Don’t forget to scroll all the way to the bottom for discount codes on many of the ingredients.
You’re welcome!
happy, healthy and hot pink drink
This pretty pink drink can make you prettier than you already are, since it contains collagen peptides for better skin, nails and hair. The creamer adds a nice contrast to the sweet/tart flavor.
two cups water
one scoop collagen peptides (I use Further Food brand)
vanilla liquid stevia (I like NuNaturals)
two tablespoons heavy cream or nutpods plant based creamer
a few freeze dried strawberries for garnish
Bring the water to a boil, remove from heat and submerge the tea bags. Steep for at least ten minutes.
While water is still warm stir in the collagen peptides. Then add the liquid stevia to taste. I used about 20 drops for the two cups of tea, but sweetness may vary depending on the brand.
Let the tea chill in the fridge until you are ready to serve.
Fill two glasses with ice and pour the chilled tea. Top with a few freeze dried strawberries and then the cream. Total yum!
iced matcha latte
Matcha has amazing benefits for your skin, and if you pick the right matcha (I have two great options for you) it can also help you stay focused and productive. Both Four Sigmatic Mushroom Matcha and Further Food Mindful Matcha contain beneficial mushrooms to help with concentration and focus. A drink that makes me pretty and smart? Um, yes please!
one teaspoon matcha (I like Four Sigmatic Mushroom Matcha and Further Food Mindful Matcha)
eight ounces of cold water
stevia to taste
ice
nutpods plant based creamer (original or French Vanilla work best with this)
This is too easy! Just put the matcha, water and stevia in a large glass and stir well. A frother works great for this! Add ice so glass is almost full, and top with a splash of nutpods.
iced smart/sexy coffee
I’ve been talking about my smart/sexy coffee all over Instagram, and it’s just as good iced as it is hot. Maybe even better!
Here’s why it’s smart AND sexy: the coffee from Four Sigmatic contains mushroom extracts that help with concentration and focus, and the collagen peptides support better skin, nails and hair. Not only will this coffee make you feel smart and sexy, it tastes delicious!
one packet Four Sigmatic Mushroom Coffee (I use the one with Lion’s Mane and Chaga)
one scoop Further Food Collagen Peptides
eight ounces of cold water
ice
nutpods plant based creamer
Put the coffee powder, collagen peptides and water in a large glass and mix well. I always use a frother…it makes life so easy. Add ice to fill the glass and top with nutpods plant based creamer. I personally don’t sweeten my iced coffee, but if you like it sweet a little NuNaturals vanilla stevia adds a nice touch.
C-WTR
No recipe needed here…just order online and have this amazing margarita-like drink delivered straight to your door (shipping is free with my discount code!)
I’m pretty much in love with C-WTR these days. It’s CBD water that contains the full spectrum hemp extract, along with other beneficial ingredients like coconut water and various fruit extracts. When I drink it at night it helps me drift easily off to sleep. During the day it’s great for hydration and just over all feeling amazing.
C-WTR is lightly sweetened with evaporated cane juice, so it has a perfect sweet/tart lemon lime flavor. A full bottle contains only 40 calories. Not gonna lie…it makes a great mixer with vodka or tequila.
Oh, and you can choose from sparkling or flat. They’re both good but I order the sparkling.
And there you have it…my favorite sexy summer sips! Stay cool!
