Mealtime Magic: Whole30 Suitable Spritzer Recipes

The Whole30 Diet is a hot topic lately as a way to jumpstart a more mindful and healthier mindset around food choices. Here are several Whole30-friendly spritzer recipes. Drinking water is a staple of not only weight loss, but a healthy lifestyle change --- however, many people find still water difficult to drink. Frankly, it’s just a bit boring. 

Enter SodaStream: With the touch of a button, SodaStream carbonates water, turning it from flat into sparkling water. Not only is sparkling water easier for many people to drink (Studies show that SodaStream owners consume 43% more water than non-owners – that’s approximately 3 more glasses each day), it’s cheaper and better for the earth than starting a La Croix addiction in the name of weight loss!
