Orange Creamsicle Adrenal Cocktail Recipe

This is my favorite way to enjoy an adrenal cocktail because it helps to keep your blood sugar balanced. Adding healthy fat and protein to an adrenal cocktail will help your body to absorb the sugar from the juice slower, keeping your blood sugar balanced. It’s also so delicious and the creamy element reminds me of a creamsicle. This orange creamsicle adrenal cocktail recipe makes for the perfect afternoon treat, especially on a hot summer day.

What is an Adrenal Cocktail?

What is an adrenal cocktail you ask? It’s an easy way to replenish vitamins and minerals that are easily lost in our day-to-day lives, specifically pinpointing the needs of our adrenal glands. Daily stress can deplete our bodies with some of the vitamins and minerals they need for the adrenal glands to function well. For example, when you are under times of stress your adrenal glands need more vitamin C to function properly and produce the hormones that help to regulate many functions in the body: blood pressure, metabolism, your immune system, and responses to stress. The adrenal cocktail is made up of vitamin C, potassium, and sodium. This balance of vitamins and minerals is used by the adrenal glands to produce hormones and combat fatigue and as a bonus, this combo is also great for hydration.

Adrenal Fatigue

You may have heard of adrenal fatigue, it’s the feeling of fatigue when your adrenals are overworked and undernourished. It can be characterized by a number of different symptoms and an inability to handle stress. Adding in an adrenal cocktail every day can help to replenish your minerals, helping your adrenal glands to recover and function properly. In my own life, I have seen the addition of an adrenal cocktail help with afternoon slumps. Instead of another cup of coffee, I make an adrenal cocktail and enjoy it in the sunshine if possible.

Orange Creamsicle Adrenal Cocktail Recipe Ingredients

First you will need organic orange juice which offers lots of vitamin C and antioxidants. The adrenal glands are concentrated with vitamin C and it and its antioxidant properties are used by the adrenal glands to produce hormones. Next you’ll need coconut water which is rich in minerals like potassium. Potassium is another mineral that is used up quickly by the adrenal glands during times of stress. You’ll also need a high quality sea salt to provide sodium. Sodium is actually used in many processes in the body and your cells can not function properly without it. It is needed to bring nutrients into our cells and It is also needed by your adrenal glands. It is one of the key nutrients that many people with adrenal fatigue are lacking. Make sure to use a high-quality brand like Redmond Real Salt, to make sure it’s clean and contains lots of minerals. Lastly, I like to add coconut cream or heavy cream to the adrenal cocktail recipe for blood sugar stability. I even use raw milk instead of cream if that’s all I have. It tastes amazing, just like a creamsicle.

How to Make an Orange Creamsicle Adrenal Cocktail
