Dietitian Notes
This is your secret weapon for fall potlucks and heavy meals! Not only is this refreshing, it’s also low in sugar (if using minimal honey) and can help ease digestive issues, especially after eating rich food.
Ginger is well known for its anti-inflammatory and stomach-soothing properties, while lime adds an extra boost of antioxidants with its Vitamin C that contributes to a strong immune system (which we all need at big gatherings!). Daily Elements rounds out this mocktail with an extra dose of phytonutrients from microgreens, making it a functional drink that’s good for you in more ways than one.
