Notes
Don’t skip the salt: This is what makes it a true electrolyte drink. Salt replenishes sodium that chronic stress and sweating deplete, which directly supports adrenal function.
Coconut water: Naturally rich in potassium, which works alongside sodium to regulate fluid balance and reduce cortisol.
Make ahead: Batch the coconut water, cucumber, lime, and salt base and keep in the fridge for up to 48 hours. Add sparkling water right before serving.
Kid-friendly: As written — just skip the salt for little ones if preferred.
Level it up: Add a scoop of unflavored electrolyte powder for extra mineral support on high-stress or high-heat days.
Hormone & cortisol benefits: Coconut water restores potassium depleted by stress. Sea salt supports adrenal function. Cucumber is cooling and anti-inflammatory. Lime provides vitamin C which supports cortisol metabolism.
