Description

Hydrating post-op drink with chia, pumpkin seeds, ginger & lemon. Gentle on digestion and hormone-supportive.


Ingredients

  • 1 tbsp raw pumpkin seeds (lightly crushed or ground)
  • 1 tsp chia seeds (soaked beforehand for 15 minutes)
  • 1 tsp freshly grated ginger (or ¼ tsp ground)
  • 1 tsp fresh lemon juice (not bottled)
  • 1 pinch Ceylon cinnamon (optional for blood sugar support)
  • 250 ml warm water (filtered preferred)

Instructions

  1. Soak the Chia Seeds: In a small bowl, soak the chia seeds in 2 tbsp water for at least 10–15 minutes until gel forms.
  2. Crush the Pumpkin Seeds: Lightly crush or grind the pumpkin seeds using a spice grinder or mortar and pestle.
  3. Combine Ingredients: Add soaked chia, ground pumpkin seeds, lemon juice, and ginger into your cup.
  4. Add Water: Pour 250 ml warm (not boiling) water over the mix.
  5. Stir and Infuse: Stir gently. Let sit for 3 minutes to infuse.
  6. Optional Flavor: Add a pinch of cinnamon and stir again before sipping slowly.

Notes

  • Use only Ceylon cinnamon for safer long-term use.
  • Always check with your dietitian if in early post-op stages before adding citrus or ginger.
