As much as I love cozy winter recipes, I also can’t get enough of refreshing drinks & foods all throughout the year.
In fact, I start off most of my mornings with a nice big cold smoothie. (Yes, even in December.) I’ll be headed off to Mexico on holiday next week which I’m so excited about, so I wanted to create a recipe with some tropical vibes to celebrate.
These detox dragonfruit chia cups are a refreshing little treat you can enjoy all year round. They can be enjoyed as a breakfast, snack, or even dessert!
Lately, every health and nutrition article I read is all about fermented foods, and how awesome they are for you. So when Genuine Health reached out to me about their fermented superfoods I jumped at the opportunity to see what the fuss on fermentation was all about!
I used the Genuine Health fermented whole body nutrition with greens+ in the chia base of this recipe. What I particularly love about this product is the fermentation process it goes through, which helps the body absorb amino acids in protein sources, and helps the body break down proteins making them more easily digestible. Overall, it helps your body be able to absorb more nutrients in the food you eat.
This product from Genuine health is all natural, non-GMO, and gluten-free. (which means it gets the stamp of approval in my books!)
