As a mom of 3 kiddos under 4 years old, I have realized that I have to get creative with how I find rest throughout my day. Currently I am in a season where someone is always awake, meaning I don’t get that coveted nap-time break I used to. Elouise has given up her nap and switched to a “quiet rest time” on her bed, but most days Teddy is awake right during this afternoon lull. I recently discovered the CALM Raspberry Lemon drink from Natural Vitality and it has changed my afternoon vibes for the better.

I’ll be honest, I had seen a ton of friends using this product and I was always intrigued. When they reached to partner it was a no brainer to me. The ingredients in the drink are ones that I can get behind, no junk whatsoever. It’s even gluten free, vegan, and verified non-gmo. My worries were, like with most natural products, that either it wouldn’t work or it wouldn’t taste good. I am pleased to report that I loved both the flavor and the effectiveness of the product. There are a few different ways to take the drink but I just dissolved the powder into some warm water and filled it up the rest of my cup with cold water. It made it like a cold and refreshing raspberry lemonade, but better. It’s better because this drink is a magnesium supplement that helps to balance your calcium and magnesium levels. Here’s some super helpful information straight from their website:

“Magnesium helps your muscles and nerves function properly; it keeps your heart rhythm steady, supports a healthy immune system and also assists in keeping your bones strong. This essential mineral helps regulate blood sugar levels, promotes normal blood pressure and is required for producing and storing energy. It’s easy to see why many researchers say that no single dietary factor is as critical as magnesium.”

I even had my mom to try the drink when she was staying with us and having some trouble relaxing in the evening. The results just further proved to me that I got my hands on a great product. No wonder so many of my friends had rave reviews for Natural Vitality CALM drinks, and now I can say that I am another one of the believers! you can shop the drinks here.
