Notes

  • You'll need 2-3 fresh lemons to get 1/2 cup of lemon juice.
  • A 40-gram (1.4-ounce) piece of gingerroot will be about 3 inches long. The same goes for turmeric. Use fresh ginger and turmeric for this recipe! 
  • This recipe works best in a high-speed blender like a Vitamix. You can also send all of the fruits through your juicer, but you'll lose the fiber in the pulp.
  • For a smoother shot, strain the mixture through a fine-mesh sieve after blending.
  • These shots can be stored in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 2 days. Turmeric stains, so I suggest using a glass storage jar.
