Notes

The nutrition information provided is an estimate. It will vary based on the specific ingredients used.
Orange Juice. It is best to use the juice of freshly squeezed oranges, with the pulp included. If you don’t like having pulp in your OJ, then pour the juice through a mesh strainer. This is the recipe for one cocktail with ½ cup of orange juice (about two freshly squeezed oranges).
Coconut water. Choosing any brand with as few ingredients as possible would be best. Of course it would be best to crack open a coconut and get the juice 😉. But, if you happen to live where no coconuts are readily available, the next best thing is to choose a healthy alternative.
Sea salt. Sea salt is recommended over table salt since sea salt has less sodium and works better for your heart health.
Optional – collagen powder. Some proponents of adrenal cocktails recommend adding collagen powder. And if your doctor recommends taking collagen powder, this is a good idea. My husband suffered from lower back pain and was advised to take collagen powder. He typically dissolves it in water and drinks it once daily, and every time he drinks it, he cringes and looks like he’s going to throw up. Yes, the collagen tastes awful 😏. So, one way to cover up this bad taste of collagen is to add it to your adrenal cocktail. Plus, you get the double benefit in one drink 😊.
