The Arnold Palmer – named after the champion golfer who helped make it famous – combines tea and lemonade for a fantastic thirst quencher.

The only issue is that traditional lemonade has about 10 grams of sugar per cup – even more if you add sweet tea. That’s bad news for your appetite, blood glucose, and ability to burn fat!

Meet the Metabolism-Boosting Arnold Palmer. This recipe does away with insulin-spiking sugar that can cause you to feel hungrier and helps control your appetite instead.

The secret is a combination of green tea and L-glutamine, a powerful amino acid that can help boost your health and crush cravings.

I like to think Mr. Palmer would have appreciated a drink that tasted great and helped him stay on the golf course longer with even more energy!
