Ginger-Lime-Shot

This Ginger-Lime-Shot is your new coffee! It wakes you up with its sour and tangy taste and nourishes your body with vitamin C and ginger's anti inflammatory properties! Ginger is also helping if you suffer from indigestion. For pregnant women ginger can help reducing if not cure morning sickness. For me personally it did help a bit, but I had an extrem case of morning sickness and there's only so much homemade ginger ale you can drink!
Limes contain flavonoides which have an anti carcinogenic, antioxidant and disinfectant effect. Also vitamin C lowers the body temperature and can help when you're having a fever.
Also limes regulate digestion and help with weight loss when consumed regularly.
So this juice is basically a combination of two easily accessible superfoods and will have a nourishing and even healing effect in your body!

Juice:
- 1-2 limes
- 1-2" piece of ginger

If you are new to juicing ginger make sure to go light on it until your stomach adjusts. The essential oils in ginger are pretty strong and you wouldn't want to upset your digestive system with something that's supposedly good for you!

If it tastes too strong for you, you can water it down by adding 100-200ml of water or add the Ginger-Lime-Shot to a 1 litre bottle of water and add some fresh fruit, mint or even cucumber for a flavour infused drink throughout the day.

If you're not a fan of limes, you can swap 2 limes for 1 lemon or 1 small apple to make it a ginger-something-shot.

Enjoy!
