All energy drinks should be consumed immediately after making them.

Here are my favorite recipes for some delicious booster drinks:

1. Banana and fig (dates or raisins) smoothie

1 ripe banana; 3 or 4 sun dried figs (dates or raisins); 1 tablespoon honey; 1 cup milk or water, a pinch of cinnamon powder.

Mix in the blender till smooth. For an extra boost you can add a heaped teaspoon of bee pollen powder.

Bananas provide potassium; figs, dates, raisins and honey provide a boost energy; bee pollen is a natural immune system booster.

2. Honey and bee pollen drink

1 tablespoon honey; 1 heaped teaspoon bee pollen powder; 1 cup warm water. Add ginseng extract for an extra energy boost.

3. Carrot, apple, egg yolk and honey smoothie

1/2 cup carrot juice), half an apple, 1 cup milk, 1 egg yolk; 1 tablespoon honey; ginseng extract (3-9 grams, liquid or granulated form).

(Optional: You can add 1/2 a teaspoon of spirulina powder for an extra boost).
