Pineapple, ginger & kefir tonic with basil chia pearls

Why it works for gut health

• Fermented kefir
• Anti-inflammatory ginger
• Polyphenol-rich basil
• Fibre from chia seeds

Ingredients 

• 200ml plain kefir (or coconut kefir)
• 100ml pineapple juice
• ½ tsp fresh grated ginger
• 1 tsp honey (optional)
• 1 tbsp chia seeds
• 4–5 torn basil leaves

Method

1. Mix the chia seeds with the pineapple juice and leave 10 minutes to thicken into “pearls.”
2. Stir kefir, ginger and honey together in a glass. Spoon in the basil-chia mixture so it creates layers and swirls. Garnish with extra basil.
