Bee Active! Patty, nutritionist with Purdue University Extension, shows us how to make a healthy drink that’s good for hydration and health or sports/fitness. We met her on a bike trail in Indianapolis where she showed us how she makes this hydrating fizzy drink with bee pollen and ginger for health! We find that it’s not only good to rehydrate but also helps with stomach issues.

See recipe below and enjoy this fun video on how to make the “Bee Active” drink.

Bee Active Drink

Ingredients
1/2 cup apple cider
1/2 cup kombuch
Pinch of salt
Pinch of bee pollen
Slice of ginger, minced or pressed
2 cups water
Instructions

Add the ingredients to a mason jar or drink container of your choice. We like to press the ginger in a garlic press and then mince up what’s left in the press. Then refrigerate!

Even better: Save time by preparing 5 drink containers for the week!

I went looking for apple cider for the "Bee Active Drink" only to find that most stores don't have it. Is apple cider necessary? Can either apple juice or apple cider vinegar be substituted for apple cider? Really want to know as I am looking for an energy drink that will also quench my thirst.

Thank you Mary!
Happy Holidays to you and your family!
I have also tried cranberry juice, it turned out delicious!
Have a wonderful day!
