Looking for a wellness shot recipe that nourishes, fuels, and aids your body in the morning and is so easy to make? Your salvation may come in the form of a very small glass. Health-boosting immunity shots, like complex juices, provide a quick dose of antioxidants, vitamins, and minerals, but in a more concentrated form.

This Ginger Lemon and Immunity Booster Shot can give a boost to your immune system. Plus, you’ll only need 4 ingredients, a juicer, and 10 minutes of your time!


Need a Boost?

This Ginger Lemon and Turmeric Immunity Booster Shot  is packed with immunity boosters and it's a delicious way to start your day!
  Boost your immunity in one quick swig with this immunity shot.  

  Our immune system is like a strong wall that protects us from foreign pathogens. Developing a strong immune system is indeed a long-term project, but you can always give it a boost by including healthy herbs and concoctions in your diet. 

Anytime anyone in our family feels under the weather, I try to avoid medication if there’s another alternative to getting back to health. Whenever possible, I try to stay healthy and well through the foods we eat instead of getting sick and trying to take medicine afterward.

One of my go-to’s are these Ginger Lemon Turmeric Immune Boosting Shots. I’m a big fan of making them all cold and flu season to avoid getting sick, but they’re especially helpful with upset stomachs, inflammation, and more when you’re already feeling icky.


Why You Should Drink these Turmeric and Ginger Shots

  • They are delicious!
  • You’ll feel energized without caffeine.
  • They are rich in Vitamin C.
  • They could help you maintain a healthy gut.
  • They’re easy to include in your daily diet.

Immunity Shot Ingredients

Here’s how each of the ingredients in this Immunity Shot nourishes, fuels, and boosts your body in the following ways:

Lemon: Lemon is high in Vitamin C and is known to have antiviral and antibacterial properties.

Orange: Orange is high in vitamin C and beta-cryptoxanthin, a carotenoid that your body converts to vitamin A.

Ginger contains gingerol, which can help reduce the risk of infection and inhibit the growth of a variety of bacteria.

Turmeric: Curcumin, the active ingredient in turmeric, is known to be a potent anti-inflammatory and antioxidant.

Black pepper: Adding a pinch of black pepper to your turmeric increases the absorption of curcumin by nearly 2000%!

What Is Turmeric?

This plant grows in India, Asia, and Central America, and it is related to ginger. It looks orangey and yellow like ginger root.

The turmeric root can be used to make juices, such as this turmeric shot recipe, or powdered for dried spices.

The yellow compound curcumin found in turmeric has antioxidative properties and may reduce inflammation.


Why Add Black Pepper?

It is suggested that if you use turmeric for its health benefits, you also use black pepper. This is due to the presence of piperine in black pepper, which may increase the absorption of curcumin while providing its own benefits like relieving nausea, headaches, and poor digestion.


Jam Packed with Immune Boosters

You only need 4 ingredients and 10 minutes of your time to make these immunity shots. Use powdered turmeric if you don't have raw turmeric.

How to Drink It

Energy shots can be quite strong, so it is best to drink them like shots! Simply tilt the cup back and swallow it. I like to serve it in small shot glasses as you can see in the picture.

You can always drink this ginger and turmeric shot like turmeric juice. It all depends on your preference! I suggest trying it as a shot first before pouring a huge glass of it.


Frequently Asked Questions FAQs:

How long does this immune-boosting wellness shot last?

Generally, the sooner you drink freshly squeezed juice, the more nutrients are available. However, this juice can easily be stored in the refrigerator for up to a week.

How many ginger shots a day can I drink?

You can start your day with one shot and take another one in the evening.

Can you juice ginger and turmeric with the skin on?

If your turmeric and ginger are organic, you can juice them without peeling them! If they are not organic, you may want to peel them before juicing, or at the very least thoroughly wash them.

Is it safe to take a ginger shot on an empty stomach?

It is advised that you only take one shot on an empty stomach. This should allow your body to reap the benefits of turmeric, ginger, black pepper, without causing stomach discomfort.

Would turmeric or ginger powder suffice in place of the fresh root?

You can use powdered versions of the two spices in this hot. If you do, I recommend adding more liquid, such as water or citrus juice. Powdered spices are less potent than the root-based version.

What does turmeric taste like?

Turmeric adds a vibrant natural color to any food and it also has a strong, earthy, and spicy flavor similar to ginger. This makes it ideal for savory dishes and spice blends.
