Instructions
Step 1
Ginger is one of the main ingredients in a weight loss drink. The fresh root of this plant is used. Ginger root contains essential oils that help reduce body fat. Also, this component is rich in essential amino acids and B vitamins, which makes ginger an active fighter with excess weight.
Take a piece of ginger root, peel it and cut it into random pieces. You can grate the peeled root on a fine grater.
Step 2
Lemon is rich in vitamin C, essential oils and acids, which help to improve the functioning of the gastrointestinal tract, increase the absorption of nutrients, and reduce body fat. You will need a fruit with a thick, fleshy, porous skin.
Cut a quarter of lemon, thoroughly washed with a brush, into slices without removing the zest. It is better to remove the seeds from the fruit, since otherwise the drink will taste bitter.
Step 3
Peppermint stimulates the production of enzymes necessary for complete digestion of food, reduces appetite, and normalizes the activity of the gastrointestinal tract.
Finely chop the stems and leaves of fresh mint for a weight loss drink.
Step 4
Cucumber - the most unexpected component of a weight loss drink - contains a lot of fiber and water, and also has a rich vitamin and mineral composition. Promotes the elimination of fluid from the body.
Take a fresh cucumber, wash it and cut it into circles without peeling.
Step 5
Place the prepared ingredients in a tall, narrow container. Pour 250 ml of raw purified water here.
Step 6
Use a hand blender to grind the ingredients while mixing juice and water at the same time.
Strain using a strainer or cheesecloth. Pour in the remaining water and add natural bee honey to the drink.
Honey warms up, speeds up metabolic processes in the body, is a natural and useful sweetener. You will need one full tablespoon of this healthy product. Stir by dissolving the honey in the liquid.
Step 7
A drink for weight loss does not require heat treatment, which means that the amount of vitamins remains as high as possible.
Step 8
If your household does not have an assistant such as a hand blender or food processor, you can use a juicer.
In this case, pass all the prepared ingredients through the juicer, and then dilute the juice with water and add honey.
Step 9
You can also pass the ingredients through a fine mesh meat grinder several times, mix with water, and then strain and add honey.
Step 10
The weight loss drink is kept in the refrigerator. You need to drink it during the day, quenching your thirst, independently, but not instead of eating.
In addition, before using a drink made from ginger and lemon, think about whether you have any contraindications, since otherwise the drink will not benefit the body, but harm.
