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.

October 25, 2015 at 16:28Love 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!
Iosune says
October 26, 2015 at 12:32Thanks 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!

Christina says
June 13, 2016 at 19:21How much ground turmeric do you use in place of the fresh?
Iosune says
June 14, 2016 at 18:49Hi Christina! It depends on your taste, I’d add 1/4 to 1/2 tsp, but you should add it gently 🙂

Alyssa says
October 21, 2016 at 04:05Hello,
Do you peel the lemon before blending/juicing?

Iosune says
October 24, 2016 at 19:57Hi Alyssa! Yes, I peel the lemon first 🙂
Eline says
December 30, 2016 at 19:02I 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!
Iosune says
January 2, 2017 at 15:58Hi Eline! Thanks a lot 😀 I’m so glad you liked it!

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!

Jonathan Jackson says
April 26, 2017 at 13:50Thanks 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?
★★★★
Iosune says
May 1, 2017 at 12:20Hi 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!
Cathy says
October 3, 2017 at 23:19How much ground ginger do you use

April 9, 2018 at 12:42Hi…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😃
Iosune says
April 10, 2018 at 04:15Hi 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!
em says
May 19, 2018 at 23:47Looooove 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.
Iosune says
May 23, 2018 at 09:45Hi Em! Thanks a lot 🙂 So glad you liked it!
Cheryl Mc Carthy says
June 7, 2018 at 18:33This recipe is exactly what I am look for, do you peel the ginger root?
Iosune says
June 13, 2018 at 12:24Hi Cheryl! I didn’t, but it’s up to you 🙂
Kennesha says
August 21, 2018 at 10:21Do you cut up the whole lemon and put it into the blender or juice it first?
Iosune says
August 23, 2018 at 11:11Hi Kennesha! I cut up the whole lemon and put it into my juicer 🙂
Alisha Mires says
August 31, 2018 at 06:06Hey there, if I’m using ginger and turmeric powder, how much should I use? Thanks.
Iosune says
August 31, 2018 at 10:10Hi Alisha! I’ve never made this recipe using them, so I don’t know, sorry!
Krystal says

Katrin says
February 24, 2019 at 15:55Hi! 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 ^^)
Iosune says
February 24, 2019 at 17:25Hi Katrin! I’m so glad you liked it 🙂

Clara says
April 15, 2019 at 15:24Hi!
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;)
Iosune says
April 16, 2019 at 12:36Hi Clara! Best when fresh, you can keep it in the fridge for about 2-3 days 🙂
