I was a vegetarian for 10 years, then in 2001 after I had my gall bladder out my surgeon advised me to add 2 to 3 servings of lean chicken per week to get me enough protein so I could heal. I couldn't handle more than 12 grams of fat per day for at least 9 months post op.
Any who, for the last six months, I have been down to one soda per day max.
Last week, I cut out all soda. I've been on a fruit infused water kick . . . watermelon & lime, mixed berries, granny smith apple (not very strong, but it is there!) and clementine.
I was chopping up fruit last night and decided to try putting the mango pit in a Mason jar and cover with cool water. I can never get all of the pulp off of the stone. After I put it in the jar, I scraped the dickens out of it with the back of a fork.
I let it sit overnight, remove the stone. Top off with more water and refrigerate . . .
Or, if you are anxious to get one going, like I was for my watermelon one this morning.
Fill a water bottle with Ice and pour the mixture over it. Cap and enjoy! Refrigerate any remaining amount.
