The Wake Up Drink

There are some people who love to wake up early and some lazy ones who love sleeping more than anything else!However waking up is mandatory for our bodies to start working and building stamina.In the morning everyone needs a “kick” or a motivation to start the day.This drink will do just that.Let me explain how:

These are the fruits included:

1.ORANGE

Oranges are one of the best and cheapest sources of Vitamin C. Human bodies, unlike many other animals, do not manufacture Vitamin C, so a human needs vitamin C in their diet regularly. (Vitamin C helps the body to grow, to heal wounds and fight infection.) Oranges are also a very good source of dietary fibre.

2.BANANA

Bananas are an excellent source of Vitamin B6 and contain moderate amounts of vitamin C, manganese and dietary fibre.

3.MUSK MELON/CANTALOUPE

Musk and cantaloupe melons provide loads of nutrition with less calories and are an excellent source of Vitamin Aand C.

So we get a power packed Vitamin C booster which will keep us on our toes the whole day and be nutritious as well!There is honey included in the recipe which is far more better than normal refined sugar.However you can suit your taste and if all fruits are sweet not add any sweetener at all!

4.CORIANDER STALKS

Do not throw away the stalks when you use Coriander Leaves.Use them in this delicious drink and also for soups and stocks.
