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.

How often do you take this Immune shot?
Hi Karen! It depends on the time of the year and my immune system, but you can take it as often as you want 🙂
Can you substitute raw pressed apple juice for the apple? My blender doesn’t liquify it enough if I use real apples.
Hi Belle! I think it could work 🙂
Hi!
I’m with a flu, so I`ll try it… maybe it helps!
Can I keep it in the fridge for how many days?
Thanks;)
Hi Clara! Best when fresh, you can keep it in the fridge for about 2-3 days 🙂
How long does this recipe last is stored correctly?
Hi Mike! Keep it in a jar or sealed container in the fridge for up to 72 hours 🙂
Hi! I was looking for an easy ginger shot recipe and this was perfect!
I was, however, missing turmeric (I’ve never seen it sold seperately in the Netherlands, not even grinded) but I did add cayenne.
I also don’t own a juicer, but do have a blender and a strainer, which worked just as well.
It tastes soo good and is super concentrated. I love it! A great start of my day ^^)
Hi Katrin! I’m so glad you liked it 🙂
Hi Katrin!
You can find turmeric in the Netherlands in stores but its usually called kurkuma 🙂

Hi Kavya! Thanks a lot for your comment 🙂
Just tried the recipe. It was great! Made a slight modification by throwing in some blueberries. Thanks for sharing!
Hi John! Sounds great 🙂 So glad you liked it!
What juicer do you use?
Hi Dana! I have this juicer: https://amzn.to/2V4Q3Db Any other will work though 🙂
Tasty and healthy

Hi V! Thanks a lot 🙂
This is so great I just tried it so easy too!
Hi Krystal! So glad you liked it 😀
Hey there, if I’m using ginger and turmeric powder, how much should I use? Thanks.
Hi Alisha! I’ve never made this recipe using them, so I don’t know, sorry!
Do you cut up the whole lemon and put it into the blender or juice it first?
Hi Kennesha! I cut up the whole lemon and put it into my juicer 🙂
This recipe is exactly what I am look for, do you peel the ginger root?
Hi Cheryl! I didn’t, but it’s up to you 🙂
Looooove this! Just made it like a minute ago and had to leave a review. I’m def sharing on my insta @emsveggies. I purchased little containers to go along with my meal prep so I can take one each day and even bring them on trips. So great and surprisingly tastes good, despite what other health shots taste like.
Hi Em! Thanks a lot 🙂 So glad you liked it!
Hi…I’d like to make your ginger shots but can’t find the Tumeric root where I live….I do have Tumeric capsules so if I can use that how much would you recommend…I’m a cancer patient and am worried about my immune system…it’s been thru alot and needs alot of TLC….thanks😃
Hi Karen! I’m so sorry, but I’ve never used tumeric capsules to make this recipe, so I’m not sure. I would add them gently until it tastes good for you 🙂 Hope it helps!
hi, thank you for receipt! how long can you store juice in the fridge?
Hi Maria! You’re so welcome 🙂 Keep it in the fridge for up to 2 days and in the freezer for up to a week 🙂
How much ground ginger do you use
Hi Cathy! I’ve only made this recipe using fresh ginger, but I would probably about 1/4 to 1/2 tsp ground ginger. Have a nice day!
Thanks for the juicer/blender tips. I dont know what to buy for my homemade ginger shots. Blender or juicer? Are there any cold press machines on the market?
★★★★
Hi Jonathan! You’re so welcome 🙂 I prefer to use a juicer, but you can also use a blender, it’s okay. I have an Italian cold press juicer called Siquri. Have a nice day!
How often should these shots be spread out if I’m taking 1 oz shots? Thanks so much!! ?
Hi Stephanie! I also take 1 oz shots 🙂 You can take as many as you want!
I’ve made these ginger shots but only with turmeric and ginger..it’s very advantageous..thanks?
Hi Romessa! You’re welcome 😉
I just invited a bunch of friends to like your blog. I think it is the best! I have made your simple vegan butter several times, and I feel so liberated from store-bought, plastic encased, palm-oil containing alternatives. Thank you for all the effort you put into this. You are changing lives!
★★★★★
Hi Marilyn! Thank you sooo much 😀 I’m so glad you like our blog. Have a great week!
I love this juice! The first time i tried it, it hurt my throat a bit because of the lemon. So the second time i added a bit of honey and it tasted even better i think!
Hi Eline! Thanks a lot 😀 I’m so glad you liked it!
Hello,
Do you peel the lemon before blending/juicing?
★★★★
Hi Alyssa! Yes, I peel the lemon first 🙂
can you store the rest in the fridge?
Hi Courtney! Of course you can 🙂
I chose the blender option and added spinach. It tasted amazing and I felt very alive. thanks for the recipe.
Hi Summer! You’re so welcome 🙂 I’m so glad you liked it!
How much ground turmeric do you use in place of the fresh?
Hi Christina! It depends on your taste, I’d add 1/4 to 1/2 tsp, but you should add it gently 🙂
These pictures are so beautiful! I’m looking forward to trying the recipe – I’ve been looking for ways to get more ginger and turmeric in my diet 🙂

Hi Allison! Hope you make and enjoy it 😉
Love your site! I also make my own hummus and couldn’t live without my Vitamix. I want to buy a Vitamix for my son who lives in Poland and also my other son who lives in the UK. Did you have to order a special adapter for your Vitamix? I’ve blown so many American appliances in Europe by not understanding the electrical outlet use. Can you offer any advice. Does Vitamix offer a special product for European use? Thanks!
Thanks a lot Louann! Vitamix offer special products for Europe, I don’t have to use a special adapter, just buy the Vitamix in a European store (I love Amazon!). Have a nice day!
What a great idea! Also, those are really cute shot glasses…
Hi Tara! Thanks a lot 😉 Have a great day!
