I discovered cinnamon water in Costa Rica. Try adding pear slices – it makes a wonderful summer treat.

Traditional orange juice is not allowed on Plan Z because when you remove all the pulp (the fiber) what's left is a whole bunch of sugar. But, if you have a magic bullet or a high-powered blender, you can enjoy a liquefied, blended orange - as long as you blend the whole orange and don't strain the pulp.

The good news is you can have your sweet tea and drink it, too. I’ve come up with a new recipe and had it rated and perfected at a party at my home last night.

If you miss soda but know in your heart that it’s bad for you, try a recipe like this one.

I would not drink this all day while on ZReduction, but a couple of glasses should be fine.

This recipe is for a sweet version. I think it tastes just like a Dreamsicle. For a drink that's not as sweet, use regular vodka.
