Adrenal Cocktail #drink #cocktail
Many of you know that I have battled adrenal fatigue for many years. And with our stressed-out and hurried lifestyles, the adrenals of many are on the fritz.
I'm doing worlds better now than years ago, but I still want to do more and continue to support my body using different means. I will be sharing more what I am doing in the future, but today I want to share something that has been a blessing to me — an Adrenal Cocktail, which is my version of Trim Healthy Mama's Singing Canary; great for battling adrenal fatigue.
I heard about this drink a long time ago, but never tried it. Finally, when I did try it, I felt that it was exacerbating or causing insomnia. I tried it again and thought that it happened again.
I don't give up easily, however :). So I ended up reintroducing it into my diet and the insomnia didn't recur. So something else must have been going on.
I love having this adrenal cocktail as an alternative to water, and really am happy knowing about all of the healthful ingredients that I am putting into my diet whenever I drink it.
Vodka Lemonade Wine Cocktail
- 1 - 2 lemons (peeled)
- 1 1/2 cups filtered water
- 1/2 - 1 tsp organic ground turmeric
- 1 tsp organic MCT oil
- 1 tsp organic protein powder
- 1/2 tsp organic vanilla extract
- 2 generous pinches salt
- 1/2 tsp organic cinnamon
- 1/4 tsp ginger powder
- 1/4 tsp ground nutmeg (substitute mace for AIP)
- pinch clove
- 1/4 tsp stevia extract
- 2,000 - 4,000 mg vitamin C powder (optional)
- 1 - 2 drops lemon essential oil (optional. Please see notes in post)
- Ice cubes
- Peel the rind off the lemon(s) using a sharp knife. Leave as much of the white pith as possible as it has loads of nutritional benefits. I used the whole lemon, minus the seeds, if using organic lemons.
- Slice each lemon into quarters. Remove the seeds, and place the lemon pieces into your blender. Add water and all of the remaining ingredients besides the ice cubes. Blend well.
- Place the blended mixture into a quart jar. Add ice cubes and more water to fill the jar to the top. Put a tight lid on the jar and shake before drinking.
