Recess Mood Magnesium & Adaptogen Drink, Calming Relaxation Beverage, 12 Ounce (Raspberry Lemon, 12 Pack)

El precio muy alto, aunque muy sabrosa

To keep this review brief, let me just say that I am on the spectrum and recently have noticed an uptick in meltdowns and shutdowns. This time of year is generally hard for me, mentally and emotionally, so that is not surprising in and of itself. But Recess Mood drinks are like a mental shift canned just for me. *The powder does not work as well for this purpose. That is better for the "restless legs" I can experience at night sometimes, especially if I have not intensely worked out recently.* Regardless, the canned Recess Mood drinks not only a) make me feel like someone put a cloud over my head, dulling aggressive "rumblings" or in-the-loop logic that is unhelpful, b) relax my body only just enough to make my shoulders not feel as tense, c) actually turn down the dial on my anger if I am upset about something, but d) truly can make the difference between me having a good day/night/whatever or an absolutely AWFUL one. I did read online that magnesium l-threonate is particularly good for autistic individuals so that could be one reason I personally find this so effective. I take many different herbs for many different things (I eschew actual medicine whenever possible) and the combination of magnesium, B6, and adaptogens in these canned drinks are a true winner for me. I just wish that they were not so expensive because, at this time of year, I basically need to drink one every day. And if anyone cares: I particularly like the Strawberry Rose (extra relaxing due to the rose!) and the Peach Ginger flavors. The Lime Citrus is a hit or miss with the good cans tasting rather like Sprite (which I don't drink anymore) and the not as good cans being kind of blah. The other flavors are fine but I generally try to buy the three that I listed, if given the option and the price is right.

Recess Mood is one of those drinks that’s easy to reach for when you need a breather. It’s a sparkling drink infused with magnesium and adaptogens, like ashwagandha and lemon balm, to help you relax without feeling drowsy. If you’re not familiar, magnesium is great for calming the nerves, and adaptogens are natural herbs that help your body handle stress - and it works for me! The flavors are light and refreshing—think sparkling water with a twist of something extra (no overly sweet aftertaste). It’s not loaded with sugar or artificial stuff, which is a win if you’re aiming to keep it clean.

Lovely taste. Pleasant experience.

I have been limiting my alcohol since last March. I’ve tried several different nonalcoholic beverages since, and have purchased Recess beverages over and over again. The taste is not sweet like soda nor really reminiscent of any alcohol drink. It has a distinctive taste which I enjoy! I have been a regular customer since first trying Recess. I also occasionally drink the flavors which are similar to Margaritas, Cosmos, etc. These are also a fun alternative to alcoholic beverages.
