Wellness Shot

You can use whatever ingredients you like. My favorite combo is the one above, but a close second is using orange juice instead of pineapple. Some days, I add more turmeric or ginger; it just depends on my mood and whether I feel I need a little extra kick.

Equipment

  • High Speed Blender
  • 6 Little Glass Jars

Ingredients
  

  • 1 whole Lemon, flesh only, no white pith
  • 5-10 cm Tumeric root peeled and cut (2-4 inches )
  • 5-10 cm Ginger root peeled and cut ( 2-4 inches )
  • 200 grams Tinned unsweetened pineapple 1 can or 1 cup drained or not drained is fine
  • 400 grams Water 1 3/4 cups, do 1 1/2 cups if you don't drain the pineapple
  • 1 pinch Cayenne pepper
  • 1 pinch Black pepper

Instructions
 

  • Place all of your ingredients into your blender and blend on high for 1-2 minutes.
  • Pour your liquid into little glass jars. I have found the perfect shot size is 90 grams. ( 3.5 ounce ) Make sure you shake them before you drink them because sometimes bits and pieces settle at the bottom of the jar.
  • I keep them in the refrigerator and use them within one week.
