Blackberries are a wonder for our wellbeing – even in a delicious drink like this! These juicy berries are bursting with vitamins and antioxidants to help you glow from the inside out. Antioxidants help to mop up damaging free radicals in our cells. These nutrients are one of the most powerful weapons we have in combatting disease, helping our bodies fight a range of illnesses, from heart disease to cancer

Plus, ginger is one of Liz’s absolute musts, especially during the chillier months. Along with comforting warming flavours, ginger is also high in gingerol – a substance that is known to have anti-inflammatory and antioxidant properties. This means that ginger may be helpful for staving off symptoms of a cold. Perfect at this time of year!

Ginger has a long tradition of being used to soothe the digestive system and relieve stomach pain. It’s also anecdotally been used to alleviate mild nausea.
