Notes
Nutrition For Mental Health Did you know that one orange is 86% water? It contains 1.3 grams of protein, 14.8 grams of carbs, and 0.2 grams of fat. Oranges are rich in antioxidants and vitamin C. They also contain smaller amounts of folate, calcium, and potassium. A double-blind, randomized, placebo-controlled trial including students found that vitamin C supplementation could improve anxiety.Storage Tips When making an orange spritz mocktail for a crowd, you can prepare the base sans sparkling water. It is best to add the sparkling water just before serving. If you keep the sparkling water separate, you can refrigerate the rest of the mocktail mixture for up to 2 days. Adding the sparkling water too far in advance of serving will result in a flat mocktail.
