I know this post is coming out late, but my blog was down for a few days.  Here is yet another favorite product of mine that I take first thing in the morning.

I find it helps your digestive system and lessened my need for caffeine.  While I haven’t completely quit coffee, I can get away with having just a 1/2 cup in the morning.  Also, it may be too much information, but a lot of people also claim it helps to gently get the bowels moving in the morning.  Aloe Vera and Lemon are also great for alkalizing the body.  Most people consume too many acid forming foods – protein, soda, sugar, etc.  These ingredients are also great for the liver and aiding the body’s natural cleaning process.  What’s even better, is that it TASTES GOOD!!!!  I mix it with warm water and its like a warm lemonade! No sugar added either, which I love.  I was also told by a company rep that its fine to take during pregnancy too.  One of my best friends who is due at the end of Jan has been taking it for a while and loves it!

Unfortunately, I think its only available in Canada at the moment—sorry International readers!

Here is some more info from their website:

Holistic Pharmacist, RoseMarie Pierce, B.Sc.Pharm, formulated the Morning Rise & Shine drink to offer an easy-to-take alternative to her popular recipe version, see www.sunstreams.ca. RoseMarie believes that replacing the morning coffee (or sweetened and processed drinks) with the Morning Rise & Shine drink will provide the double benefit of eliminating acid-forming drinks and offer instead a health-giving alkalizing, energizing alternative. By starting the day with this healthy morning drink, you will also help to improve nutrient absorption and create lightness in your digestive process.
