Frozen Sour Grapes That Balance Stress, Boost Energy and Hydrate Amazingly
These taste like sour candy—BUT they support your adrenals & digestion, can ease PMS symptoms, and give you steady energy.
Here’s how to make them:
Ingredients
2 cups organic green grapes
Juice of 1 lemon
1 packet Orange Minerals & Chill (use code MUMWITHABUN for your first order)
½ tablespoon high-quality sea salt
Method
Wash grapes thoroughly with filtered water and pat dry.
Squeeze lemon juice over the grapes and toss gently.
Place Minerals & Chill electrolyte powder into a tablespoon.
Dip about half of each grape into the powder, coating it generously.
Place coated grapes into a freezer-safe glass container.
Dip any remaining grapes into sea salt for that crave-worthy tart-salty balance.
Freeze for 3 hours.
Enjoy cold!
Why This Snack Works (The Science)
Most frozen grape snacks use refined sugar. Sugar gives a fast rush but drains your energy, messes with blood sugar, and doesn’t actually hydrate you. This recipe works with your body, not against it—here’s how:
Lemon Juice
Provides natural vitamin C, which your adrenal glands need to make stress hormones properly. Low vitamin C = adrenal fatigue, mood swings, and sluggish energy.
Sea Salt
High-quality sea salt provides sodium, a key electrolyte that partners with potassium and vitamin C to drive hydration into your cells. It’s not “just salt”—it’s what helps your body actually absorb and use water.
Minerals & Chill Powder (from Live Healthillie)
This is the game changer. Unlike most electrolyte mixes, it’s whole-food-based, sweetened with a touch of monk fruit, and packed with:
Potassium – helps balance fluids & calm the nervous system
Vitamin C (from organic acerola & orange) – fuels adrenal health and can help with period pain
Trace minerals – support hormone production & energy pathways
Together, these (in science-backed ratios) restore what stress depletes:
minerals that help regulate cortisol, balance hormones, ease PMS symptoms/cramps, improve libido, support restful sleep, increase focus and boost mood.
Bottom Line
Frozen grapes don’t have to be a sugar bomb.
My version:
Hydrates deeply
Balances blood sugar
Supports stress response
Is kid-approved & mom-friendly
Make a batch, save it for busy afternoons, and your kids’ll devour them and ask for it (nature’s candy) instead of store-bought candy (artificial flavors/dyes).
What I Really Love About Minerals & Chill
(Beyond Hydration & Hormone Support)
—there’s so much more that makes Minerals & Chill stand out from the usual adrenal cocktail or electrolyte powders
1. Color Changes That Are A Really Good Thing
Yes, you read that right—the beautiful color shifts by batch happen because it’s actually made from real fruit. It’s not artificial dye masking anything. This just means what we’re getting is whole-food goodness, not lab-made experiments.
2. Ingredient Transparency—No “Natural Flavors” Loophole
Minerals & Chill doesn’t hide behind the vague term “natural flavors”—a phrase found in over 20% of packaged foods… this term can hide more than 100 different chemicals. And remember, “natural flavor” does not usually mean natural—the FDA allows this to = complex, proprietary blends without listing the actual sources or compounds. Other leading electrolyte powders often rely on “natural flavors,” while Minerals & Chill is transparent with each ingredient.
3. No Sketchy Fillers—Only Clean Ingredients
When I used to drink a top-selling electrolyte mix that allegedly “formulated with ingredients that work for you, not against you”, some of my clients and I got uncomfortable gut issues; over time, I realized something more was in the mix than the basic electrolytes & ingredients listed on the packaging. That’s the thing: many electrolyte brands include “dodgey ingredients” and emulsifiers—without listing it on the ingredients list — those can really irritate your system. Minerals & Chill skips all that. It’s clean, gut-friendly, and actually designed with our health in mind by Iliriana Balaj (@healthillie) who has been on her own health journey & mission to help people & families like ours function at our best.
4. The Clumps!
Yes, it clumps a little—and that’s a good thing. It means there are no emulsifiers (which are often added to make powders dissolve instantly but can disrupt gut health). If a product needs an emulsifier to work, I’m not convinced it belongs in the body. Minerals & Chill delivers minerals our bodies are often stripped of—with quality ingredients, not additives.
5. It Really Tastes Amazing
This tastes so good guys. Real, vibrant, and satisfying. No chemical aftertaste, no weird artificial sweetness. Just yummy flavor derived from fruit that your body can identify and benefit from.
TL;DR Minerals & Chill doesn’t just replenish—it restores.
Full color spectrum, full ingredient honesty, clean gut-safe profiles, and whole-food-based flavor. That’s why I reach for this over the rest—every single time.
If you’re ready for the perfect summer-y hydrating treat, it’s time..! Time to pass on the sugar-coated frozen grapes that spike blood sugar levels / leave you crashing. Enjoy these instead.
