Glow Ritual Coffee Shake
A soft, nervous system-friendly way to energize and glow
Looking for a morning ritual that energizes without the crash, supports your hormones, and tastes like something you’d crave on a slow Sunday morning?
This glow-boosting coffee shake is my favorite way to start the day feeling nourished, lit-from-within, and grounded. It's more than a recipe—it's a beauty ritual in a glass.
Why this coffee shake supports your skin, hormones, and energy
Unlike traditional lattes or sugary shakes that spike your blood sugar and stress response, this nervous system-friendly caffeine ritual is made with:
Glow-supporting whole foods
Skin-enhancing ingredients like cacao and creatine
Hormone-safe, gut-friendly fuel
This shake is rich, creamy, and adaptogen-powered. It's a slow beauty staple—and every ingredient earns its place.
Glow Ritual Coffee Shake Recipe
Ingredients:
2 soft dates (pitted)
1 tbsp cacao nibs
1 packet of Pitaya coconut sorbet (or frozen coconut cream cubes)
1 cup almond milk (unsweetened, clean-label)
½ cup brewed adaptogen coffee (I use Strong Coffee Co’s black blend)
Optional: 1 scoop of Thorne creatine
Optional: 1 scoop of Thorne glutamine
How to make this glow-boosting coffee shake
Add all ingredients to a high-speed blender.
Blend until silky, thick, and creamy.
Pour into your favorite glass. Sip slowly and intentionally.
Tip: Add 1–2 ice cubes if you want it cold and frothy.
Why I add creatine and glutamine (and you might want to)
Creatine: for skin glow and cellular energy
You may know creatine for its role in fitness, but it's also a secret weapon for beauty and brain function.
Hydrates skin cells and supports elasticity
May boost collagen production and reduce fine lines
Enhances mental clarity and energy

Glutamine: for gut health and skin clarity
Glutamine supports the gut-skin axis, which is essential for hormonal balance and glowing skin.
Strengthens gut lining and digestion
Reduces inflammation
Can ease sugar cravings and improve recovery during stress
Together, these two optional add-ins make this shake more than a morning boost—they turn it into a full-body beauty ritual.
A beauty-first coffee ritual (without the hormonal crash)
Most coffee drinks spike cortisol and leave your skin feeling dull or puffy. This shake works with your body, not against it.
It’s:
Hormone-safe
Gluten-free
Full of skin-supportive antioxidants from cacao, dates, and adaptogens
This is how I drink caffeine in a way that feels indulgent—but intelligent.
Shop the ritual
I've linked everything I use—my favorite adaptogen coffee, blender, clean sorbet, and wellness add-ins—on my Amazon storefront.
Final thoughts
Beauty isn’t just what you apply—it’s what you consume, how you begin your day, and how you care for your nervous system.
This glow ritual coffee shake is how I caffeinate softly, sweetly, and with intention. And once you try it, I think your body will feel the difference too.
