My Morning Ritual

I am a firm believer in ‘you are what you eat’. I know if I have been eating junk food it shows on my skin. Therefore I always try to eat healthily. I am normally up before my fiancé in the mornings so I make myself this drink (My Morning Ritual) and have a few minutes of peace before anyone else is awake. Since drinking this drink in the morning I have noticed that my skin is clearer and I generally have more energy.

My Morning Ritual

• 2cm of ginger
• 2cm of turmeric root
• 2 lemons (juiced)
• 150ml water*

*the amount of water you put in can be adjusted to your taste buds as ‘My Morning Ritual’ can be quite tart.

Mix all of the ingredients in a blender and then viola – ‘My Morning Ritual’. I hope you enjoy this drink as much as I do.

The recipe I have provided gives enough for one drink and I often make enough of ‘My Morning Ritual’ to last a few days which I store in the fridge.
