WHAT ARE ADAPTOGENS? Adaptogens are a natural substance considered to help the body adapt to stress and to exert a normalizing effect upon bodily processes. To learn more about how to transform your energy hormones and feel turned on by your life, living in yourself, register for the next Vibrant Life Workshop. HOW TO MIX All adaptogen elixir recipes need to be blended or mixed in order to emulsify the ingredients (specifically the fats in each recipe). The foundation of adaptogen elixirs are the herbs, quality protein, quality fats, and other ingredients that enhance each recipe. Explore and find your own method to blend each recipe. When mixed properly, your elixir will be creamy, rich and smooth. You can: Use a blender and mix at low speed until you reach the creamy and frothy consistency after the tea is steeped. Pour everything into a cup and use a frother or whisk and drink through a yerba maté straw. Simply use a coffee press, strain, and pour into your mug, then mix. You can even pour into a lidded jar and shake it to blend either after straining or have a built-in strainer. This is especially effective when traveling or on the go.
