Kristin is in to whip the boys up something special for #DryJuly thanks to Ārepa.

COCONUT BERRY ROUGH HUMBLE PIE ALL SHOOK UP:
INGREDIENTS:
In a shaker...

  •  1 oz of an irish creme substitute - a can of premium Coconut Creme (Trident works well), Chocolate Syrup (Natvio is fab), Almond Syrup & Vanilla - shake it all up like Humble Pie's song & it makes an amazing base for a #Mocktail
  •  1 oz Ārepa Performance - the berry brain drink gives it a yummy bite!
  •  15 - 30 mls lemon juice - less is more here!

Rim the glass w/ lemon juice & cookie crumbles or graham crackers - we use Golden Crunch cookies and they hit the spot!

And we made an effort on these BERRY YUMMY bounty bars!

  • 1 cup frozen mixed berries
  • 1 cup frozen mango & pineapple
