Hello, my friends! I hope you all are doing your best to enjoy some time laying low at home and finding ways to stay productive during this difficult time. We have been doing surprisingly well over here- focusing on nesting for baby and enjoying the last few weeks Ryan and I have together as a family of two. I must admit though…earlier this week I started to sense that Ryan was getting (just a tad) irritable. I’m sure being home 24/7 with a 9-month pregnant and hormonal wife has absolutely nothing to do with that 😉. So, being the good wife that I am, I decided to whip him up a Ningxia Cocktail and we began calling it the “Quarantini”.
So, what exactly is Ningxia? Ningxia Red is a superfruit drink that provides natural energy support, promotes glowing skin, is a powerful antioxidant, supports healthy blood sugar levels, contributes to overall wellness, helps with mental clarity, replenishes key nutrients, supports cardiovascular health, and provides an immune boost. Not to mention, one serving of Ningxia Red has the antioxidant equivalent of 73 strawberries, 100 oranges, 10 pounds of spinach, 22 carrots, 34 onions, 59 heads of broccoli, 93 apples, 55 pounds of almonds, and 815 blueberries! INSANE, right?!
Typically, we drink Ningxia every single day just to support our overall health. But, when mixed with a little bit of alcohol, it becomes the perfect Quarantine treat! With that being said, in efforts to stay sane and have some fun while we’re all at home practicing Social Distancing, I have sourced some of the most-loved Ningxia Cocktail Recipes that you can try at home this weekend!
Oh, and don’t worry…I included a Mocktail Recipe as well for all you fellow pregnant mamas out there!
