Switch up your Summer afternoons with a revitalizing, sweet drink. When the pep has gone out of your step in the hot afternoon sun and you need rejuvenation, mix up this refreshing drink and pull up a lounge chair.
Our energy levels can wax and wane throughout the day, especially if we have had caffeine or sugar at any point. In the Summer, the heat often gets to us and makes us feel drained. While the nice weather is beautiful, it is hard to enjoy it without energy! 😞
The main reason the Summer heat can be especially taxing is that water from our bodies evaporates faster through sweat and breathing, causing us to become dehydrated easier. For most of us, we also don’t take in enough minerals in a day, and even if we eat a “balanced” diet, our soils are often depleted of key minerals, leaving our water balance off due to not having enough electrolytes to maintain.
A Pineapple Coconut Elixir can help replenish what the sun has diminished with a hefty dose of potassium, some naturally occurring sodium, and a mix of the rest of the needed electrolytes.
The coconut cream in the recipe helps add in healthy fats in the form of easier to digest MCTs for quick fuel. I typically use a stick coffee blender and a spoon to dissolve it as best I can and chew any little chunks that are left, but if you would prefer a smoother result, you could either blend it, try thinner coconut milk instead, or skip the coconut cream altogether and swap out the sparkling water for coconut water. You can make it up however tastes the best to you.
Are you ready to be transported to the tropics?

Instructions
Use a handheld blender, coffee stick, blender or trusty spoon to mix the ingredients together. The coconut cream can be a bit chunky, but is a great nutrient booster, if you like it.

“Great product
As a breastfeeding mom, I need to make sure I am hydrated throughout the day. I was unhappy with other electrolyte drinks and mixes, since I felt like they were full of unnecessary ingredients. I really like this product so far! It is clean and from a trustworthy source. I typically mix a tablespoon in my first big tumbler of water for the day, refilling with regular water from there. I feel hydrated and energized!”
