Lemon Ginger Turmeric Wellness Shots

Two glasses of Turmeric Wellness Shots for an anti-inflammatory homemade juice

When considering what type of beverage to share for New Year’s Eve celebrations this year, my mind initially went to mocktails. They’re fruity and booze-free—what’s not to love? Well, if I’m honest, I’m not a huge mocktail fan.

Then I thought, “What would be something I’d actually be excited to drink if walking into a NYE party?” Answer: Healthy shots. Call me a grandma, I don’t care. That’s how I roll these days.

Are you with me? If yes, let’s get our anti-inflammatory on.

Fresh orange, turmeric, ginger, lemon and black pepper for making homemade wellness shots

This 5-ingredient, 5-minute shot starts with a juicer. However, if you don’t own a juicer fear not. You can easily blend your ingredients in a blender and strain for a similar effect!

Lately I’ve been gravitating toward juice with a high vitamin C content, seeing as it’s flu season. And I’m also always looking for ways to get more turmeric, ginger, and lemon into my system. Why, you ask?

Turmeric contains a compound called curcumin, which boasts amazing antioxidant and anti-inflammatory effects. (source)

Ginger is a natural anti-inflammatory and antioxidant that’s known to aid digestion and relieve nausea. (source)

Lemon is naturally detoxifying and alkalizing in the body, aids in healthy bowel movements, and boasts plenty of vitamin C, which boosts the immune system. (source)

And black pepper helps boost the absorption of turmeric by up to 2,000%. Yes, 2,000! (source)

Once your juice has been extracted, it’s time to add that magical black pepper to the mix and throw one (or two) back.

We hope you LOVE these shots! They’re:

Citrusy
Spicy
Anti-inflammatory
Vitamin C-rich
Immune-boosting
& Super tasty

If you’re into these flavors, I know you’ll love these wellness shots! However, if you’re looking for similar benefits with a less intense bite (the ginger can be intense!), try our 5-Minute Vegan Golden Milk or 3-Ingredient Turmeric Tonic instead.

If you’re looking for more NYE beverage inspo, check out our Pear and Cranberry Champagne Cocktails, Orange-Infused Whiskey Gingers, Easy Traditional White Sangria, or our fan favorite Easy Traditional Red Sangria!
