Mojitos are delicious, however they’re usually made with simple syrup and sweet liqueurs that are loaded with sugar and can lead to inflammation. Not this recipe! To craft this beverage, you’ll use Strawberry Lemonade Leaky Gut Revive® for a refreshing kick of flavor without ANY refined sugar or gluten.
This mojito works double-time to keep your gut healthy. Strawberry Lemonade Leaky Gut Revive® supports a healthy intestinal lining, and can even help you overcome digestive issues. I replaced simple syrup with agave or honey to add to the sweet taste without contributing to inflammation in the way standard sugar will.
Add a splash of light rum, or skip it for a delicious virgin mojito. Either way, you can count on a drink that tastes delicious and will put you on the path to your optimal health.
