Hydration is Key 💧

"Drink water consistently throughout the day, not just when thirsty. Proper hydration supports digestion, skin health, and energy levels." Add sliced lemon or lime which also supports digestion and makes water that little bit more interesting.

Going into the weekend feeling good with good ingredients and chia Jam (recipe below) oh and Teas

Honey 🍯- www.beezneezapiary.co.uk

RECIPE - Chia Jam
A great alternative to jam, the only sugar is from the honey. Only 4 ingredients and takes 10 minutes to make and lasts for a week in the fridge. Chia seeds are a great source of fibre and protein, honey is full of antioxidant and antimicrobial properties.

Ingredients
4 tablespoons of raspberries ( I use frozen)
4 tablespoons of chia seeds
1 tablespoons of honey ( add a little more if required)
To make this recipe vegan, replace the honey with maple syrup.

Method
Pop the raspberries and honey in a pan and cook until soft.
One soft mash the raspberries with a fork
Add the chia seeds and stir until they are thoroughly mixed.
Remove from the heat and leave to cool. The chia seeds will absorb the liquid, and it will set like jam.

Pop into a jam jar or lidded container and refrigerate.
