Healthy turmeric-ginger energy shots that can be taken daily for it’s health benefits. Including anti-inflammatory properties and digestive aid. Plus, it takes just 4 ingredients and 15 minutes of your time!
I regularly make these energy shots to stay healthy. Turmeric and ginger both have great health benefits. They are anti-inflammatory and relieve cold and flu symptoms. Ginger supports overall digestion and curcumin, which is the main ingredient of turmeric, supports the immune system. I always feel energised when I drink this in the morning.
Makes: ~1/2 litres
Preparing Time: ~10 minutes
[ingredients title=”Ingredients”]
- 120 g turmeric
- 140 g ginger
- 2 large lemons
- 1/4 tsp pepper
[/ingredients]
[directions title=”Directions”]
1. Peel the ginger and turmeric using a spoon. Attention: the turmeric will badly stain your hands and utensils! I recommend using gloves. Once peeled, add them to a bowl.
2. Squeeze the lemon either by hand or using a citrus press. Add the lemon juice into the bowl.
3. Add to your blender or food processor and blend till smooth. If the paste is too thick, add a little more lemon juice or a little water.
4. Carefully pour the blended mixture into a nut milk bag, over a bowl. Attention: your nut milk bag will become yellow. It can just become your dedicated turmeric shorts bag.
5. Squeeze out all the liquid. I got about 1/2 litres of fresh turmeric-ginger-lemon juice.
6. Store in a glass container. If you have little glass vials of around 50 ml, one would be your daily dose.
7. Refrigerate and consume within 7-10 days. To keep them longer, you can add them to ice cube trays and freeze them.

Yes, if you have a juicer, you can juice the ginger and turmeric with it. There’s a blog post dedicated to this method too – https://www.alphafoodie.com/ginger-turmeric-immune-boosting-energy-shots-juicer-recipe/
