“Sip, Chill, Repeat 🧃 + Your Free Recipe Gift Inside”
Bonjour mon ami!
It’s Saturday again, and today, we’re raising our cups (and recycled juice bottles) to the drinks that shaped our childhoods and still slap on a hot day. You know the ones; Zobo that stains your tongue, Kunu that cools your soul, and Fura that fills you like a whole plate of rice.
We’re talking about homemade Naija drinks, the kind you can whip up with what’s already in your kitchen. No artificial anything. Just real ingredients, sweet memories, and health benefits we didn’t even know we were getting as kids.
And because we love you (for real), there’s a little freebie at the end, a printable recipe pdf you can hang on your fridge or forward to your cousin who always asks, “how do you make that again?”
That Red Red Goodness – Zobo:
Listen, Zobo is not just a drink, it’s an experience. That hibiscus-ginger combo with pineapple peel? Instant reset.
Good for:
– Fighting flu with that Vitamin C power
– Helping your BP chill small
– Aiding digestion (especially when you chop too much)
– Detoxing gently
👉 How to Make Zobo - Fun fact: Some of us still reuse the same bottle from 2012. It hits differently.
Northern Love in a Cup - Kunu
Thick, creamy, and always soothing. Whether it’s millet or tiger nut, this drink knows how to hold you.
Why we stan:
– Fills you up
– Full of iron and fiber
– Helps nursing mamas
– Calms your belly
👉 Make Kunu Here - Best served cold — with leg on the chair and fan blowing you gently.
Creamy Without the Cow – Soya Milk
No preservatives. No side eye from lactose. Just soybeans, water, and a bit of love (or vanilla, if you're fancy).
Body go thank you for:
– Protein for days
– Strong bones
– Happy heart
– No bloating
👉 DIY Soya Milk - Also pairs well with akara. We don talk our own.
The “Anything You Have” Blend – Fruit Smoothies
Open your fridge. Pick fruits. Add ice. Blend. No need for overthinking.
Perks:
– Keeps skin glowing
– Boosts immune system
– Gives energy
– Makes you feel like you have your life together
👉 Easy Smoothies - Add ginger if you want to feel like a wellness influencer.
That Fit-Fam Reset – Lemon-Ginger Water
Simple. Sharp. Straight to the point. Great for mornings when your belly is misbehaving.
Why it works:
– Boosts metabolism
– Flattens tummy (as promised)
– Fights bloating
– Gives skin that “you’re glowing” compliment
👉 How to Make It - Warning: You may start your day feeling like a whole rich auntie.
💥 Bonus Drink: Soursop Juice
Yes, we’re talking about that soft, spiky fruit that feels like custard and tastes like luxury. People are blending it with coconut water, lime, or just vibes, and it’s giving home spa meets mama’s backyard.
👉 Here’s the soursop juice recipe
