“”Natural Energy-boosting Molasses Drink Recipe ::
Blackstrap molasses. It’s one of the best home remedies around. But it takes someone like Shanice Bannis, from City of Creative Dreams, who actually created a morning routine drink with it to get us to check out her Natural Energy-boosting Molasses Drink Recipe.
Shanice doesn’t like coffee but still needs an energy boost in the morning. She developed this natural energy-boosting molasses drink. Most blackstrap molasses drinks are made with water and a sprinkle of lemon (for the necessary vitamin C). Shanice, however, transformed that ‘taste challenging’-aspect of typical molasses drinks, into something that, well, I actually might like to try.
