Energy drink
Energy drinks are a great "pick me up" in the afternoon during a long day or a fantastic meal replacement for those on a diet. Making them at home is easy and fast. Depending on your mood, you can make a protein-based energy drink that tastes virtually like a milkshake, or go green and make a vegetable-based energy drink. Add this to my Recipe Box.
Instructions
Make an Energy Drink
1. Decide whether you want to make a vegetable-based energy drink or a milk-based one and gather your ingredients and a measuring spoon. Your key ingredients can be found at a health food store.
2. Create the base for your shake. Place a handful of ice cubes in your blender, together with 10 drops of liquid ginseng and one tablespoon of bee pollen. Ginseng and bee pollen are proven energy boosters that are readily absorbed into your bloodstream if taken in liquid form.
3. Make your milk-based energy drink by adding a cup of milk or soy milk to the bee pollen and ginseng.
4. Pour one single-serving packet of whey protein drink mix and blend on high for one minute. Pour out the blended mixture into a cup and add small amounts of honey to taste.
5. Make a vegetable-based energy shake in a similar way. Place a handful of ice cubes in your blender, together with 10 drops of liquid ginseng and one tablespoon of bee pollen.
6. Add two celery stalks and one bunch of wheat grass to the blender, then blend on high for one minute.
7. Toss in a small chunk of fresh ginger to spice up the taste, and add a touch of honey to sweeten it. The bee pollen and ginseng in each of the energy drinks serve as natural energy enhancers. Take either drink with a B-complex vitamin tablet to get the maximum benefit from them. B vitamins are well-known for their energizing effect on the body.
