Revitalize my day with one simple recipe? Yes, please! As a working mum, devoted partner, and loyal friend who doesn’t get much sleep, I am exhausted.

In today’s fast-paced world, many of us are familiar with the term ‘adrenal fatigue.’ It feels like everywhere I look, people are talking about and sharing information on hormone health, cycle syncing, and more. Research suggests that adrenal fatigue is a condition often associated with prolonged stress, which can leave us feeling depleted, overwhelmed, and in need of a pick-me-up. One way to support adrenal health is through changes in diet and lifestyle (some of you may know that I am currently experimenting with the Autoimmune Protocol).

Recently, I came across a post discussing how a refreshing and nourishing drink can be a wonderful addition to a self-care routine. Introducing the Adrenal Fatigue Cocktail – a rejuvenating blend created to support your adrenal glands and boost your energy levels. Well, it’s actually a non-alcoholic mocktail, but you get the idea. This cocktail combines ingredients known for their stress-relieving and energy-boosting properties, providing both a delightful taste and a practical way to improve your well-being.

Why This Cocktail Works

The Adrenal Fatigue Cocktail is carefully crafted with ingredients that can help support adrenal function and combat fatigue:

1. Coconut Water: A natural electrolyte-rich beverage, coconut water aids in hydration and replenishes essential minerals, including potassium.
2. Salt: electrolytes, improves cell function, and more.
3. Orange Juice and/or lemon juice: High in vitamin C, juice from citrus fruit helps support the immune system and adds a refreshing zest to the drink.
4. Coconut milk: Adds creaminess, flavor, and fat for satiety
5. Collagen peptides: a boost of protein for extra satiety and blood sugar regulation
6. Turmeric: natural antioxidant properties
7. Ice: Extra hydration, cold drink vibes

Recipe

Ingredients:

• 2 oranges
• 1 cup coconut water (can substitute 1 tsp cream of tartar for potassium benefits at fraction of the cost)
• ⅓ cup coconut milk and/or cream (I like this one)
• 1/2 teaspoon turmeric powder
• Pinch of salt
• Ice cubes (optional)
• Fresh mint leaves (for garnish, optional)

Instructions:

1. Prepare Juice: Squeeze the juice of two oranges and/or lemons into a glass. Stir to incorporate the juice, which will add a zesty flavor and a boost of vitamin C.
2. Mix the Ingredients: In a large glass or pitcher, combine the juice, coconut water, turmeric powder, collagen, coconut milk, and pinch of salt. Stir well until the turmeric and collagen are fully dissolved.
3. Chill and Serve: If you prefer a cold drink, add ice cubes to your glass or pitcher. Stir well and garnish with fresh mint leaves if desired.
4. Enjoy: Pour yourself a refreshing glass of this adrenal-supporting cocktail and sip slowly, allowing its revitalizing benefits to take effect.

Incorporating an Adrenal Fatigue Cocktail as a ritual

The Adrenal Fatigue Cocktail is not just a beverage, but also a way to improve self-care and achieve a more balanced life. I have grown to love this drink in the morning as a means of taking care of myself and boosting my energy for the day. Here’s to feeling rejuvenated and energized!
