Serves: 1 Shot
Prep time: 2 minutes
Ingredients
- 50ml Kerry Kefir
- Juice 1/2 Lemon
- 1/2 tsp freshly grated ginger (or a pinch of ground)
- 1/4 tsp turmeric powder (or freshly grated turmeric)
- Pinch of black pepper (enhances turmeric absorption)
- 1/2 tsp raw honey or maple syrup (optional, to taste)
- Optional: a dash of cinnamon or cayenne for extra kick
Why It Works:
- Kefir adds gut-friendly bacteria and yeast, and a creamy texture that balances the sharpness of lemon and ginger.
- Lemon stimulates digestion and supports liver function.
- Turmeric + black pepper offer anti-inflammatory and antioxidant benefits.
- Ginger boosts circulation and eases the digestive system.
- Honey adds a touch of sweetness while also soothing the throat and supporting immunity.
Method
- In a small glass or blender, mix all ingredients until smooth and well combined.
- Taste and adjust sweetness or spice to your liking.
- Drink fresh, ideally on an empty stomach in the morning.
