Winter Wellness: More of What Fuels You, Less of What Drains You

As winter slowly transitions into spring, now is the perfect time to reset, recharge, and refocus on what truly fuels you. The colder months often bring energy crashes, stress, screen time overload, and cluttered routines, but small, intentional shifts in your daily habits can help you feel more energized, clear-minded, and balanced as you prepare for the new season. Prioritizing winter wellness allows you to embrace routines that support your body and mind, ensuring you enter spring feeling refreshed and renewed.

Instead of falling into patterns that drain your energy, embrace more of what supports your well-being and let go of what holds you back. Our guide will help you create simple, nourishing rituals that increase energy, support mindfulness, and reduce stress—so you can step into spring feeling your best.

1. More Energizing Mornings, Less Afternoon Burnout

Swap: Relying on coffee for a quick energy boost
For: A balanced morning drink with greens, adaptogens, and healthy fats

Your morning routine sets the tone for your entire day. Instead of jumping straight into caffeine, try a gentler, nutrient-dense start that supports long-lasting energy and focus.

How to Build an Energizing Morning Routine:

☀ Hydrate first: Start with a glass of water, lemon water, or herbal tea to wake up your system.
🥬 Fuel with greens: A morning greens drink provides essential vitamins, minerals, and antioxidants to support detoxification, energy, and gut health.
🚶‍♀️ Move your body early: Even a few minutes of stretching, yoga, or a quick walk can boost circulation and metabolism.
📵 Delay screen time: Instead of checking your phone first thing, take a few moments to breathe, journal, or set an intention for the day.

Energizing Greens Drink for Mornings

One of the easiest ways to increase energy naturally is with a greens-based morning drink. Bulletproof Greens Powder is packed with organic vegetables, probiotics, and digestive enzymes, making it a simple way to get nutrients first thing in the morning.

To make: Mix Bulletproof Greens Powder with cold water or coconut water for a refreshing, alkalizing start to your day.

💡 Why use the Elixir Mixer? Greens powders often settle at the bottom of your glass. The Elixir Mixer’s built-in whisk ensures smooth blending, making it easier to habit stack your morning greens drink into your routine.

2. More Playful Creativity, Less Rigid To-Do Lists

Swap: Overloaded schedules and productivity pressure
For: Space for creativity, play, and self-expression

When life gets busy, creativity is often the first thing to go. But play isn’t a luxury—it’s essential for mental clarity, emotional balance, and overall happiness.

How to Add More Play & Creativity to Your Day:

🎨 Try something creative, even for 10 minutes—journaling, painting, or music.
📚 Read fiction or poetry instead of scrolling social media.
🧘‍♀️ Incorporate movement-based creativity—dancing, mindful stretching, or walking in nature.
🌲 Get outdoors—nature is one of the best ways to reset your mind and spark creativity.

💡 Pro Tip: Creativity flows best when you're relaxed. Try sipping a greens latte or a matcha while journaling to ease into a playful mindset.

3. More Gratitude, Less Mindless Stress

Swap: Feeling overwhelmed
For: Intentional pauses to appreciate the present moment

Gratitude isn’t just a mindset—it’s a practice that rewires your brain for more joy and resilience. Studies show that regular gratitude habits reduce stress, improve mood, and increase overall well-being.

Simple Gratitude Rituals for Winter:

🌅 Morning gratitude check-in: Before starting your day, list 3 things you’re grateful for.
☕ Mindful sipping: When you make your morning drink, pause for a deep breath and savor the experience.
📖 Gratitude journaling: Write down a small moment from your day that brought joy.

💡 Pro Tip: Pairing gratitude with an existing habit, like sipping a morning drink, makes it easier to stay consistent.

4. More Deep, Restorative Sleep, Less Late-Night Anxiety

Swap: Doom-scrolling before bed
For: A relaxing nighttime wind-down routine

A good night’s sleep isn’t just about how many hours you get—it’s about how well you unwind before bed. Too much screen time, stress, or caffeine can make it harder to fall asleep, leading to grogginess and brain fog the next day.

How to Support Deep Sleep This Winter:

🌙 Reduce blue light exposure: Turn off screens at least 30 minutes before bed to support natural melatonin production.
🛁 Create a calming evening ritual: Take a warm bath, dim the lights, and sip a reishi mushroom latte to relax.
📖 Swap screen time for real downtime: Read a book, stretch, or listen to soothing music.

Bedtime Drink: Reishi + Warm Coconut Milk

Reishi mushrooms help the body relax and reduce stress, making them a great addition to an evening routine. Blend reishi powder with warm milk for a cozy, grounding drink before bed.

💡 Pro Tip: Use the Elixir Mixer to blend reishi powder into a frothy, smooth latte—making your nighttime wind-down routine effortless.

5. More Nature, Less Indoor Stagnation

Swap: Staying inside all day
For: Fresh air, movement, and connection to nature

Spending time outdoors—even in winter—reduces stress, boosts energy, and improves mood. Sunlight exposure also helps regulate your circadian rhythm, making it easier to wake up in the morning and sleep well at night.

Simple Ways to Get Outside This Winter:

❄️ Winter movement: Take a brisk walk, hike, or sled.
☀️ Get morning sunlight: Even 5-10 minutes of natural light helps set your body’s internal clock.
🌿 Bring nature indoors: Add houseplants or diffuse essential oils.

💡 Pro Tip: A silent nature walk with your greens drink in hand can be a powerful way to start your day with clarity and focus.

The Elixir Mixer: Your Go-To Tool for Functional Drinks
