Ingredients
- 1/2 cup fresh blueberries (packed with antioxidants)
- 10-12 fresh mint leaves (promotes digestion and relaxation)
- 1/2 inch fresh ginger (supports digestive health)
- 1-2 tbsp agave (natural sweetener with a low glycemic index)
- 1 fresh lime (adds a burst of citrus)
- 1/2 coconut water (hydrates and replenishes electrolytes)
- 1/2 cup poppi prebiotic soda (optional)
- crushed ice (for a chilled drink)
- Mint sprigs, lime and extra blueberries (garnish)
Instructions
- Muddle the Ingredients: In a cocktail shaker or large glass, add the blueberries, mint leaves, and sliced ginger. Muddle (or crush) these ingredients together with a muddler or the back of a spoon. This will release all the delicious flavors, especially the mint oils and blueberry juices.
- Add Lime & Agave: Squeeze the juice of one lime into the glass, followed by the agave syrup. Agave is a great natural sweetener that provides a subtle sweetness without spiking blood sugar levels. Stir to combine.
- Pour in Coconut Water: Add the coconut water, which is rich in electrolytes and will help hydrate you while adding a slight sweetness to balance the tartness of the lime.
- Shake or Stir: If you're using a cocktail shaker, add some ice and shake the mixture vigorously for about 10-15 seconds. If you’re working in a glass, stir everything well to combine and chill.
- Top Off with Poppi Prebiotic Drink: Strain the mixture into a glass filled with crushed ice. Pour in the Poppi Prebiotic Drink to top off the cocktail. This will add a refreshing, fizzy element while boosting the drink with gut-friendly prebiotics.
- Garnish and Serve: Garnish with a sprig of fresh mint and a few extra blueberries for an added touch of color and flavor. For extra fizz, you can also add a splash of sparkling water.
