Adrenal Cream Cider
Adrenal Cream Cider - If hot apple cider and a creamy chai latte had a balanced, blood sugar baby - you would have adrenal cream cider! Adapted from the original adrenal cocktail - fall version
We are nearing the end of our blood sugar series this week and I just had to save the best for last!
1| Because we are entering fall
2| I’m sure everyone is tired of the pumpkin spice latte
And even though I do have a great pumpkin spice latte recipe to share with you guys - this is not the time. Haha.
The time is for the adrenal cocktail - fall version! You heard it right, the traditional adrenal cocktail version that is made with simple ingredients (fresh fruit juice, coconut milk/cream, hydrolyzed collagen powder, and sea salt) has now been transformed into a warm and comforting fall drink. How? Let’s break it down!
Organic Apple Juice - Has a notable amount of vitamin C, a key component of the body’s immune system and is needed when your adrenal glands are producing cortisol during stressful situations. Bonus* Apples contain an adequate amount of fiber and malic acid which may improve the digestive rate and can support liver function.
Coconut Cream/Milk - Coconut milk has stable saturated fatty acids that help stabilize blood sugar levels and provides your body with energy. Depending on your preference in texture you can use either unsweetened coconut milk or cream. Personally, I think the cream is better and provides that “latte” texture to the drink!
Hydrolyzed Collagen Powder - Collagen acts as a blood sugar regulator and provides essential amino acids to support and build a resilient gut and boost cortisol production.
Cinnamon - Is that special spice that helps to naturally balance blood sugar, don’t skimp on it!
Sea Salt or pink Himalayan sea salt - contain essential electrolytes and minerals like potassium, sodium, and magnesium that are key for energy production, blood pressure, and adrenal function.
All of these power forces create a hot apple cider meets chai latte taste. It’s just so hard to put into words how amazing this drink tastes!
