A Healthy Drink that Will Change Your Life

In the summertime, we seek lightness – lighter clothes, lighter food, lighter lifestyle. Drinking water becomes especially important because of the heat. One drink I highly recommend you add to your daily drinks is Fortune Delight. Made by Sunrider, Fortune Delight provides antioxidant benefits. It’s light, refreshing and easy to make if you’re busy. Fortune Delight comes in a powdered form within a packet. Don’t let the convenience fool you – this packet is power packed and extremely nourishing for the cleansing systems of the body. I find it’s a great replacement for tea and compliments a healthy lifestyle. Here is an easy recipe utilizing Fortune Delight:

Summer Delight:

1 packet of Lemon Fortune Delight

1 packet of Raspberry Fortune Delight

6 cups of water

Several squirts of Sunnydew

Simply combine & stir –

This delicious tea is rich in catechins which are naturally occurring polyphenol chemicals found in Camellia extract, the primary ingredient in Fortune Delight®. These antioxidants have been shown effective in absorbing damaging free radicals.

Enjoy!
