Low Iodine Lime Sparkling Water
Staying hydrated while navigating a low-iodine protocol doesn't have to mean plain, boring water. This bright, citrusy drink delivers a serious flavor upgrade with just three simple ingredients — sparkling water, fresh lime juice, and a little lime zest for extra aromatic punch. The zest is what takes it from basic to genuinely refreshing, releasing those fragrant oils that make every sip feel like a treat. Because it's built entirely from fresh fruit and plain sparkling water, there are no hidden additives, iodized salt, or processed ingredients to worry about. Pouring the sparkling water slowly over the lime mixture keeps the bubbles lively, so you get that satisfying fizz all the way to the last sip. Serve it over ice with a wedge on the rim and it looks just as good as anything you'd order at a café.
