Sherry says I’m Chinese now
My lazy girl congee and morning tea 😊
Starting my day with a comforting bowl of lazy girl congee paired with morning tea has transformed my wellness routine in the gentlest way. The congee base, made from easily digestible cream of rice and bone broth, provides warmth and nourishment without feeling heavy. Adding fresh mushrooms, spinach, and kimchi brings a delightful mix of textures and flavors, along with probiotics and antioxidants that support digestion and immunity. Accompanying this is a selection of traditional teas — green tea for a clean caffeine boost, dandelion tea to aid liver detoxification, and a soothing blend of goji berries, Asian pear, and lemon. These teas not only hydrate but also align with principles of Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM) by balancing internal energies and promoting overall vitality. What I love about this routine is how effortlessly it incorporates nutritious, gluten-free ingredients into everyday life, making it accessible yet deeply connected to healing traditions. This morning habit has helped me feel energized and centered, a perfect example of how thoughtful food and drink choices nurture both body and mind. If you’re exploring ways to bring more holistic health practices into your daily life, starting with a bowl of congee and a warm cup of tea might just be the perfect step forward.
