Drink a 100ml shot of this every morning, first thing when you wake up. Turmeric needs fat – in this case olive oil – to make it soluble (otherwise it just goes straight through you) and piperine (black pepper) to activate the beneficial properties of the curcumin.
INGREDIENTS
500ml cold water
50g fresh ginger root
25g fresh turmeric root, or 1 teaspoon ground turmeric
1 lemon, peeled, deseeded and chopped
1 orange, peeled, deseeded and chopped
1 tablespoon olive oil
1 tablespoon honey
½ teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
METHOD
Pour the water into the blender and add everything else on top.
Blitz for at least 2 minutes to ensure everything is thoroughly blended together.
Strain into a jug and decant into a bottle.
This drink will last for 5 days (5 shots) in the fridge.
