Ingredients
Main Drink
- 2 ½ cups coconut water – natural electrolytes + potassium * can sub filtered water here or decaf green tea However, coconut water is the best option as it’s a natural electrolyte.
- 1/2-1 whole lime peeled (if you like it strong, do a whole peeled lime, do a half for less of a punch)

- In a wide-mouth jar, blend the grape purée ingredients (grapes, grape juice, and sweetener) using an immersion blender until smooth. Set aside.
