Boost Metabolism with Pineapple Ginger Cayenne Kombucha
Ever heard of “Kombucha” – sounds intriguing? Well, it is an energy giving drink. The energy and strength with just a few sips is unparalleled to any health drink you’ve ever tried. Kombucha is a probiotic filled beverage that fills your gut with healthy bacteria and everyone knows a healthy gut is the key to a healthy body. As they say “go with your gut” and a healthy gut is the core to good health.
Pineapple, ginger and cayenne come together in this delightful treat that teases your palate with a host of flavors. Add some chia seeds and you have texture as well! We call this “fat burning” because pineapple juice is a natural fat burner and metabolism booster, and cayenne does the same. Makes sense that, combining the two with a probiotic rich drink to enhance absorption, will be the ultimate natural fat burning drink. You add chia seeds because, chia seeds transform a drink into a meal, thanks to the added texture and fiber. The chia seeds soak in the kombucha giving a feel of drinking passion fruit juice with the seeds and stuff. We could go on about how good this combo is but we will give you the benefits and recipe instead.
For this recipe you can use store bought kombucha to make your own kombucha. The black seeds floating on top are chia seeds. The photo was shot without waiting for the seeds to soak in.
