HOW TO MAKE GINGER SHOTS

Making wellness juice shots at home takes about 10 minutes start-to-finish depending on the amount of shots you make.

1. Prep Ginger and Fruit – peel and chop fresh ginger, pineapple and lime
2. Juicer – push the ginger, pineapple and lime through the tube feeder on a juicer.  If you don’t have a juicer, then blend all the ingredients in a high speed blender and strain though a fine mesh sieve and discard any remaining pieces of fruit and ginger.
3. Pour – pour about 1/3 cup for each shot

I typically juice up a whole pineapple at a time with about 6 1-inch pieces of ginger and 2 – 4 limes and then pour the shots in these little containers that I purchased at Smart and Final.  The pineapple sweetens the taste a bit and makes it a little easier to down the ginger juice in a shot.   

There’s a lot of good reasons to drink pineapple ginger juice!

Ginger is part of the plant family that includes turmeric and cardamom.  Its spiciness comes from components known as ketones and gingerols found in ginger.  And it’s been used for ages for the treatment of the common cold, nausea, arthritis and high blood pressure and more. It’s rich with antioxidants, being surpassed only by pomegranate and some berries.  (1)  Ginger is a potent anti-inflammatory and it stimulates digestion and aids in proper absorption of nutrients from foods. (2)
