Packed with anti-inflammatory properties and antioxidants, this simple recipe is perfect for a morning boost or anytime you need a health kick.

Here's how to make it:
Ingredients:
- 6 lemons (you can add an orange for extra sweetness)
- 1 large head of fresh turmeric (adjust to taste)
- 1 large head of fresh ginger (adjust to taste)
- A pinch of black pepper (this helps with the absorption of turmeric)
- Water (optional, if you prefer a more diluted shot)
Instructions:
- Prepare the Ingredients
- Peel the fresh turmeric and ginger.
- Chop them into small chunks for easy blending.
- Juice the lemons (and the orange, if you're using one).
- Blend It All Together
- Add the turmeric, ginger, and lemon juice into a high-powered blender like a NutriBullet. Blend until smooth. You can add a small amount of water if the mixture is too thick.
- Strain the Mixture
- Pour the blended mixture through a fine strainer or cheesecloth to separate the juice from the pulp. Squeeze or press down to extract as much juice as possible.
- Add Black Pepper
- Once strained, add a pinch of black pepper to the juice. This is important as it enhances the absorption of the curcumin in turmeric.
- Serve and Enjoy
- Pour your fresh turmeric and ginger juice into small shot glasses for a concentrated wellness shot. Alternatively, you can dilute the juice with water for a refreshing drink.
How to Store:
- Store any leftover juice in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 3 days.
