As the back-to-school season kicks in and the cooler weather approaches, it’s more important than ever to keep your immune system in top shape. Ginger Turmeric Immunity Shots can easily be incorporated into your daily routine. Toss them in your smoothie, freeze into cubes then add hot water for an immune-tea, or simply shoot them back!


Packed with powerful ingredients like ginger, turmeric, lemon, and honey, these shots are designed to support your immune function and keep you feeling your best.


Why These Ingredients?

1. Ginger Root: Ginger is well-known for its anti-inflammatory and antioxidant properties. It helps to boost the immune system and combat infections.


2. Turmeric Powder: Turmeric contains curcumin, a compound with strong anti-inflammatory and antioxidant effects. It’s a natural way to help your body fight off pathogens and reduce inflammation.

Pro tip: A pinch of black pepper helps activate curcumin in turmeric.


3. Lemon Juice and Oranges: Lemons are rich in vitamin C, a vital nutrient for immune health.


4: Honey: Honey isn’t just a natural sweetener; it’s also packed with antioxidants and has antibacterial properties. It helps to soothe the throat and gives these shots a more palatable taste.


How to Make Ginger Turmeric Immunity Shots

Ingredients:

  • Juice of 2 lemons

  • 1 large ginger root, chopped

  • 1 teaspoon turmeric powder

  • 2-3 orange slices

  • 1-2 tablespoon honey

  • 1 cup coconut water

  • 1 cup water

  • A pinch of cayenne pepper (optional, but recommended)

  • A pinch of black pepper


Instructions:

  1. Prepare the Ginger: Start washing and chopping the ginger root into smaller pieces. This will make it easier to blend. I leave the peel on.

  2. Blend Ingredients: In a high-speed blender, combine all ingredients. Blend on high until smooth.

  3. Strain the Mixture: Strain the mixture using a fine mesh sieve or to remove any pulp.

  4. Store and Serve: Pour the shots into small glass bottles or jars and store them in the fridge. They can last for up to a week. Shake well before serving.


To make it kid friendly: Add fresh cubed pineapple to sweeten things up and tone down the spice of the ginger. They can drink it as is or add it to their smoothie!
