If there is one flavor that I can never get enough of, it’s the spiciness of fresh ginger. It’s so refreshing, and feels like you are shocking your system in the best possible way. Ginger is so good for you, and is great for boosting your immune system. This fresh Ginger Juice recipe is packed with health benefits and tastes amazing.

Chia: On top of the ginger benefits, I also have chia seeds in this juice that contain a large amount of fiber and omega-3 fatty acids. They are also high in protein and several other essential minerals and antioxidants for an even bigger healthy kick to this juice recipe.

Common Questions
Eating/drinking ginger aids in healthy digestion, and can even help easing symptoms of an upset stomach or nausea.
Generally you shouldn’t consume more than 4 grams of ginger in a day, but it won’t cause damage if you do drink it every day.
The anti-inflammatory properties and antioxidant properties of ginger work well in melting down fat, reducing bloating, fixing constipation, and improving digestion.
No. The juicer works to extract the juice from the pulp and skin and ads a level of bitter taste that is great for the overall flavor of the ginger juice. However, if you are making ginger juice in a blender, it’s recommended you peel the ginger.

5 stars for the recipe but you write that ginger can melt belly fat and i’d really love to see a study quoted that supports thiss statement. i’d love for it to be true but it seems too good to be true
fantastico!!
Thank U for this most healthey recipe Maria. I give it to my childrens and my husband when feeling sick. I make it warm for them. it very helps
I tried this recipe because it was part of your latest email newsletter and I’m sure glad I attempted it! I didn’t think I would like it as much as I did but now I’m addicted to fresh ginger drinks. Thanks Maria!
the idea of pepper in this drink was too weird for me but you know what, i put it in there anyway and it was OK
I might not do the pepper everytime because I like sweeter things (so obvi I added extra maple syrup too)
my version turned out like a spicy lemonade! I didn’t have a lot of ginger and decided to add some fresh lemon juice ( and a little extra syrup).
a daily drink for me
for all you mommas-to-be: i have been drinking a small glass of this during my first trimester and it has really helped my morning sickness!
give it a try! maybe start by diluting it with some water first
I changed the recipe a bit and added fresh apple juice and some cucumber juice. still very good and not as much ginger spice (I cant handle too much spicy)
hey maria, I found you on instagram and I wasn’t sure what to expect. but you really match my diet. I love ginger, I eat ginger so much, this is the best recipe I have found onine. I love the maple surup addition.
