Wellness Shot Recipe (Print Version)
# Ingredients:
→ Fresh Citrus Base
01 -
Fresh juice squeezed from 2 bright lemons
02 -
2 juicy navel oranges, skin removed
03 -
1/4 cup filtered water
→ Wellness Boosters
04 -
1/4 cup fresh ginger root, roughly chopped (no need to peel)
05 -
1 teaspoon vibrant fresh turmeric root (or 1/4 teaspoon ground turmeric)
06 -
1/8 teaspoon freshly cracked black pepper
07 -
1 tablespoon good quality olive oil (optional but recommended for better absorption)
# Instructions:
01 -
Toss the lemon juice, water, and olive oil into your high-speed blender first. Add the peeled orange segments, chunky ginger pieces, turmeric, and black pepper. Blend everything together until you get a smooth, vibrant mixture that looks like liquid sunshine.
02 -
Set up a fine mesh strainer or clean cheesecloth over a large mixing bowl. Pour your blended mixture through slowly, letting gravity do most of the work. If you're using cheesecloth, gently squeeze the pulp to extract every last drop of that golden goodness - work in small batches so you don't overwhelm the cloth.
03 -
Transfer your beautiful, smooth elixir into small 2-ounce glass containers for individual servings, or pour everything into a 12-ounce mason jar for easy storage. Pop them in the refrigerator where they'll stay fresh and ready to boost your day.
# Notes:
01 -
The olive oil isn't just for flavor - it actually helps your body absorb all that amazing turmeric much more effectively, so don't skip it if you want maximum benefits.
02 -
Save yourself some prep time by leaving the ginger skin on! Just give it a good scrub under running water and chop it up. The skin adds extra nutrients and won't affect the final taste after straining.
03 -
No fresh oranges on hand? No problem! You can easily substitute with 1/2 cup of high-quality, 100% pure orange juice instead.
04 -
These shots are perfect for meal prep - make a batch on Sunday and you'll have immune-supporting goodness ready all week long.
