Description
Mineral-forward morning drink with citrus, sea salt, potassium, and optional magnesium. A calm, simple way to try the Cortisol Cocktail For Weight Loss trend without heavy sugar or hype.
Ingredients
3/4 cup coconut water
1/4 cup fresh orange juice (or 2 tbsp lemon + 2 tbsp water)
1/8–1/4 tsp fine sea salt
200–300 mg magnesium citrate or glycinate (optional; follow label)
Plain sparkling water to top (optional)
Ice (optional)
Instructions
1. Add coconut water and orange (or lemon) to a glass.
2. Whisk in sea salt until dissolved.
3. If using magnesium, add per label and stir again.
4. Top with a splash of sparkling water if you like fizz.
5. Taste and adjust salt or citrus to preference.
6. Sip slowly with a protein-rich snack or breakfast.
Notes
Start small with salt; fine sea salt tastes stronger than flaky salt.
If you prefer very low sugar, use lemon in place of orange.
Not a medical treatment; check with your clinician if you take meds for blood pressure, kidney issues, or have sodium restrictions.
