Ginger Nuts like Grandma made, Spicy Curries like my Gujarati friend makes, and Golden Milk or Honey & Ginger Tea are all my absolute favourites and the first foods that came to mind when I saw @qurators theme of:
Ginger root or rhizome is used as a spice in cooking and in natural medicine as it has many wonderful health benefits, and I will mention a couple:
- Stimulates the digestive system and reduces nausea.
- Reduces inflammation as it is a natural antibacterial and a powerful anti-inflammatory.
- Lowers blood pressure.
- Eases Menstrual cramps.
- Regulates blood sugar levels.
- Improves Cholesterol levels.
These are just some of the health benefits; ginger of course is used in the kitchen to add a kick to many dishes, and that's what we're talking about today!
Summer's been slow in starting here, but suddenly it's waved a big Hello and it's been really hot!
Ginger Nuts would mean a hot oven and that certainly is not what is needed today; neither would a spicy curry, nor any hot ginger drinks like Golden Milk or Ginger & Honey tea!
A delicious and super refreshing Watermelon & Ginger Smoothie requiring only 4 ingredients, however would be more than welcome!
Smoothie Ingredients
- Ginger slices
- Watermelon, cut into chunks
- Cucumber, peeled and cut into chunks
- Mint leaves
- Crushed Ice
Place all ingredients into blender and blend till smooth.
Superlicious and super-cooling Watermelon & Ginger Smoothie
