Arbonne EnergyFizz Popsicles
Ingredients:
2 Arbonne Ginseng Fizz Sticks (flavor of your choice)
2 cups of filtered water
1 cup of coconut water (provides electrolytes and a mild sweetness)
2 tablespoons of organic raw honey or agave syrup (optional, for added sweetness)
1 teaspoon of freshly grated ginger (optional, for extra zing)
Popsicle molds and sticks
Instructions:
Dissolve the Arbonne Ginseng Fizz Sticks in the 2 cups of filtered water. Stir well until fully dissolved.
In a separate bowl, combine the coconut water and honey or agave syrup (if using). Stir until the sweetener is fully incorporated.
If using, grate the fresh ginger and add it into the coconut water mixture.
Combine the Fizz stick solution with the coconut water mixture. Stir well.
Pour the mixture into your popsicle molds. Make sure not to fill them to the very top as the mixture will expand as it freezes.
Place the sticks in the molds.
Freeze the popsicles for at least 4 hours, or until solid.
To serve, run the mold under warm water for a few seconds to loosen the popsicle. Enjoy!
This version without orange juice can be a bit more subtle in flavor, with the focus on the refreshing taste of the ginseng fizz sticks and the mild sweetness of the coconut water. Enjoy your healthy, revitalizing, and tasty summer treat!
Enjoying these Arbonne Ginseng Fizz Popsicles can contribute positively to your mental health in several ways:
Hydration: Proper hydration is essential for optimal brain function. Dehydration can cause problems with focus, memory, and mood. The water and coconut water in these popsicles can help you stay hydrated, particularly on hot summer days.
Ginseng: The Arbonne Ginseng Fizz Sticks used in this recipe contain ginseng, which has been studied for its potential benefits on mental function. Some research suggests that ginseng might improve mental performance, reduce mental fatigue, and even support mood.
Ginseng is classified as an adaptogen, which means it can help the body resist different types of stress, be it physical, chemical, or biological. It can help maintain homeostasis in the body, balancing the body's physiological functions.
Adaptogens like ginseng are believed to strengthen the body's response to stress and enhance its ability to cope with anxiety and fight fatigue – slowly and gently, without jolts or crashes. They're called adaptogens because of their unique ability to “adapt” their function according to the body's specific needs.
Healthy Sugar Levels: By using a natural sweetener like honey or agave syrup instead of refined sugars, you can avoid the sugar spikes and crashes that could lead to mood swings and energy dips.
Enjoyment and Mindfulness: The act of making these popsicles can also serve as a form of mindfulness, a mental state achieved by focusing your awareness on the present moment. Additionally, the enjoyment of savoring a refreshing popsicle on a hot day can bring a moment of joy and relaxation.
Healthy habits: By opting to make a homemade, healthier popsicle, you're practicing self-care and nurturing a positive relationship with food.
