Why buy a processed syrup laden energy drink when you can make the world’s healthiest energy drink in just a couple of minutes?
All you really need to include in an energy drink is something sweet and something salty to replace missing electrolytes. If you are feeling out of balance after a tough workout this is a good drink to replace those electrolytes. We are talking healthy on this blog so of course we’re going to use unprocessed healthy ingredients and give this energy drink a natural kick to really boost your energy today.
Today, I have a cold so I whipped up this drink really quickly and it gave me the energy ready to get my kids fed and dressed before I had chance to get my own breakfast. Now a couple of hours later I actually feel like my cold has lifted quite a lot.

What are the ingredients in the World’s Healthiest Energy Drink?
- This drink contains filtered water, and for an added boost you could replace the water with green tea. For more health benefits and electrolytes, use coconut water instead of filtered water.
- For natural sugar and to make this energy drink taste amazing, I have included the juice from an orange, lemon and a lime.
- The honey/ maple syrup provides the sweetness, the sea salt provides the salt.
All other ingredients are optional but highly recommended. They include:
- There is a bit of coconut oil to balance your blood sugar levels.
- Vanilla and nutmeg for amazing taste
- Raw Apple Cider vinegar for raw enzymes and gut-friendly bacteria that promote healing
- Essential Oils: Yes for an added boost, I included Orange, Lemon, Lime and Mint Essential Oils from Young Living. These help to detox you, energise you and lift your spirits. I only recommend Young Living essential oils as I know they are pure and food grade. Please don’t use any other brand as they may not be pure and may cause you harm.

Get results like this...Hi Katherine,
I just wanted to tell you I completed the 7 day detox and I feel so great.
I have lost 6lbs, do not feel like I need more my morning coffee, the flushing of my facial skin from rosacea has dramatically reduced and I am so excited to wake up each morning and make a green thickie for breakfast!!
I am a stay at-home, homeschooling momma of 3 littles and at times so busy I would forget to feed myself!
I would go most of the day without eating and then snack on random things.
I gained 60 pounds the last 6 years during pregnancy.
I have lost 30lbs but recently plateaued and have felt so frustrated.
I’ve tried everything from paleo and keto to the point where I didn’t know what to eat or how much and felt like even eating fruit was bad for me which thankfully it’s not!
What a game changer for me. Thank you for sharing a simple but effective program.
I’m so excited to continue another week with this plan! Thankful Stephanie

Hi, I’m Katherine. I lost 56 pounds and recovered from Chronic Fatigue Syndrome by replacing meals with Green Thickies – my original smoothie concept.

I’ll def give it a try. The so called caffeine boost is wrong on many levels.
Julie Borcherding says
Essential oils should not be taken internally. They are VERY concentrated and can cause organ damage.
vicki says
sorry, but adding the essential oils to these drinks is not safe. They are highly concentrated and no one really knows what the future will bring for those that are ingesting eo’s.
Example ~ one drop of lemon eo is = to 1 pound of lemons.
Stick with the juice of the fruits instead. Better safe than sorry.

This recipe is the most refreshing and delicious energy drink I’ve ever tried. And it gave me so much energy.
