Cool, Crush, Sip: Turn Your Supplements Into Summer Refreshments

Let’s be honest, Aussie summer hits different. Hot days, late training sessions, beach hangs, and zero interest in choking down warm drinks.
Good news, your supplements don’t have to feel like a chore. With a little ice, fresh fruit, and a blender, they can become actual summer treats.

Here are four fun, easy recipes using some of our favourite staples, each one refreshing, functional, and very sip-worthy.

Greens Smoothie Pops

Primabolics Everyday Health – Paradise Fruits

Why this works:
Greens don’t have to be earthy and sad. Paradise Fruits is fruity, bright, and freezer-friendly.

You’ll need:

• 1 scoop Everyday Health (Paradise Fruits)

• Frozen mango

• Banana

• Coconut water

How to make it:
Blend everything smooth, pour into ice block moulds, freeze.

How to use:

• Or drop one into a glass and let it melt into an icy greens drink
  

Pre-Workout Slushie

Red Dragon Immortal Pump – Pineapple Juice flavour

Why this works:
Immortal Pump is caffeine-free, pump-focused, and already hydration-friendly. Pineapple Juice flavour is basically begging to be frozen.

You’ll need:

• 1 scoop Immortal Pump (Pineapple Juice)

• 1 cup frozen pineapple

• Juice of ½ lime

• Handful of ice

• Cold water or coconut water to blend

• You can add your daily serve of Creatine to this one!

How to make it:
Blend everything until thick and slushy. Add more ice if you want it spoon-thick.

Recovery Lemonade

Thorne Magnesium Bisglycinate (Unflavoured)

Why this works:
Unflavoured magnesium is surprisingly versatile. Think electrolyte lemonade, not supplement drink.

You’ll need:

• 1 serve Magnesium Bisglycinate

• Fresh lemon juice

• Honey or maple syrup to taste

• Ice

• Cold water or sparkling water

• You can add your daily serve of Creatine to this one!

How to make it:
Mix magnesium with lemon juice and sweetener first, then add water and ice.

When to sip:
Post-training, post-beach, or anytime your muscles feel tight.

Night-Time Mocktail

Zombie Labs Blackoutz – Mango Passionfruit

Why this works:
This flavour is tropical, calming, and perfect for a wind-down ritual that feels indulgent but supports sleep.

You’ll need:

• 1 serve Blackoutz (Mango Passionfruit)

• Cold water or chilled chamomile tea

• Ice cubes

• Fresh mint (optional)

• Slice of orange or passionfruit
  

How to make it:
Shake or stir Blackoutz with cold liquid, pour over ice, garnish, and sip slowly. 

Pro tip:
Drink it outside as the sun goes down. Pavlovian sleep cues are powerful.
