APPLE GINGER DIGESTIVE TONIC

Apple Ginger Digestive Tonic is a refreshing, immune-boosting beverage that promotes digestion and gut health with a harmonious blend of apple, ginger and lemon. Green apples provide natural sweetness while being high in fibre and pectin, which help support digestion. Freshly grated ginger is known for its powerful anti-inflammatory properties, aiding digestion, reducing bloating and soothing nausea. The addition of lemon juice enhances detoxification, boosts vitamin C levels and provides a subtle tang that balances the natural sweetness of the apple. This light, invigorating tonic is perfect as a morning cleanser, a post-meal digestive aid or a mid-day refresher. Its minimal ingredients and quick preparation make it an effortless way to enjoy a nutrient-rich beverage without any added sugar or artificial ingredients. Whether enjoyed chilled over ice or warm as a soothing elixir, this tonic is an excellent addition to any wellness routine.

TIPS

Here are some helpful tips for you when making this apple ginger digestive tonic.

  • Use Cold Ingredients: Chilling the apple and water before blending makes the tonic extra refreshing.

  • Make It A Warm Elixir: Serve warm by heating the water before blending and omitting ice.
  • Boost Detoxification: Add a pinch of cayenne pepper for an extra metabolism kick.
  • Increase Hydration: Replace water with coconut water for a mild sweetness and add electrolytes.
  • Improve Absorption: Consuming ginger with lemon enhances its absorption and effectiveness in the body.

VARIATIONS

  • Turmeric Ginger Tonic: Add a pinch of ground turmeric for anti-inflammatory benefits and a golden hue.
  • Cucumber Apple Refresher: Blend in a few slices of cucumber for extra hydration and a cooling effect.
  • Spiced Digestive Drink: A dash of cinnamon enhances flavour, supports digestion and balances blood sugar levels.
  • Berry Detox Tonic: Mix in a handful of fresh or frozen berries for an antioxidant boost and a vibrant colour.
  • Green Apple Super Tonic: Add a handful of spinach or kale for extra vitamins and minerals.
  • Honey Lemon Elixir: Stir in a teaspoon of raw honey to soothe the throat and add natural antibacterial benefits.

PREPPING AND STORAGE

  • Refrigeration: Store in an airtight glass jar in the fridge for up to 24 hours. Shake before drinking, as natural separation may occur.

  • Batch Prep: Prepare a larger quantity and store it in sealed bottles for quick, easy hydration throughout the week.
  • On-The-Go Tip: If preparing ahead, store in a vacuum-sealed bottle to maintain freshness and prevent oxidation.
