TikTok Wellness Mocktails and Why They Work
Wellness Mocktails are trending on TikTok...
If you're on TikTok, you've probably seen the 'Sleepy Girl' Mocktail videos. There's a whole new trend going around where nutritionists are sharing wellness mocktails that feature functional ingredients and supplements. We love this trend - so here are our versions of some popular wellness mocktail recipes:
The Sleepy Time Mocktail
Servings: 1, Vegan & Gluten-Free, Sleep Support
Ingredients
- 1/2 Cup of Pure Organic Cherry Juice
- 1 Tablespoon of Magnesium Glycinate Powder*
- Your choice of sparkling drink (such as Sap Sucker, Cove Probiotic Soda, or Kite Adaptogenic Tea)
*Make sure you are using Magnesium Glycinate NOT Citrate for this recipe!
Directions
- Add desired amount of ice to a glass
- Pour in the 1/2 cup of cherry juice
- Add 1 tablespoon of magnesium glycinate powder to the liquid and stir well
- Top it off with your favourite sparkling beverage
Why It Works
Cherry juice naturally contains melatonin, which promotes sleep and Magnesium Glycinate can help relax the nervous system which also helps you fall asleep easier.
