Make a mean almond milk with coconut water

Yes, buying almond milk at the store is oh-so-convenient… but it’s not nearly as yummy or good for you!And if you want it to be REALLY tasty make it with coconut water instead of plain water (if coconut water isn’t your thing, you can always use plain water and this still tastes good).

Take powdered supplements in shot glasses

There I was, bitching to my personal trainer friend about how my knees hurt, but I hate taking my glucosamine chondroitin pills because they’re SO BIG. But I wouldn’t drink the powdered stuff because I can’t down the whole glass at once. That’s when she dropped this genius on me…
