I also don’t like that it contains artificial flavoring, and the honey isn’t the raw, organic variety. The exact type of honey or processing method, which does impact the quality and healthfulness, isn’t specified. The honey packets also contain, an artificial preservative.

And it packs a serious dose of sugar. But if you’re feeling miserable and still trying to power through work or errands, popping into a Starbucks to grab this drink may help. .Can't get to Starbucks? DIY it and make your own medicine ball drink at home.
