HOMEMADE TURMERIC SHOT
These days, ginger and immune shots are all the rage. More and more people recognize them for their antioxidant benefits and Immune boosting properties, which is awesome.
Turmeric plays a very special role in heart health because it has the highest levels of antioxidants of any food out there and since heart disease is always associated with high levels of inflammation, a heart-healthy diet needs antioxidants!
I’ve been enjoying one first thing in the morning over the last while.
In my home made shot we’ll use Turmeric since it is also a great anti-inflammatory and I find it tastes a little better than ginger, not as harsh.
This is also a great way for me to get in an 🍊a day. I find oranges yummy but way too annoying to peel 😁 It’s messy and then I usually obsess about removing all the little white stuff from the flesh. Bottom line is it takes way too long – in this recipe I just roughy peel one, chug it in the blender and I’m done.
Lastly, Apple cider vinegar which helps the body kill pathogens including bacteria and also balances blood sugar. And some fresh, cracked black pepper to enhance the bio availability of the turmeric.
Here goes it:
1 orange, roughly peeled
a teaspoon/inch of raw turmeric
a teaspoon apple cider vinegar
2 tablespoons of water
some freshly cracked black pepper
Blend it all in a high speed blender, pour, enjoy!This recipe is also great as meal prep - prepare several portions on Sundays and enjoy them throughout the week!
