Years ago, my mom started buying Emergen-C. I’ve been hooked ever since and for good reason. If you’re like me, you are living a crazy busy life. It’s constant go-go-go from getting really early (hello 4:45am!) to hitting the sack later than you’d like.
My day is full of stuff that requires energy, focus and enthusiasm. But I’m not into getting anything in my system that’s not natural to help me out. That’s one reason I’m semi-obsessed with Emergen-C.
I usually mix up one Emergen-C per day — in the morning before I head to the office — because it offers a natural energy boost and helps with immune support. Goodness knows, we can all use help with our immune systems.
Flavor Love
The other reason I love Emegen-C is because of the variety of flavors they offer. There are so many — everything from cranberry-pomegranate to lemon-lime. I personally prefer Pink Lemonade.
Additionally, it’s a fun drink because it’s all about the fizz. So you just add the Emergen-C powder to the bottom of your class, than fill it up 4-6oz (don’t want too much water or you will lose flavor) and stir it up to your heart’s content. Then it’s all fizzy and kind of feels like a fancy drink.
As an athlete, Emergen-C is also a wonderful supplement to my routine because it helps naturally replenish electrolytes, which is what I’m always going for after a big run or workout.
I usually add ice to my drink or use very cold water. After a workout, ice cold is the only way to go.
Also, did you know you can actually use Emergen-C in recipes like guacamole? The lemon-lime flavor works for that — who knew? That’s awesome!
