Motley Health’s Vitality Elixir
If you are feeling run down and feel like you do not have the energy to keep yourself going through the day, it is time to boost your energy levels with our elixir for vitality. It will help you boost your immune system, increase your metabolism and make you feel healthier and better within yourself, giving you that little kick to need to feel good about yourself.
Ingredients:
- 400ml skinned milk
- 1 egg yolk without the membrane – This will give you energy for the day, egg yolks are filled with vitamins and fat acid, including Vitamin A, D, E and K, iron, omega 3 and high quality protein. Raw egg is rich in essential fatty acid DHA, but it disintegrates in the cooking process.
- A small piece of cinnamon stick or powder – It is rich in manganese, fiber, iron, and calcium.
- A pinch of ginger powder – a good stimulant and expectorant.
- A pinch of hot chilli pepper powder – to boost your metabolism.
- A pinch of guarana powder – to boost your energy level
- 3 cloves – excellent source of manganese, a very good source of dietary fiber, vitamin C and omega-3 fatty acids and a good source of calcium and magnesium. Clove is also an anti-inflammatory and antioxidant.
- 2 desert spoons of chocolate powder – cocoa rich chocolate reduces stress giving you a calm and pain relieving effect, it is also an antioxidant.
- 1 teaspoon of vanilla essence – for a nice extra flavour (optional).
How to make Motley Health’s Vitality Elixir:
Simply heat up the milk in a pan and add all the other ingredients. Stir well and simmer for about 3 minutes.
You can add a whole raw egg at the end, instead of hitting up just the yolk with the milk, if you prefer. So you don’t lose some of the egg’s properties. Also the egg white is rich in vitamin B.
The quantity of the ingredients is just a guideline. Feel free to adjust it to your own taste and palate.
Enjoy it!

I made this for my husband last night as he had been feeling under the weather for the last few days, and it seemed to work. At least he felt a bit more lively in the evening or a few hours and was complaining less! I didn’t have any guarana powder – where can I buy that? He was not too pleased when I told him there was egg in it, but he still drank it down.
You can buy guarana tablets in most health food stores, and Tesco do some too. The powder is common in Brazil, but we have not actually seen any around here. If anyone finds some, let us now. If you cannot get powder, take a tablet at the same time.
