1Welcome to Healthier Beverages
Why Simple and Refreshing Drinks?
Thank you for purchasing this book. A lot of experimenting and drinking went into writing it, and I hope you find it helpful. Im glad youre here! I wrote this beverage book for you.
Before anything else, we reach for a drink. Whether water, coffee, tea, or whatever our drink of choice is, were looking for a way to quench our thirst.
What you may not have considered until now is that the easiest way to start adding more nutrients into your life is through the beverages you choose. It is a fantastic option and one Im glad youre taking with me.
Now, this book is in no way diet focused. It is simply a way to be inspired and to explore some of the kinder, healthier options available to you and your family.
Every single recipe is alcohol-free, dairy-free, gluten-free, and vegan. Many are also Paleo-friendly and plant-based. I hope you enjoy them!
Lets get started. But before we dive into those refreshing recipes, lets start with the basics.
A Special Note about
the Photographs
As a home cook, writing this cookbook for other home cooks, I felt it was important to use real, un-staged photographs from my own home kitchen.
Though some people would prefer stock photos from a professional photographer, it was more important to show you what these recipes look like in real life. I hope you find them valuable.
Food Allergies
Please note, as someone who has no personal experience with food allergens, I do not understand food allergies and their substitutions. Regrettably, because of this lack of knowledge, I am sorry to say that I am unable to create recipes that account for those allergies. If you do have food allergies, please reach out to your allergist before using the recipes in this or any other cookbook that is not specifically written for diets with food allergies. My heart goes out to you, and I wish you all the best in your cooking.
Plastic
If you have wondered about how the use of plastic impacts your health, your familys health, and the environment, below are some great resources that can serve as a starting point for you. I still use plastic in my day-to-day life but am starting to pay attention. Im starting to change. And Im starting to be more proactive. I no longer use plastic in the microwave, and I try to avoid buying beverages stored in plastic. But it can be hard, sometimes next to impossible.
I hope that this can stimulate your own impressions and maybe even help you get started making decisions that can have positive impacts on your family and the environment.
As it relates to the health of using plastic, in the Harvard Womens Health Watch article, Is plastic a threat to your health? , published December, 2019, studies found chemicals can leach out of plastic and into the food and drinks we eat.
Some of these chemicals have been linked to health problems such as metabolic disorders (including obesity) and reduced fertility. This leaching can occur even faster and to a greater degree when plastic is exposed to heat. This means you might be getting an even higher dose of potentially harmful chemicals simply by microwaving your leftovers in a plastic container.
The one thing we can do right now is to stop using plastic in the microwave. Take that extra step to place the food or beverage you want to heat on a non-plastic plate, bowl, or mug. Its easy and its a quick way to make a big impact!
