Shot as a morning ritual: Jamie Oliver’s energy recipe

Would you like a delicious shot to start the day? New year, new energy! I have the perfect Jamie Oliver recipe to start your day: He calls it Kickstarter, it’s a kind of shot or tea – a real power recipe for you. A little ritual that transforms simple water into a real stimulant – and tastes really good at the same time. This recipe is typical Jamie: simple, well thought out and full of good ingredients. Perfect for the beginning of the year when we want to do something good for our bodies without turning everything upside down. By the way, I’ve already convinced my neighbor of this. Just caught with a bad cold, the Kickstarter will help you get back on your feet! It’s clear or: definitely try it out!

Why I love this Kickstarter or Shot!

I’ll be honest: I need something to cheer me up in the morning wakes you upwithout being the first cup of coffee. This shot is exactly that and it’s not ice cold, but nice and hot! Both the temperature and its effect. It warms you from the inside, gets your circulation going and feels like a little reset button for the body. And the best part? You prepare everything once prepare, freeze the mixture and then have your healthy morning boost ready for days. No stress, no cutting at 6 a.m. – just take out the ice cubes, add hot water, add some honey and you’re done! And yes: Even on hectic days with little time, this works without any problems. This is exactly mine! By the way, the recipe comes from Jamie Oliver’s current book “Eat yourself healthy” * published by DK-Verlag. I have already introduced you to the book with a recipe for peanut chicken.

The ingredients – the glorious 7

What seems inconspicuous at first glance is actually real Nutrient package:

• mint brings freshness and makes the shot pleasantly light
• Fresh ginger provides sharpness and warmth
• Cayenne pepper, turmeric & cinnamon are true power spices – rich in iron and perfect for metabolism and energy
• Apple cider vinegar gives that little extra kick
• lemon provides freshness and vitamin C

Optionally you can come with liquid honey sweet – well I have to admit, I need a little honey, it makes the whole thing really tasty!

Meal Prep deluxe: It’s that easy!

The principle is brilliantly simple:

1. Pluck mint leaves into an ice cube tray.
2. Peel the ginger, grate it finely and mix with spices, apple cider vinegar and lemon juice.
3. Pour everything into the ice cube tray, add water and freeze.

To serve you take one large or three regular ice cubesDepending on what shape you have. For me, the recipe made nine large ice cubes. You put them in a cup and pour them along boiling water on. Wait a moment, stir, sweeten with honey if desired – and enjoy!

Your personal morning Kickstarter is ready.

One shot – a small ritual with a big impact

I especially like that this shot is more than just a drink. He is a moment for me. Pause for a moment, drink something warm, and start your day consciously. This feels incredibly good, especially in winter or during stressful phases. And honestly: If something takes so little effort and feels so good, then it can become a habit.

Variations & Tips

• Do you like it milder? Use a little less cayenne pepper.
• Not an apple cider vinegar fan? Try it with more lemon juice, but it doesn’t taste good at all.
• For an extra feel-good factor: mix in a touch of vanilla.

So if you’re looking for a simple, healthy start to the day that’s really suitable for everyday use – try this one Jamie Oliver’s morning Kickstarter definitely out. I’m excited to see if you’re as excited about it as I am! By the way: Nutrient-rich ingredients such as cayenne pepper, turmeric and cinnamon are super rich in iron, which is important for metabolism, the formation of red blood cells and oxygen transport and prevents fatigue.

A small note, the ginger left me with some “ground” in the cup, you can filter it beforehand or simply pour it away. He always sets off straight away. You can also pour the mixture several times and continue to drink flavored water throughout the day.
