In "Cravings, Binges, Cheating," the workshop will kick off with exotic super spritzers–things like chilled citrus effervescence with Wild American Ginseng. This spritzer activates the brain and body, tastes great and of course, is radiantly healthy.
We will make and taste a few other light health tonics that incorporate ingredients such as aloe vera, yerba mate, longevity tea, coconut kefir and more.
We will then talk about food cravings, binges and the best foods to "cheat with." We will discuss the psychology of over-eating and alternative ways to quench phantom hunger.
