DIY Sun & Berry Mocktail (Safe in Pregnancy & Beyond)

August 6 is National Root Beer Float Day. If you’re navigating pregnancy, breastfeeding, or postpartum healing, you might want something that’s just as fun but a little more nourishing.

Enter: The Sun & Berry Mocktail

It’s fizzy, fruity, and full of nutrients. Think of it as a celebration in a glass, without the sugar crash.

Why This Mocktail Works for Moms

• No caffeine or artificial sweeteners

• Loaded with antioxidants from fresh berries

• Gut-loving fizz from optional sparkling water or kombucha

• Hydrating and easy to digest

• Beautifully supportive in pregnancy, postpartum, or anytime you just need a reset

Ingredients:

• 1/2 cup organic mixed berries (fresh or frozen)
