5 Healthy Nigerian Drinks You Must Not Neglect

Not only are these local Nigerian drinks healthy, but also easy to make. Most of their ingredients can easily be found around, and they require no preservatives whatsoever.

Zobo

Zobo, mostly common in the northern part of the country,  is said to be rich in Vitamin C, calcium, iron, and fiber, all of which are healthy for the body.

To make this local Nigerian drink, all you need is dried zobo leaves (dried Rosella plant flower), pineapple, ginger, sugar (optional), and flavor(optional).

The dried rosella leaves are boiled alongside all the other ingredients and then sieved to get rid of the leaves, leaving you with the zobo drink.

Soya milk

Soya milk is made with soya beans, making this drink very nutritious. It is rich in calcium, sodium, and iron.  It is good for both children and adults.

Tiger nut milk

Tiger nut milk, also called Kunu Aya, is made with tiger nut and has a sweet, creamy, and nutty flavor. Not only is it tasty but healthy because it’s a plant source of dairy products, making it healthier than most animal dairy products.

Fura da nono

Fura da nono is like yogurt but with some tasty lumps. It’s a local Nigerian drink made with ground millet grains, fermented milk, and fura. Fura is obtained from fermented cow milk, which is what introduces lumps into the drink.

Fura da nono is rich in Vitamin B5, Vitamin B12, and phosphorus, which support certain physiological processes in the body.

Kunu

In addition to its rich taste nutritionists claim that kunu  is also rich in nutrients as it helps lower the risks of diabetes and reduces cholesterol levels while the fiber in it is good for the digestive system.
