True Lemon

In an effort to be healthy, I’ve cut out soft drinks and alcohol from my diet and I’m only drinking water and sodium-free seltzer water if it’s a special occasion. I didn’t drink a lot of soft drinks or alcohol to begin with (well, since I graduated from college), but I’m trying to drink more water because I used to be a diet coke fiend and that’s definitely not good for your body OR your teeth. I’m trying to mix things up since water can get a little boring (and I can only drink one packet of the Propel mix-in before feeling sick from the sugar). Anyway, I have the GREATEST FIND EVER – TRUE LEMON, a crystallized lemon (or lime) powder:

I found it at Whole Foods in Union Square for $3.19 and each packet is enough for a large water bottle (depending on how lemony you want your water to be). True Lemon tastes better than the lemon from the squeezable lemon, it lasts longer, and it’s cheaper! You can also put it on food or in other type of drinks (even soft drinks). I’m a huge fan and I’ve already gone through about 10 packets because it’s a great way to make water (or food) more interesting.

In the upcoming weeks, I’ll be posting more recipes, grocery items I like, and other interesting tidbits from cooking at home because I definitely haven’t been eating out as much. Stay tuned!
