I share a new recipe every Monday, Wednesday and Friday, but yesterday was not my day. I’ve sprained my knee, so I couldn’t publish this one. ? I’m sorry for the inconvenience! It’s not a serious thing, so I’m here again to share with you my simple, healthy, vegan recipes, because it’s really easy to be vegan and also to follow a healthy diet, you can do it too!
It’s cold season and there are a few things you can do to boost your immune system, like eating healthy, exercise or taking an immune boosting ginger shot, which is a bomb because of its taste and the ingredients you need to make it. They’re alcohol-free, super healthy and taste much better than alcoholic shots!
You just need a juicer (or a blender) and 4 ingredients (apple, lemons, ginger and turmeric) to make these easy peasy shots. They’re perfect to prevent and treat colds or even the flu and they’re also a great natural anti inflammatory remedy.
Cheers! To your health!
Tips:
- You can also use ground ginger and turmeric. Make the juice using only the apple and the lemons, pour it into a jar, add the ground ginger and turmeric and stir.
- There are other ingredients you can add like cayenne powder (which is great to get rid of mucus), other fruits or leafy greens.
- If you don’t have a juicer, place all the ingredients in a blender, add some water and blend until smooth.

Can you make a large batch for the week? Also, is it true you need black pepper to activate the turmeric?
Hi Amy! I recommend you to make it at the moment instead of a large batch for the week! Also, I’m not sure if that’s true or not. I’m so sorry 🙁
I added black pepper and half an orange. It was so tasty. Thank you

Sounds so good! Thanks for your comment 🙂
I’ve heard of ginger shots but do not have a recipe this morning, so to the internet I ran and there was ingredients I need to use. I went to the store to buy some turmeric and the rest is history.
The recipe is great it taste delightful and it is great for the body. Now that we are engulfed into the trenches of Cotvid-19, and the winter months ahead we need to prepare and use this recipe to help heal the body living through a time. of the unknowns. Thanks for the recipe.

Hi Carrol! Thanks for your kind comment 🙂 Have a nice day!
I like my Ginger shot I’m just wondering how I can go about making it more efficiently and nutritionally
Hi Renee! Our ginger shots are so healthy but you can also try our immune booster juice: https://simpleveganblog.com/immune-booster-juice/ 🙂 Hope you like it!
Hi I made this it was amazing. But a few things I’d like to know is when using a blender and using ginger powder and turmeric powder what are the measurements I’ll need?
Hello, I haven’t tried it myself so I’m not sure about the measurements. But, I think it will be enough with one teaspoon of each one 🙂 Have a nice day!
If I can’t find turmeric root, can I sub ground turmeric? And how much should I add? Thx 🙏
Hello Karen!!! if you don´t find the root you can use ground turmeric instead. It is not as fresh but the flavor does not change a lot. My advice is to add spoon by spoon and to try the flavor till you get the result ! Have a great day!
Hello, this looks so tasty! Can I keep the leftover liquid in the fridge, and if so, does it keep its benefits after the fridge?
Thank you.
Hi Iris! Thanks a lot 🙂 Yes, you can keep it for up to 72 hours 🙂
Hi. I have ground ginger and ground turmeric. Exactly how many tsp do I use of both equivalent to the actual ginger and turmeric root?
😊 Thank you
Hi Vernessa! I haven’t tried it myself, so I can’t tell you the amount, sorry! I would add it gently until it tastes good 🙂
How long this receipt can keep max in fridge !?tks
I added about half a flat teaspoon of both the ground tumeric and cayenne pepper. Very spicy but lovely. If you don’t want it to burn that much at the back of your throat, half the amount.
