Thirst. Everyone gets it and when it hits, it must be satisfied. So, the next time your fluid balance is off, treat it to an antioxidant-filled, fresh-squeezed carrot juice or an Orange Mango Passion. Need something with a little less, uh, juice? Try a Blueberry Oatcake, Reduced-fat Cranberry Orange Loaf, or maybe a Chunky Strawberry-a blend of bananas, creamy peanut butter, non-fat yogurt, soymilk, organic granola and strawberries. A spoon is highly recommended.
