Immunity Ginger Turmeric Shot
This fiery little shot is small but mighty and packed with ingredients that work together to support your gut and strengthen immunity year-round. Fresh ginger and turmeric bring anti-inflammatory and antimicrobial power, helping soothe digestion and calm the immune system. Celery hydrates and delivers essential minerals, while lemon provides vitamin C to boost your body’s natural defenses. A sprinkle of black pepper or cayenne isn’t just for spice, it enhances nutrient absorption and adds circulation-boosting benefits.
Whether you’re navigating flu season, feeling run down, or simply want to start your mornings with a powerful ritual, this shot helps keep your gut resilient and your immune system primed.
Don’t forget to double juice!
Ingredients
• 1 cup celery stalks, chopped
• 2 inches fresh ginger root, scrubbed (unpeeled)
• 2 inches fresh turmeric root, scrubbed (unpeeled) — or 1 tsp turmeric powder
• 1 whole lemon (peel it, cut in half, and add to the juicer)
• Pinch of black pepper or cayenne pepper
Instructions
1. Wash ginger and turmeric thoroughly (leave peel on).
2. Peel a whole lemon, cut it in half, and add it to the juicer. (Save the peel to zest on salads or other dishes.)
3. Run celery, ginger, turmeric, and lemon halves through the juicer.
4. Make sure to double juice, because there is a lot of juice left in the fiber.
5. Pour into small glasses, sprinkle with black pepper or cayenne, and serve immediately.
