Green Apple Ginger Spritz

Instructions

Muddle the base. In a sturdy glass or cocktail shaker, muddle the diced green apple and ginger. Add water, lime juice, and honey (if using). Optional: Let sit for five minutes to extract more flavor.
Strain & pour. Strain the mixture into two glasses, dividing evenly.
Mix in Daily Elements. Stir in the Daily Elements powder until well incorporated (half scoop per glass). Add ice.
Top with bubbles. Add the chilled sparkling water or club soda.
Garnish & serve. Garnish each glass with a slice of fresh green apple and lime. Enjoy immediately.

Notes & Variations

Extra zing: Add a splash of ginger ale or ginger beer instead of sparkling water for more kick.
Herbal twist: Muddle in a few mint leaves for added freshness.

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.
