Spring Spritzers

May 25, 2023 by CAP Crew Photography by john von pamer

This spring we’re sipping on refreshing and delicious beverages that encourage radiant and hydrated skin from the inside-out. Make any, or all, of these health promoting drinks to reveal your most vibrant glow. First up, our Kombucha Frappe, which marries tart rhubarb, ice, coriander, coconut sugar and kombucha, for a sparkling probiotic powerhouse we lean into whenever rhubarb comes into season at the farmers market. Or try our Sea Buckthorn Berry Spritzer, which highlights sour sea buckthorn berries, rich in omega-7s, aka the beauty omega, to strengthen hair, nails and rejuvenate our complexion. And finally, for a creamy, grounding treat, whip up a batch of Goji Nectar and add to a glass of homemade nut milk for a delicious and vibrant boost of antioxidants. Drink in the season's beautiful bountiful superfoods. Cheers to health and celebrations.
