Most people
have had the experience of waking up early in the morning and wanting to do
nothing other than go right back to bed. As a result, most people tend drink
caffeinated beverages such as coffee or tea to give them a boost of energy.
Although
these drinks are commonly consumed around the world as a “wake-me-up”, there
are healthier and more efficient alternatives to these caffeinated beverages.
Digestion
Booster Shot
In order to
have a sufficient amount of energy throughout the day your body needs to be
able to properly digest the nutrients that it is given.
Having
problems with your digestive system could result in having low amounts of
energy throughout the day, among a variety of other problems caused by
indigestion.
Ingredients:
• ½ an
ounce of lemon juice (aids in digestion by improving metabolic function)
• ½ an
ounce of organic apple cider vinegar
• A pinch
of organic ground ginger
This shot
should keep your digestive system running smoothly all day. If you find that
the taste of this shot is too strong for you, mix it in with some water to make
it easier to swallow.
Metabolism
Booster Shot
Having a
healthy metabolism is necessary if you want to have an optimal amount of energy
throughout the day. Although your digestive system is important for breaking
down the nutrients that gives your body energy, your metabolism is responsible
for converting this nutrients into energy for your body to use.
Ingredients:
• ½ an
ounce of organic apple cider vinegar
• ½ an
ounce of lemon juice
• A pinch
of cayenne pepper (increases your metabolism through
thermogenesis- heating up
your body)
We already
know the benefits of lemon juice and apple cider vinegar, and that extra pinch
of cayenne pepper helps boost your metabolism and also helps to prevent weight
gain.
Green
Smoothie Shot
Protein is
an essential nutrient when it comes to keeping your energy levels high. This
Green Smoothie Shot contains 10 grams of protein, vitamin C and B and lots of
potassium.
Ingredients:
• ¼ of
frozen organic blueberries
• 1 slice
of ginger
• 2 cups of
organic spinach
Optional:
Add some Stevia for sweetness.
In order to
make these shots, mix all of the ingredients together in a blender.
Add some
water to it if you want the shot to have a more liquid-like consistency.
You
can prepare these mixtures in large quantities and store them in your fridge.
The food
that you consume in the morning should always be the best quality possible, as
you are breaking an 8 or more hour-long fast, and it is important to start the
day off right. These health shots will ensure that you get all of the nutrients
you need in order to have a productive day with as much energy as possible.
