Health benefits of Chia Ginger Lemonade

This lemonade is bursting with superfoods to help you have the most seamless pregnancy possible. I drank this so often to soothe my nausea and help digestion but my husband even loved it too! It’s perfect for the whole family.

Chia Seeds

• Chia seeds are packed with fibre to help keep your digestion running smoothly and regularly.
• They are high in anti-inflammatory omega-3 fats which are awesome for boosting energy.

Lemons

• Lemons have been used for centuries to aid feelings of nausea. Sometimes even just the smell of lemon is enough to help you feel better which is amazing for morning sickness.
• Lemons are also high in immune-boosting vitamin C, can aid in digestion and help reduce symptoms of heartburn.

Ginger

• Not only does ginger have serious anti-nausea properties, it also helps to boost circulation which means both mama and baby are getting adequate blood supply.
• Ginger also helps boost immunity, can control blood sugar levels to prevent gestational diabetes and helps your body absorb more nutrients – which means baby gets more too!

Chia Ginger Lemonade Recipe

(gluten-free, vegan, paleo)

Prep time: 1 minute | Chill time: 2 hours | Serves 4

Ingredients:

• 4 cups water
• 1 lemon, juiced
• 3 Tbsp chia seeds
• 1 Tbsp maple syrup
• ½ – 1 Tbsp fresh ginger, grated and peeled

Directions:

1. Place everything in a big mason jar and shake well.
2. Let sit for at least 2 hours for the chia seeds to gel.

NOTE: Sometimes ginger can be difficult to grate. I like to freeze my ginger and grate it with a citrus zester.

Nausea during the first trimester is very common. The technical term is morning sickness, but nausea can hit at any time of the day. For most people, it goes away after the first trimester is over but for others, it lasts for the entire pregnancy.
