Baking Soda and Lime Juice

• 1 tsp baking soda
• 1/4 cup or 4 Tbsp lime juice
• 12oz water

Directions: In a tall galss add the baking soda then slowly add the lime juice.  Add it slowly because it will fizz up A LOT!!!  Once it is done fizzing, make sure the baking soda is completely dissolved, then add the water.  After that, drink it down.  

Some say to drink it after a meal, others say drink it before you go to bed or upon awakening.  I believe it depends on why you're drinking it.  Whenever you drink it make sure you are near a bathroom for at least an hour because it will make you go!
