Drinks worth making yourself.
Drinks are the easiest place to take in calories without noticing, and the easiest place to fix it. Most of what is sold as a healthy drink is closer to dessert once you read the label.
These are simple, mostly five minutes or less, and none of them depend on anything hard to find. A few are worth making in a pitcher so there is something in the fridge when plain water stops appealing.
A note on the detox drinks: they are pleasant and they help you drink more fluid, which is genuinely useful. They are not doing anything dramatic to your metabolism, and anyone telling you otherwise is selling something.
