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.

Karen says
If I can’t find turmeric root, can I sub ground turmeric? And how much should I add? Thx 🙏
Iosune Robles says
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!
Iris says
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.
Iosune says
Hi Iris! Thanks a lot 🙂 Yes, you can keep it for up to 72 hours 🙂
Annie says
I actually just read that it depends on the type of juicer you use. The nutritional value can last from 24 hours to 4-5 days.
Iosune says
Hi Annie! Thanks a lot for your comment 🙂
Vernessa Richard says
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
Iosune says
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 🙂
Annie Tran says
How long this receipt can keep max in fridge !?tks
Jennifer says
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.
Iosune Robles says
Hi Jennifer, thanks for your comment 🙂 Have a nice day!
Gigi says
Great Immune booster! I love ginger and lemon so this recipe was great!
Iosune says
Hi Gigi! So glad you liked it 🙂
Tanya says
Hi do you squeeze the lemons or put the whole lemon in Peel and all?
Iosune says
Hi Tanya! I put the whole lemon, but I peel it first 🙂
Karen says
How often do you take this Immune shot?
Iosune says
Hi Karen! It depends on the time of the year and my immune system, but you can take it as often as you want 🙂
Belle says
Can you substitute raw pressed apple juice for the apple? My blender doesn’t liquify it enough if I use real apples.
Iosune says
Hi Belle! I think it could work 🙂
Clara says
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;)
Iosune says
Hi Clara! Best when fresh, you can keep it in the fridge for about 2-3 days 🙂
mike says
How long does this recipe last is stored correctly?
Iosune says
Hi Mike! Keep it in a jar or sealed container in the fridge for up to 72 hours 🙂
Katrin says
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 ^^)
Iosune says
Hi Katrin! I'm so glad you liked it 🙂
Kavya says
Hi Katrin!
You can find turmeric in the Netherlands in stores but its usually called kurkuma 🙂
Iosune says
Hi Kavya! Thanks a lot for your comment 🙂
John says

Hi Krystal! So glad you liked it 😀
Alisha Mires says
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 🙂
