey. Shake it up really well and you have a healthy sports drink. You can also make with SweetLeaf Water Drops instead of fresh fruit and stevia/honey.
