It seems like everyone I know is detoxing this week. People are working out, staying in, and eating healthy. To support my sister and friends, who are on a 10-day vegan cleanse, I'm making a figure-friendly meal full of vegetables. Since they've also given up drinking, I'll have to serve a nonalcoholic beverage. Instead of offering something boring like water, I'm whipping up a round of this uplifting refresher. It's a combination of muddled mint and pineapple and pomegranate juice. It's fruity, but not too heavy and will pair perfectly with chickpea, mint, and parsley spread. To look at the easy recipe, keep reading.

that sounds yummy!
1this is awesome - I love fun, inventive drinks that satisfy a teetotaler's thirst. I'm one myself; and on top of that I try not to drink too much soda so I'm pretty much always resigned to iced tea or water (both of which I love - but it's always nice to mix it up)...
