These turmeric ginger shots are energizing immune boosters! They’re super easy to make with only five ingredients and are vegan and paleo with zero added sugar.

Ingredients

  • 1/2 cup + 1 tablespoon (135 grams) orange juice freshly squeezed
  • 1/4 cup + 2 tablespoons (90 grams) lemon juice freshly squeezed
  • 2 tablespoons (22 grams) ginger peeled
  • 2 tablespoons (22 grams) turmeric peeled
  • pinch black pepper
  • 1 teaspoon olive oil or avocado oil for better absorption, optional

Instructions

  • Chop your ginger and turmeric if not using a high-speed blender.
  • If using a high-speed blender or regular blender, place all the ingredients into the jar and process on high until totally smooth. If you use old ginger, you might have a chunk that doesn't want to blend. If that happens, pour about half of the liquid into a glass (but not the ginger chunk) and blend again. Then add the rest of the liquid and blend a moment to combine.
  • If using an immersion blender, use a large enough vessel to ensure you don't make a mess. Blend, and don't take the immersion blender out of the liquid while it’s still spinning because it will go everywhere.
  • I was able to get mine 100% smooth with a high-speed blender. If yours has chunks, you might want to strain it.
  • Each serving is 2 tablespoons.
  • They can be refrigerated for up to 4 days (they're best within 48 hours), but they start to lose their nutritional value the longer they sit. It separates after sitting, so stir it before drinking.
  • Freeze using an ice cube tray or baby food silicone mold but know that turmeric will stain them and take on the smell. You can freeze them for up to 3 months, but they lose a bit of nutritional value the longer they sit.

Notes

  • This recipe yields 1 cup + 1 tablespoon.
  • Turmeric stains!
