4 Refreshing and Healthy Drinks for Summer 3

Summer's coming and that means it's time to sit on a patio and enjoy a cold, refreshing drink. We're trading in the artificial flavors and sweeteners found at Starbucks and other chains for inflammation-fighting turmeric and hydrating coconut water. We're also serving up sweet tea that's even sweeter without the sugar. There's a dreamy, creamy peanut butter milkshake to take you back to the summers of your childhood-with collagen to add a boost of youth to your skin.
