Summer shimmers in our minds like ocean waves, holding promise of languid afternoons and long days ripe for exploration. Yes, reality can match the visions–but it’s also hot, hot, hot. Give yourself respite from the heat with a blissful beverage that truly replenishes. This vibrant cooling tonic goes beyond hydration, providing deep nourishment as it soothes your systems.

The lush, verdant color of this cooler is a clear giveaway for its nutrient-dense richness. Crisp cucumber and refreshing mint combine seamlessly to offer welcome refreshment. Combined with our ORGANIC INDIA Amla, you have a true trifecta for coolness.

Also known as Indian gooseberry, amla is bursting with benefits. The deceptively small, humble fruit is bright, tart, and naturally rejuvenating, containing an impressive array of healthy compounds and antioxidant properties*. In addition to helping support immune resilience, healthy stress response, and overall wellness,* amla is known to have a natural cooling effect that can assist in alleviating excess heat*. Made from whole amla fruit responsibly wildcrafted from certified organic forests, our ORGANIC INDIA Amla is grown as nature intended, preserving the fruit’s authentic strength so that you can make the most of its potential.

While we love the softness of a thin, ice-cold elixir, we’ve opted for a smoothie style here, blending in a little creamy avocado and electrolyte-rich coconut water for a smooth and silky, nutritious base. A handful of fresh spinach injects a boost of color along with iron, vitamins, and minerals. A splash of lime lifts with bright, citrusy notes, and just one single, plump Medjool date lends just the right amount of whole-food sweetness. Simple to make, it’s fun to dress up. Add garnishes for cocktail flair, or serve up simply–just allow yourself some space to linger over each restorative, tasty sip.
