Happy Summer! We hope you've been enjoying the heat, lots of outdoor activities, and are keeping hydrated. Speaking of hydration, today we are sharing some delicious, functional, summer drink recipes! Why not add some additional benefits to your summer sipping? These recipes feature mushrooms, collagen, matcha, and adaptogens to keep you healthy and hydrated all summer long!



Below are recipes for 3 summer drinks with amazing functional benefits:

iced dirty chai latte
Iced Dirty Chai Latte with 5 Mushrooms

Why it's functional: Organic Traditions Dirty Chai Mushroom Coffee includes a blend of 5 organic mushrooms (Lion's Mane, Reishi, Cordyceps, Turkey Tail, and Chaga). Each of these mushrooms has their own set of benefits including reducing stress, boosting immune function, antioxidant properties, and boosting energy!

INGREDIENTS


  • Organic Traditions Dirty Chai Mushroom Coffee Blend
  • Filtered Water
  • Milk of choice (We used Earth's Own Oat Milk, Unsweetened, Zero Sugar)
  • Ice
  • Sweetener of choice (We used coconut sugar - it gives it a Brown Sugar Shaken Espresso kind of taste!)

DIRECTIONS


Regular:

  1. In a tall glass, mix 1 1/2 tbsp of Organic Traditions Dirty Chai Mushroom Coffee Blend with about a half cup of cold water. Mix until fully combined. It can help to use an electric whisk if you have one.
  2. *Alternatively, if you have a shaker (cocktail, protein shaker, etc.) add all of your ingredients and a give a good shake. Pour over ice in a tall glass.
  3. Add in desired sweetener (we used a tbsp of coconut sugar) and stir to combine. Add some ice cubes to your glass and top with your milk.
  4. Stir and enjoy!


Whipped Coffee:


  1. Add 2 tbsp Organic Traditions Dirty Chai Mix, 2 tbsp coconut sugar, and 2–5 tbsp boiling water to a bowl.
  2. Using a hand or stand mixer, whip on high for 2–5 minutes until light and fluffy.
  3. Taste test. It’ll be strong — but remember you’ll be diluting with milk. Add more coconut sugar if you like it sweeter.
  4. Fill a tall glass with ice and add your favourite milk about ¾ full
  5. Spoon the whipped chai/coffee on top, then stir with a straw or spoon to swirl it all together.


An iced Matcha Latte in a glass with Natural Factors Collagen
Iced Matcha Latte with Salted Vanilla Collagen Cold Foam

Why it's functional:  Matcha itself has many benefits like being a strong source of antioxidants and polyphenols as well as boosting concentration - and it doesn't give you a caffeine crash thanks to l-theanine! Natural Factors Total Body Collagen promotes healthy collagen production for boosted skin, bones, and cartilage health. It also has vitamin c, hyaluronic acid, glutamine, and biotin!

INGREDIENTS


  • 1 scoop of Natural Factors Total Body Collagen, Salted Vanilla Flavour
  • 1 tbsp of maple syrup
  • 1/2 cup of preferred milk, ex. oat or cashew
  • 2 tsp of matcha powder
  • Pro tip: Sifting your matcha before use can help reduce clumping and a smoother blend.
  • Filtered Water
  • Ice

DIRECTIONS


  1. To make your cold foam, in a small pitcher or bowl combine your milk, maple syrup, and collagen. Use an electric hand blender to fully combine. Beat until the texture is nice and foamy!
  2. In a tall glass, add your matcha powder. Add cold water to the glass, about half way (we want to leave room for ice and the cold foam). Whisk vigorously with a matcha whisk, electric whisk, or good old fork until well combined.
  3. Add some ice to your matcha and top with your cold foam. Enjoy!


Mango turmeric smoothie
Tropical Turmeric Smoothie

Why it's functional:  Harmonic Arts' Golden Mylk Herbal Latte Mix includes organic turmeric (ultra anti-inflammatory), organic lucuma (antioxidants), organic ashwagandha (adaptogenic, stress fighting), and organic ginger (anti-inflammatory, good for digestion) among other herbal ingredients!

INGREDIENTS


  • 1 Cup Frozen Mango - can sub for other tropical or summer fruits like pineapple or peach
  • 1 Banana
  • ½ Avocado
  • 1/2 Cup coconut milk (or preferred plant milk)
  • 1 tsp fresh lime or lemon juice
  • 2 tsp Harmonic Arts' Golden Mylk Herbal Latte
  • 1 tbsp hemp hearts or ground flax
  • ½ cup plain greek yogurt
  • Optional: Coconut whipping cream and coconut flakes to top.
