Boost Your Energy and Mood with a Homemade Orange and Coconut Adrenal Cocktail (Recipe)
Are you feeling tired, stressed, or burnt out? Maybe you're having trouble sleeping, feeling anxious, or experiencing a dip in your mood. If so, you might benefit from an adrenal cocktail - a delicious and easy-to-make drink that can help support your adrenal glands and boost your energy and mood.

Now, you might be wondering, "what the heck are adrenal glands?" Well, these small but mighty glands sit on top of your kidneys and play a crucial role in your body's stress response. When you're under stress, your adrenal glands release hormones like cortisol and adrenaline, which help your body respond to the challenge. But if you're constantly under stress or not giving your body the support it needs, your brain might start signalling to your adrenal glands that it's time to slow down, leading to a range of burn out symptoms, including the following:
- Chronic fatigue
- Difficulty falling or staying asleep
- Brain fog or difficulty concentrating
- Decreased sex drive
- Craving salty or sweet foods
- Dizziness or lightheadedness when standing up quickly
- Irritability or mood swings
- Low blood pressure
- Muscle weakness or aches
- Increased susceptibility to infections
- Slow recovery from illness or injury
- Weight gain, especially in the abdomen
- Reduced tolerance for stress
- Depression or anxiety
- PMS or irregular menstrual cycles
- Low body temperature
- Hair loss or thinning
- Dry skin or brittle nails
- Allergies or asthma
- Digestive problems, such as bloating or constipation.
Does that list feel familiar to you? That's where the adrenal cocktail comes in. This drink combines the power of vitamin C, potassium, and healthy fats to help support your adrenal glands and give you a natural energy boost. And the best part? It's made with simple and delicious ingredients, like orange and coconut milk.
To make the adrenal cocktail, you'll need:
- 2 large oranges
- 1/2 cup coconut milk
- 1/4 teaspoon sea salt
- 1/4 teaspoon cream of tartar
First, juice your oranges and pour the juice into a blender. Then, add the coconut milk, sea salt, and cream of tartar, and blend until smooth and frothy. Pour the mixture into a glass and enjoy!
Now, let's talk about why these ingredients are so good for your adrenal glands. Oranges are rich in vitamin C, a powerful antioxidant that can help reduce inflammation and support your immune system. Vitamin C is also crucial for the production of cortisol, a hormone that helps regulate your body's stress response. Coconut milk is a great source of healthy fats, which can help stabilize your blood sugar and provide sustained energy. And the sea salt and cream of tartar provide important minerals like potassium, which can help balance your electrolytes and support your adrenal glands.
But beyond the science, let's talk about how this drink tastes. The combination of sweet, tangy orange juice and rich, creamy coconut milk is like a tropical vacation in a glass. The sea salt adds a subtle salty note that balances out the sweetness, and the cream of tartar gives the drink a slight tang that makes it extra refreshing. Plus, the frothy texture makes it feel like a fancy coffee shop drink - but without the caffeine crash.
I love that using simple ingredients in your kitchen can not only taste so good but also support your body in healing from sometimes overwhelming conditions like burnout.
