Greece
Secret weapons: Lemon and oregano. Lemon was originally used in Greece to kill bacteria, says Elena Paravantes, R.D., a member of the Hellenic Dietetic Association. "Today, Greeks add it to anything. Not only is lemon an excellent source of vitamin C (a potent antioxidant), but it has fewer calories than other citrus fruit," she says.
American translation: Paravantes recommends whipping up a batch of the ultimate free-radical-fighting salad dressing or meat marinade. "Just mix lemon juice with olive oil, oregano, and garlic," says Paravantes. There's your dressing. You can toss that bottle of goopy ranch now.

Another personal favorite as a morning antioxidant drink:
Large glass of cold water
1 Tablespoon apple cider vinegar
Half a lemon squeezed into the glass
1 Tablespoon PomeGreat Pomegranate Juice Concentrate (Jarrow Formulas, net carbs per serving 7 g, Oxygen Radical Absorptive Capacity 1245 - supposedly higher antioxidant activity than Red Wine and Green Tea)
as an alternative in the evening try sparkling water to give the combination a little more fizz.
