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.

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!
You can find turmeric in the Netherlands in stores but its usually called kurkuma 🙂

Hey there, if I'm using ginger and turmeric powder, how much should I use? Thanks.
Iosune says
Hi Alisha! I've never made this recipe using them, so I don't know, sorry!
Kennesha says
Do you cut up the whole lemon and put it into the blender or juice it first?
Iosune says
Hi Kennesha! I cut up the whole lemon and put it into my juicer 🙂
Cheryl Mc Carthy says
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.
Iosune says
Hi Em! Thanks a lot 🙂 So glad you liked it!
Karen Solinski says
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😃
Iosune says
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!
Maria says
hi, thank you for receipt! how long can you store juice in the fridge?
Iosune says
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 🙂
Cathy says
How much ground ginger do you use
Iosune says
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!
