It’s definitely hot beverage season! A mug of Super Ginger Green Tea with Collagen with warm you up from the inside out while providing numerous other body benefits with every sip.
The trifecta of ginger juice, green tea and collagen in this recipe creates a simple but seriously good-for-you concoction that can help you recover from workouts . . . or just a busy day in general!
This hot ginger tea drink helps minimize inflammation and supports your joints, is good for a mood boost and over all brain function, is good for your digestion and gut health, and adds an additional 11g protein to your day.
There is basically no caffeine, so it’s ideal for a cozy, alcohol-free beverage before bed. And, if you’re having a hot flash . . .. or it’s the middle of summer, collagen ginger tea is yummy and refreshing served over ice.
Whipping up this ginger tea with collagen is easy-peasy, just steep a green tea bag into almost boiling hot water for about 3 minutes.
Then stir in 2-ounces of ginger juice, either homemade, pressed from gingerroot (see my homemade ginger juice instructions) or from a 100% ginger juice shot.
Then stir in 2 tablespoons of unflavored collagen powder, my go-to brand is Great Lakes Gelatin. I have the big tubs in my pantry and the single-sized sachets (as seen here in the video) are so perfect for travel.
I love that spicy profile of the ginger juice in this collagen tea drink so much! It’s lightly sweet, but sometimes I’ll add a few drops of a liquid stevia or monkfruit sweetener. A serving has 85 calories, with 9g net carb, 0g fat and 11g protein, and 150% of DV for calcium.
Stay warm this winter, my friends!
