Turmeric Ginger Energy Shots in small bottles

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.

Turmeric Ginger Energy Shot Ingredients

  • 120 g turmeric
  • 140 g ginger
  • 2 large lemons
  • 1/4 teaspoon pepper
Turmeric and ginger roots with two whole lemons with a leaf and a small bowl with black pepper laying on a flat gray surface

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 (more tips here). 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.

    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!

      1. 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 🙂

  2. Hi
    I’d like to try this but cannot get fresh turmeric. Can I use powdered turmeric.
    Thank you.

    1. Hey, I always prefer to use fresh but I think around a tsp of dried turmeric powder would work for this recipe:)

      1. You can indeed. I’ve found that if using powdered turmeric then you need 1/2 tsp powder, per energy shot 🙂

  3. 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????

    1. 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.

    1. 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. :))

    1. 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. 🙂

  4. 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! :-))

    1. 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.
