Lemony Turmeric Iced Yerba Mate
It’s National Iced Tea Day and this ain't your granny’s sweet tea! Chill out this summer with tall glass of Lemony Turmeric Iced Yerba Maté.
Turmeric, the bright yellow spice, has long been used as a powerful Eastern medicinal herb. It’s known to have excellent antioxidant and anti-inflammatory properties.
Amongst many other things, it can help with:
Weight management
Digestion
Cholesterol reduction
Immunity support
As if that weren’t enough, drinking Yerba Maté will not only help keep you alert with its high biocaffeine (that means natural) content, but it’s give green tea a run for the money when comes to nutritional properties. It’s what I drink daily.
Benefits include:
Enhanced ability to focus
Supports cardiovascular health
Weight control
Enhanced physical endurance

Detoxifies blood
High anti-aging antioxidants
