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 really love this recipe. I have been making these for 2 weeks now and really enjoy them first thing in the morning. Thank you!
Hello,
I would like to ask if there is anything that I can do with the remaining pulp.
Thanks for the great idea!
The pulp can be frozen in an ice-cube tray and added to smoothies. I only use 1 ice-cube per smoothie usually so it’s not too fibrous. It can also be composted 🙂
Hi
I’d like to try this but cannot get fresh turmeric. Can I use powdered turmeric.
Thank you.
Hey, I always prefer to use fresh but I think around a tsp of dried turmeric powder would work for this recipe:)
Will it produce the same amount of liquid if you use a juicer?
Hello.
It would produce about the same amount of liquid when using a juicer.
Can I use turmeric powder instead? And how much of it should I add.
You can indeed. I’ve found that if using powdered turmeric then you need 1/2 tsp powder, per energy shot 🙂
Tumeric ginger shots are so good for your overall health.
Yes, they are excellent 🙂
Hello!! I was wondering what to you do with the fiber that stays in the bag after you squeeze all juices out? Thank you!
Ps: Oh! And where do you get the little containers????
There’s a little section of ‘recommended products’ in the recipe that includes a link to the little shot jars I use. Also, in terms of the fiber – you can freeze this in an ice-cube tray and use 1-2 ice cubes in smoothies. Alternatively, it can be composted too.
How long do I have to take this ? As in the frequency of taking this ?
Hi Indra,
You can take the energy shots when you feel like you need a little boost. I try to vary the ingredients each week so I can take advantage of their different nutrients. :))
Hi! I love these, but where can I find the small glass bottles?
Thanks!!
Hi Xio,
I am glad you are enjoying these. You can find the small glass bottles here: https://amzn.to/2S9J36k
I hope this helps 🙂
What is the turmeric and why you use different ingredient than the one u did by juice maker
Hi Amira,
Turmeric is another ingredient that is really good for health. I try to vary the shots each week. There will be more energy shots DIYs coming up. 🙂
Hi! I watch and love all your DIY’s! I have a question, where do you buy the bag you use all the time and the tiny shot glasses? Thank you! :-))

Love all your DIYs! Thank you so much for all the tutorials. Quick question, how long can they last in the fridge?
Hi Arushi,
Thank you so much!
In the fridge, they last 7-10 days. If you freeze them, they can last a couple of month. You can use big ice cube trays so then you can easily de-freeze one or two cubes.
