I got this recipe for my nutritionist friend years ago and after this back-to-back barbecue-full summer, have been using it a lot lately! It's cheap, easy to make, and totally works. I generally have it a couple hours before bedtime and wake up refreshed (and not to mention, it keeps me out of the cookie jar), but it works when you're feeling bloated any time.
