Quick Homemade Laxative: Prune Orange Juice with Chia Seeds
Learn how to make a quick homemade laxative to relieve constipation naturally and support a healthy digestive system.
Ingredients
- 16 oz Pitted Prunes
- Hot Water, for soaking prunes
- 5 cups Coconut Water, can sub for filtered water
- 3 cups Fresh Orange Juice
- 1 thumb Ginger Root
- 4 Kiwis, peeled
- ½ Lemon, juice from
- 3 tbsp Chia Seeds
- ¾ cup Water, to soak chia seeds in
Instructions
Soak the Prunes:
- Place the dried prunes in a bowl and cover them with 2 cups of hot water. Let them soak for 30 minutes until softened.
Prepare the Chia Seeds:
- In a small bowl, combine chia seeds with water and let them sit until gel-like. Set aside.
Blend the Juice:
- Drain the soaked prunes then add to a blender. Add the orange juice, lemon juice, ginger, kiwis, and coconut water. Blend until smooth.
Stir in Chia Seeds:
- Pour the juice into a pitcher and gently stir in the soaked chia seeds. This recipe filled TWO 34oz pitchers with a bit leftover, so I divided the juice and chia seeds between the two pitchers.
Serve and Enjoy:
- Drink immediately or refrigerate for up to 4 days. Stir well before serving if stored to avoid the chia seeds clumping together.
