Healthy turmeric-ginger energy shots that can be taken daily for their 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 energized when I drink this in the morning.

How to make turmeric ginger energy shots
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.
Squeeze the lemon either by hand or using a citrus press (see more tips on how to juice a lemon). Add the lemon juice to the bowl.
Add to your blender or food processor and blend till smooth. If the paste is too thick, add a little more lemon juice or water.
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.
Squeeze out all the liquid. I got about 1/2 liter of fresh turmeric-ginger-lemon juice.
Store in a glass container. If you have little glass vials of around 50 ml, one would be your daily dose.
Refrigerate and consume within 7-10 days. To keep them longer, you can add them to ice cube trays and freeze them.
You can also make this recipe with a juicer. See how to make turmeric and ginger shots with a juicer. Or give these other energy shots a try – Wheatgrass Shots and Lemon, Ginger, and Cayenne Immunity Shots.

I just made these. Very messy with turmeric, but we juice a lot so I expected it, and already had a stained cheesecloth. I added an extra lemon and water. Was able to fill 10 2oz shots. I drank one, and wow it’s strong even after diluting. I still like it, and definitely will make again. Thank you!
Thank you so much for your comment, Jennifer! Glad you enjoyed the shots – indeed, they can be strong when freshly made at home. You can also dilute them with some orange or apple juice to sweeten them a bit.
