Stay energized with this nutrient-packed chia-ginger refresher, loaded with vitamin C and other essential nutrients.<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n Are you coming down with a cold? It's well known that nutrition impacts our immune system\u00b9. Minerals and vitamins like zinc and vitamin C<\/strong> directly contribute to the body's immune response\u00b2'\u00b3.<\/p>\n\n\n\n This makes it especially important to get enough nutrients from natural foods during the fall and winter when flu viruses are more common. Today, I have a beverage recipe for you that will give your immune system a powerful boost<\/strong>: a chia-ginger energizer drink or shot! No blender<\/strong> is needed\u2014just a spoon will do. Plus, the ingredients are simple and easy to find.<\/p>\n\n\n Ginger.<\/strong> And water, of course. So, what's so special about those ingredients? Ginger has anti-inflammatory<\/strong> properties; limes contain loads of vitamin C<\/strong> and chia seeds are rich in minerals<\/strong> like zinc. Your body will thank you!<\/p>\n\n\n\n Usually, I prepare a large batch on the weekend<\/strong>, so that I have some in the fridge ready every day. I like to drink this chia-ginger energizer in the afternoon, when I need something fresh. The consistency of soaked chia seeds takes some getting used to but if you like chia pudding you should give it a go. And in case you are not a big ginger fan, simply reduce the amount of ginger to your liking.<\/p>\n\n\n<\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n
