Kick off your day with this bright immune-boosting shot that packs nature's strongest health ingredients. This punchy mix of citrus, ginger, and turmeric doesn't just back your immune system—it wakes you up with bold flavors and a warm zing.
I've felt steadier energy and caught fewer colds since making this part of my morning. Even my picky teens, who run from anything that seems healthy, have jumped on board with this daily habit.
Key Ingredients Overview
- Juicy lemons: Go for plump, weighty ones
- Ripe oranges: Navels give the best juice
- Tender ginger: Younger roots work better
- Raw turmeric: The brighter orange, the better
- Pure honey: Try to get raw from nearby
- Fresh carrots: They add natural sweetness
Simple Preparation Process
- Getting Stuff Ready:
- Rinse everything well. Take all peel off citrus. Get rid of seeds. Slice into small chunks. Keep sizes about the same. Don't prep too far ahead.
- Using a Juicer:
- Put in bits slowly. Switch between soft and hard pieces. Don't push too hard. Watch the pulp build-up. Wipe spout if clogged. Catch juice in a cup.
- If You're Blending:
- Stack ingredients smartly. Pour in liquid bit by bit. Hit pulse then run until smooth. Pour through strainer. Push gently. Get all the juice out.
- Last Touches:
- Heat honey just a tad. Stir into juice well. Sip and tweak. Cool if you want. Pour shot-sized amounts. Drink right away.

Finding these wellness shots changed my morning routine completely. The natural boost and immune backup have made such an impact that I now make a batch every Sunday for the whole week.
Keeping It Fresh
Keep in little glass jars with tight lids in your fridge. Dark bottles help save the good stuff, but any glass works fine. Don't forget to shake before drinking since things might settle.
Switching With Seasons
When it's cold outside, I throw in extra ginger and a tiny bit of cayenne. In hot weather, I sometimes toss in some mint to make it more refreshing.
