WE MADE IT! Day 5, the FINAL DAY of choosing healthier drinks over carbonated drinks And obviously, we couldn’t end this series with something boring. Meet my Purple Rush made with RED CABBAGE. Yes… cabbage in a drink. 😂 What you’ll need: chopped red cabbage Red grapes cucumber piece of ginger (about 2–3 cm) Plenty of ice Now before you judge the cabbage, let’s talk about what’s actually happening in this glass Red cabbage: That gorgeous purple colour comes from anthocyanins plant compounds with antioxidant properties that help protect our cells from oxidative stress. Red cabbage also gives us vitamin C and vitamin K. And if you blend it and keep the pulp, you’re also keeping more of its fibre, which supports normal digestion and gut health. Red grapes: Bring the natural sweetness, but they also contain antioxidant polyphenols, including anthocyanins. Grape polyphenols are also studied for their role in supporting heart and blood-vessel health. Cucumber: Mostly water, so it contributes to your hydration while making the drink lighter and more refreshing. Ginger: Gives us that spicy kick while providing gingerols and other compounds. Ginger is particularly well known for helping with nausea and may support digestive comfort. So you’re getting: Antioxidant-rich plant compounds Hydration Gut-supporting fibre if you keep the pulp Vitamin C Nutrients and plant compounds that support overall cardiovascular health And THAT is how we’re ending this series. 😭👏🏾 Five days. Five completely different drinks. And not one boring glass. Now I need to know… Which day are you trying first 1, 2, 3, 4 or 5? 👀 Save this recipe, and save the whole series for the next time you’re craving something cold and refreshing. #PurpleRush #HealthyDrinks #SodaAlternatives #HealthyEating #HealthySwaps
