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.

Jonathan Jackson says
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?
Iosune says
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!
Stephanie says

Hi Stephanie! I also take 1 oz shots 🙂 You can take as many as you want!

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!
Iosune says
Hi Marilyn! Thank you sooo much 😀 I'm so glad you like our blog. Have a great week!
Eline says
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!
Iosune says
Hi Eline! Thanks a lot 😀 I'm so glad you liked it!
Alyssa says

Hi Alyssa! Yes, I peel the lemon first 🙂

Summer says
I chose the blender option and added spinach. It tasted amazing and I felt very alive. thanks for the recipe.
Iosune says
Hi Summer! You're so welcome 🙂 I'm so glad you liked it!
Christina says
How much ground turmeric do you use in place of the fresh?
Iosune says
Hi Christina! It depends on your taste, I'd add 1/4 to 1/2 tsp, but you should add it gently 🙂
Allison says
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 🙂

Louann Chapman says
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!
Iosune says
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!
