Ingredients
- 1 inch fresh ginger root peeled (or organic ginger root for best results)
- 1 medium fresh lemon peeled
- 2 organic oranges peeled (or 1 cup orange juice)
- 1 golden kiwi fruit peeled
- 1/4 teaspoon ground turmeric
- 1 teaspoon of honey Manuka is best, but regular honey is ok, too; you can skip this if you want to keep it plant-based
- 1/4 teaspoon cayenne pepper optional – just a pinch of cayenne pepper
- 1 cup coconut water add more for desired consistency
Instructions
- Gather all your fresh ingredients. Wash and peel the ginger, lemon, oranges, and kiwi.
- Add all ingredients to your blender. Start with the coconut water at the bottom.
- Blend until completely smooth. This may take a minute or two.
- Strain the mixture through a fine mesh sieve. A nut milk bag also works well. This removes pulp for a smoother shot.
- Add the honey to the strained juice.
- Pour the strained juice into small bottles. I like to use glass bottles.
- Store in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. You can also freeze them in ice cube trays!
- Drink one shot daily for immune support.
Notes
- Adjust sweetness by adding more honey, golden kiwi, or oranges.
- For an extra kick, add a pinch of black pepper (addition of black pepper helps with absorption of curcumin).
- If you don’t have fresh ginger, use 1/2 teaspoon of ground turmeric.
- If you don’t have fresh pineapple, use 1/2 cup of pineapple juice.
- Surprise tip: Don’t throw away the pulp! Add it to a stir-fry for extra flavor and nutrients.
