This gut-friendly Snow Dragon latte is one of my favourite beverages. Peppermint and green tea are perfect for aiding digestion, lowering inflammation and providing a little mental pick-me-up.
Peppermint is one of my favourite herbs!
It helps aid digestion and contributes to a healthy gut, which helps with less bloating, better energy, and clear skin. It’s even proven to be as effective as over-the-counter pain meds — goodbye headaches and sore muscles!
Green Tea
Green tea is both antioxidant and anti-inflammatory rich, which can help lower overall body inflammation and inflammation in the digestive tract. Gut inflammation can contribute to symptoms like bloating, digestive disturbance, acne and other inflammatory skin conditions, and contribute to brain fog.
Green tea’s unique form of caffeine acts as a mental stimulant rather than a physical one (like that found in the caffeine profile of other beverages like coffee). So if your looking for a brian boost rather than the jitters, green tea is your new bff!
