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.
