energético


Explanation:
'energético matutino favorito'. Muitos, hoje em dia, tomam um suco energético caseiro, preparado (sem nenhuma gota de álcool) à base
de (tanta coisa! a variedade fica por conta da imaginação), por ex., beterraba, laranja, beringela, cenoura, casca de ovo, folhas de hortelã,...
Aqui, esta expressão já faz parte do vocabulário (principalmente dos jovens que malham(fazem esporte) nas academias).

um-dois-três


Explanation:
A expressão em inglês está em um tom bastante informal e criativo. Assim, devemos também criar uma expressão que represente "ânimo, vigor, etc.", ainda que seja nome para uma bebida ou estimulante.
Ficaria assim "...para o seu um-dois-três com café matinal vindo de toda parte do mundo.
(Só como sugestão, é claro.)
