Ginger Shots!

Early in the morning, your alarm clock is buzzing. You slowly open your eyes and the wake-up process starts. Do you need a boost in the morning to help the wake-up process?

Try a ginger shot in the morning. It’s easy, healthy and gives you that much needed boost in the morning. Because pure ginger juice is very sharp, I mix the ginger with other vegetables or fruits. The recipes below are my creations for ginger shots so far, maybe more will follow.

I use a slow juicer to make my juices, but it can also be done with a blender. If you use a blender add small amounts of warm water until you have a nice smooth substance.

Ginger shot light:

• 1 green apple
• 1 – 5 cm ginger root (to your own taste)
  

Ginger shot:

• 1 lemon
• 1-5 cm ginger root (to your own taste)

Sweet ginger shot:

• 3 carrots
• 1 orange
• 1-5 cm ginger root (to your own taste)
  

Ginger shot spicy:

• 1 bell pepper
• 1-5 cm ginger root (to your own taste)
• a piece of red pepper (to your own taste)

Just put all the ingredients into the slow juicer, pour the juice in a shot glass and Cheers!

Ginger is very healthy! The most important building materials of ginger are gingerol, shogaol and zingiberene. These substances have antioxidant properties that help protect your body against cardiovascular disease and cancer. If you often suffer from a bloated stomach, ginger can remedy it. Ginger also promotes blood circulation and helps to detoxify your body…..and it helps in case of a hangover. (I am not a nutritionist, I have collected all information about nutrients on the internet)
