Notes

  1. You can add 1 tsp of Calcium or Magnesium – Calcium helps build strong bones, and also helps muscles relax and move. A deficiency in calcium can result in a painful tightening of the muscles. Magnesium also helps the muscles to relax post-workout, which counteracts the role that calcium plays in contracting the muscles. A lack of magnesium can result in the feeling of sore muscles.

  2. Add 1 - 2 oz of Vodka or Gin to turn your drink into a nutrient packed cocktail! May require additional sweetener.
