Announcing My Next Series - Mocktails With Superfoods!
When I wanted a better mocktail, I found a great book called Good Drinks: Alcohol-Free Recipes for When You're Not Drinking For Whatever Reason. After opening the book and reading through it, I found a few recipes that sounded tasty.
What To Expect From the Make A Better Mocktail Series
In this 4 part series, I will share my recipes for mocktails over the next 4 weeks.
As I flipped through the book, I found many recipes required things that I didn't have on hand, or were very involved. Things like a shaker or having to make a lot of syrup only to make 1 drink (some syrups made enough for 12 drinks).
I wanted to add in some yummy superfoods from Your Super. In addition to that, I had a few other things I wanted:
Fewer dishes - I wanted to be able to make a drink in my Ninja Blender cup; no shaker, no fancy equipment, etc.
Easy - using a blender, I wanted this to be as close to "just dump in the ingredients" as possible
Refreshing - the mocktail has to make it feel like I'm not missing out
Superfoods - adding in superfoods was a must -I can't think of a better way to enjoy additional nutrients than in a tasty drink!
As natural as possible - using maple syrup or honey to sweeten the mocktails as well as whole fresh fruit instead of juicing
What Do You Need To Make A Better Mocktail?
To prep for my series, you will want to have a few basic ingredients on hand:
Orange
Lime
Lemon
Avocado
Mango
Honey
Maple Syrup
Canned coconut milk
Ginger beer
Cherry juice
Plain sparkling water
Strainer - optional, I'm used to having pulp from fresh fruit in my drinks, but you may not like it, have a strainer on hand in case you don't like the pulp
Plant Collagen
Golden Mellow
Skinny Protein
You will not need much of any ingredient, 1 piece of fruit each and the smallest size of everything else you can find should be enough.
I can't wait to share my superfood mocktails with you! While you wait for the recipes, read my other drink recipes.
