Mix Berry Energy Shots

Bright, juicy, and totally energizing — these Mix Berry Energy Shots are a zero-sugar, antioxidant-rich homemade energy drink made with berries, lemon, ginger, green tea, and coconut water. They're fresh, fruity, and ready in just 5 minutes using your blender and a sieve. Perfect for morning pick-me-ups, pre-workouts, or anytime you need a natural energy boost!

Mix Berry Energy Shots (Zero Sugar!)

Doesn’t it feel like time is constantly moving and maybe even quicker as we get older and life gets busier? Maybe it’s just me, but I don’t have the same energy I used to have when I was in my early 20s and even though much of the time I feel bright and energized, sometimes I just want a boost. On the days when I am not highly motivated to exercise or if I had a restless night, I just love to drink something naturally stimulizing and filled with essentials. This Mix Berry Energy Shot has been just the thing! Instead of reaching for another cup of coffee in the morning, or drinking something loaded with sugar, I’ve been making batches of this homemade energy drink and enjoying them around 3pm when that crash starts to set in.

These Mix Berry Energy Shots are fresh, fruity, and seriously energizing, it’s basically a homemade energy drink but packed with antioxidants, natural caffeine, and zero refined sugar instead of being loaded up with a bunch of crap! Whether you’re heading to a workout, powering through your to-do list, or just trying to stay awake past 3 p.m., this is your new go-to. Made with real fruit, green tea, coconut water, and ginger, these berry juice shots are like a reset button in a glass — no jittery crash, no artificial stuff, just good vibes and glowing skin. Let’s juice!

Mix Berry Energy Shots Ingredients

Every component in this recipe plays a role in boosting energy, hydration, and overall wellness. Here’s what you’ll need:

  • Blueberries: Known for their deep blue hue and sweet-tart flavor, blueberries are one of the most antioxidant-rich fruits out there. They help combat oxidative stress, support brain health, and add a naturally sweet base to this mix berry juice recipe.
  • Blackberries: With their dark, earthy flavor and soft, seedy texture, blackberries bring depth and complexity. They’re packed with vitamin C, fiber, and powerful polyphenols that make them a perfect fit for any natural energy drink recipe.
  • Raspberries: Bright, tangy, and full of anti-inflammatory compounds, raspberries help balance the flavor while delivering a healthy dose of fiber and vitamin C. They also contain natural compounds that may support metabolism and energy levels.
  • Strawberries: Naturally juicy and sweet, strawberries round out the berry mix with a subtle floral note. They’re rich in antioxidants and known for promoting heart health and glowing skin, making them a key player in this energy boosting drink.
  • Lemon Juice: Fresh lemon juice sharpens the flavor, adds brightness, and provides a big burst of vitamin C. It also acts as a natural preservative to help extend the shelf life of your berry juice homemade.
  • Coconut Water: Naturally loaded with electrolytes like potassium and magnesium, coconut water helps keep you hydrated and energized without any added sugar. It’s a refreshing base that supports balanced energy all day long.
  • Raw Honey or Maple Syrup: These natural sweeteners are optional, but just a touch can help mellow out the tartness of the berries and lemon. Both offer trace minerals and are a better choice than refined sugar in any homemade natural energy drink!
  • Green Tea: Green tea adds a gentle lift of caffeine along with L-theanine, an amino acid that promotes calm focus. It’s one of the best natural energy drink ingredients for a steady, jitter-free energy boost.
  • Fresh Ginger: Spicy, warming, and invigorating, ginger supports digestion and circulation while adding a subtle zing. It’s a powerhouse ingredient in homemade energy drinks and gives these shots their signature kick.

Berry Juice Benefits

Well my friends, the benefits are endless. Naturally, anytime you enjoy something that is grown from the earth, you are going to get a wealth of benefits, but this drink right here is like natural energy, next level. This is like maybe one of the most LA things I’ve ever made aside from the erewhon copycat smoothie because isn’t everyone here looking for natural ways to boost their energy, keep looking young and feel their best?

This mix berry juice is more than just delicious — it’s one of the best homemade energy drinks you can make. Packed with antioxidant-rich berries like blueberries, blackberries, raspberries, and strawberries, it helps fight inflammation and supports cellular health. The natural combination of fresh ingredients and zero sugar means you get all the benefits of a boost without the crash of artificial energy drinks. With its hydrating base of coconut water and immune-boosting lemon juice, this berry juice homemade recipe is a powerhouse of nutrients. Plus, it’s made with real fruit and no refined sugar, so you know it’s the real deal.

The addition of green tea brings a gentle lift of caffeine, making it a perfect homemade energy drink for mornings or midday slumps. The ginger adds a warming kick that supports digestion and makes each sip feel like a wellness ritual. This blend of natural energy drink ingredients is what makes it one of the best natural drinks for energy, and an easy choice if you’re looking to make your own energy drink at home.

How to Make Berry Juice in a Blender

You don’t need a juicer or any fancy tools to make this easy homemade energy drink — just a blender, a fine mesh sieve, and a few minutes!

Brew and Cool the Tea

Start by brewing your green tea and setting it aside to cool. This will be the base for your natural energy boost. The tea adds gentle caffeine and earthy flavor, making your homemade energy drink both refreshing and energizing.

Wash and Prep Your Ingredients

Rinse all the berries under cool water, slice the strawberries for easier blending, and peel and chop the fresh ginger. Prepping everything ahead of time keeps the blending process smooth and quick.

Blend Everything Together

Add all your ingredients — berries, lemon juice, coconut water, sweetener if using, cooled green tea, and ginger — into a high-speed blender. Blend until everything is completely smooth. This is where the magic happens: vibrant color, rich flavor, and all the natural energy drink ingredients come together.

Strain, Bottle, and Chill

Pour the blended mixture through a fine mesh sieve to remove any pulp or seeds. Transfer the smooth juice into reusable glass shot jars or an airtight mason jar. Store in the fridge for up to a week and enjoy a fresh homemade energy shot anytime you need a natural lift. Need the right equipment? You can find everything you need to make these shots here.

How to Customize Your Mix Berry Energy Shots

One of the best parts about this homemade energy drink is how easy it is to customize. If you don’t have strawberries on hand, swap them out for cherries or cranberries. No coconut water? Try cucumber juice, watermelon juice, or plain filtered water as your liquid base. Want to increase the caffeine content? Use yerba mate or black tea instead of green tea for a stronger lift. This is a flexible natural energy drink recipe that works with whatever you have on hand, and it always tastes delicious.

If you like things sweeter, toss in a pitted date, or add a bit more maple syrup or raw honey. Looking for extra spice or an immune boost? A dash of cayenne or a sprinkle of turmeric turns this into a fiery wellness shot. And if you’re low on fresh berries, frozen ones work perfectly — just let them thaw slightly before blending.

Why You’ll Love This Mix Berry Wellness Shot Recipe

This is not your basic mixed berry juice. These mix berry energy shots are full of flavor and functional benefits — delivering real energy from clean, whole ingredients. With zero sugar from refined sources, these homemade energy drinks are naturally hydrating thanks to coconut water, loaded with vitamin C, and rich in antioxidants from the berries and lemon. They’re also made with green tea and ginger, two of the most trusted natural energy drink ingredients for sustained focus and gentle digestion support.

Mix Berry Energy Shots FAQ

How long does mix berry juice last in the fridge? Up to 7 days in a sealed glass container.

Can I use frozen berries? Absolutely. Let them thaw slightly before blending for best results.

Is this an all natural energy drink? Yes! Every ingredient is a whole food or naturally derived — no artificial additives.

Can I skip the tea or caffeine? You can! Just add extra coconut water or try herbal tea instead.

Is this kid-friendly? Yes — if you skip the green tea, this makes a delicious berry juice recipe for kids, too!

Blue Spirulina Wellness Shots

These vibrant blue spirulina lemon ginger shots are a refreshing, nutrient-rich wellness drink designed to support your immune system and overall health. Made with fresh lemon, apple, ginger, and blue spirulina powder, this powerful shot is as beautiful as it is beneficial.

Blue Spirulina Wellness Shots

If you’re looking for a drink that will renew your energy, help you digest, make you feel great and is packed with nutrients – this is the drink for you. Wellness Shots are a quick and effective way to supercharge your body with essential nutrients. These Blue Spirulina Lemon Ginger Shots are among the best options for vibrant health in a small package! Packed with antioxidants, anti-inflammatory properties, and detoxifying benefits, this bright blue elixir is not only beautiful but also a powerhouse of wellness. You may be surprised to know that Spirulina also has protein, which means these mighty little shots also include a bit of protein naturally! This juice recipe requires no fancy kitchen tools and is ready in minutes! The recipe makes a pitcher of spirulina juice or 15 little shots. Let’s get blending!

What is Spirulina? 

Spirulina is a blue-green algae that has become one of the most popular superfoods in the wellness world. Rich in protein, antioxidants, and essential nutrients, spirulina is known for its vibrant color and impressive health effects. There are two main types: green spirulina and blue spirulina. Green spirulina is the whole algae, while blue spirulina is extracted phycocyanin—the pigment responsible for its striking blue hue and antioxidant power.

Blue Spirulina Wellness Shot Ingredients

  • Lemon: Peeled and sliced to remove bitterness from the skin, lemons are rich in vitamin C, promote hydration, support the immune system, and help alkalize the body. Their tangy flavor adds the perfect citrus zing to balance the earthiness of the spirulina.
  • Apple: Peeled, cored, and chopped, apple adds natural sweetness and body to the wellness shot. It’s packed with fiber, antioxidants, and vitamin C, making it a delicious way to mellow out the lemon and ginger. Feel free to use any apple you prefer or have on hand.
  • Coconut Water: Light, hydrating, and packed with natural electrolytes, coconut water acts as the base for these shots. It adds subtle sweetness and keeps the blend refreshing and easy to drink.
  • Fresh Ginger: A powerful anti-inflammatory root, ginger supports digestion, boosts circulation, and adds a spicy warmth to the drink. It also helps balance the flavor and delivers a gentle kick.
  • Blue Spirulina Powder: The star of the show! This vibrant blue superfood is derived from blue-green algae and is known for its high protein content, phycocyanin (a powerful antioxidant), and anti-inflammatory properties. It helps combat free radicals, supports brain health, and adds the gorgeous blue hue that makes these shots pop.
  • Maple Syrup: A touch of natural sweetness helps balance the tart lemon and spicy ginger. Maple syrup also brings trace minerals like zinc and manganese. For a non-vegan option, you can substitute raw honey for its additional antibacterial properties.

How to Make These Blue Spirulina Wellness Shots

Prep your ingredients

Start by prepping your ingredients—peel and slice the lemons (removing the seeds), peel and core the apple, slice the ginger, and measure out your spirulina powder and maple syrup. Add everything into a high-speed blender, then pour in the coconut water to help everything blend smoothly.

Blend everything

Blend on high until the mixture is fully combined and as smooth as possible. The goal is to extract as much goodness as you can from the fresh ingredients.

Pour into containers

Next, place a fine mesh sieve or nut milk bag over a large measuring jug or bowl, and slowly pour the mixture through. Use the back of a spoon to press down on the pulp, extracting every last drop of juice.

Once strained, transfer the bright blue liquid into glass shot jars or an airtight mason jar. Store in the fridge for up to 1 week, and shake well before each serving. Enjoy one shot daily as part of your morning wellness routine or whenever your body needs a little extra support!

Benefits of Consuming Spirulina 

It’s basically health in the form of powder! Spirulina is packed with plant-based protein and is a complete protein source, making it ideal for anyone looking to support a healthy lifestyle. It contains antioxidants like phycocyanin that help fight free radicals, reduce blood pressure, and lower fasting blood sugar levels. Spirulina benefits also extend to skin and hair health, brain support, and anti-inflammatory effects.

Research suggests that regular consumption of spirulina can enhance the immune system and help reduce oxidative stress, which contributes to chronic diseases. Drinking spirulina in juice or as part of a spirulina shot recipe is an effective way to incorporate this superfood into your daily routine.

Why You’ll Love This Blue Spirulina Wellness Shot 

This spirulina drink is more than just pretty to look at. These shots have protein and antioxidants, making them a great way to support your health and wellbeing. They are made with easy and clean ingredients, meaning there are no fillers or refined sugars. It’s low-calorie and completely vegan – you can serve these wellness shots to anyone or keep them all for yourself and drink them through the week. These wellness shots are a great way to support your health without spending a fortune! Whether you’re focused on disease prevention, weight loss, or simply supporting your body’s natural detox pathways, this spirulina juice shot is the perfect addition to your morning routine.

Beet Juice Variations

Make this beet juice recipe your own by experimenting with ingredients. Try an Apple Ginger Beet Juice by swapping pineapple for apple juice for a naturally sweet, crisp flavor. If you love a little heat, add a pinch of cayenne pepper for a Spicy Beet Juice that boosts metabolism. For a more hydrating twist, blend in cucumber slices to make Cucumber Beet Juice. If you prefer a refreshing and cooling option, mix in fresh mint leaves for a Minty Beet Juice with detoxifying benefits.

How to Store Beet Juice

This recipe is designed to last through the week. If you make this fresh beet juice you can enjoy some immediately and store the rest in the refrigerator for up to a week. To maintain freshness and flavor, store it in an airtight glass container and keep it chilled. Since natural separation occurs, be sure to shake the juice before drinking to mix everything back together.

What to Do with Juice Pulp

Don’t let your beet juice pulp go to waste—it’s packed with fiber and nutrients that can be used in other recipes! Blend it into smoothies for extra fiber, mix it into soups or stews for added nutrition and texture. There are also some recipes that use the pulp for muffins or veggie burgers. If you’re not using it for food, consider composting it to reduce waste and give back to the environment.

Can You Freeze Beet Juice?

Yes! Freezing beet juice in small portions (like ice cube trays) makes it easy to thaw and drink whenever you need a boost.

Unlike sugary juices, ginger shots are packed with antioxidant properties, ginger benefits, and just the right amount of sweetness from the honey and dragon fruit.

  • Fresh ginger: The star of the show, ginger root is packed with antioxidant properties and provides a fiery kick that supports digestion, boosts immunity, and regulates blood sugar levels. Its spicy warmth is key to making these shots energizing and effective. Ginger is not for the light-hearted but if you can handle its pungent punch you can expect a whole lot of benefits!
  • Pink pitaya (dragon fruit powder): This vibrant superfood not only adds a stunning pink hue but also provides antioxidants, fiber, and natural sweetness. It’s a nutrient-dense ingredient that makes these shots as visually appealing as they are healthy.
  • Honey: Try and go with a local honey for maximum health and immunity benefits. This natural sweetener as antibacterial and soothing properties that are amazing for your system. The honey also balances the tangy and spicy flavors while offering additional immune-boosting benefits. For a vegan option, substitute with maple syrup or apple honey.
  • Fresh lemon juice: Lemon juice is a powerhouse of vitamin C, antioxidants, and cleansing properties. Its tangy flavor adds brightness and pairs perfectly with the ginger to support your immune system and aid digestion.
  • Coconut water: This hydrating base is rich in natural electrolytes, keeping you refreshed and replenished. It also adds a subtle tropical flavor that complements the other ingredients.
  • Filtered water: Used to adjust the consistency and dilute the mixture slightly, filtered water ensures the shots are smooth and easy to drink without diluting their nutritional power.

Benefits of Ginger

Fresh ginger is a nutritional powerhouse, packed with numerous health benefits. One of its most notable advantages is its ability to support digestion by reducing bloating and promoting a healthy gut. Ginger also plays a crucial role in regulating blood sugar levels, making it a valuable addition for those seeking to manage their blood sugar naturally. Furthermore, ginger is known for its anti-inflammatory and antioxidant properties, helping to fight oxidative stress and inflammation in the body. Lastly, it’s a fantastic immune booster, easing cold symptoms and supporting overall immune system health.

Benefits of Lemon

Lemon juice is more than just tangy and refreshing—it’s a secret weapon for health. Rich in vitamin C, lemon juice helps support the immune system, keeping colds and infections at bay. It also contains antioxidants that combat free radicals, which can damage cells and contribute to aging and disease. Additionally, lemon juice has natural cleansing properties, helping to detoxify the body and aid in digestion, making it a perfect addition to your wellness routine.

Benefits of Pink Pitaya (Dragon Fruit)

Pink pitaya, also known as dragon fruit, is not just for beauty—it’s also packed with health benefits. Rich in antioxidants, it helps to protect the skin and reduce inflammation, promoting a healthy complexion. The fruit is also high in fiber, which supports digestion and helps maintain gut health. Besides its health benefits, pink pitaya adds a natural sweetness and vibrant color to your wellness shots, making them both nutritious and visually appealing.

I have made the best immunity-boosting wellness shots that only require a blender and a sieve!! Two items you most likely already have at home paired with a few ingredients you also most likely already have at home and you’ve got yourself a wellness elixir that I like to call liquid sunshine!

Save money and make these easy, cost-effective and delicious shots to keep the sickness at bay this flu season and all year round! 

The BEST Ginger Turmeric Shots Recipe

This ginger turmeric shot recipe is a game-changer when it comes to staying healthy! Whether you’re looking to boost your immune system, fight inflammation, or simply get a daily dose of wellness, these babies have got your back. Packed with the benefits of fresh ginger, ground turmeric, lemon juice, and black pepper; they’re quick to make, and budget-friendly, and you can store them in the fridge or freeze them in ice cube trays for easy access whenever you need a boost.

What are Ginger Turmeric Shots?

Ginger turmeric shots are small, concentrated drinks made from potent ingredients like fresh ginger, turmeric powder, and lemon juice. Known for their anti-inflammatory properties, these wellness shots are great for supporting immune function and overall health.

Ingredient Wellness Shots Worth the Hype

  • Fresh Ginger: Ginger is a powerhouse when it comes to wellness. Many people around the world use it for its anti-inflammatory and antioxidant properties. Fresh ginger also helps soothe digestion, making it a natural remedy for nausea and bloating. It’s also great for boosting the immune system and fighting off colds. The spicy kick from ginger adds a warming element to these shots, making them both refreshing and invigorating.
  • Turmeric Powder: Turmeric is often hailed as one of the most potent anti-inflammatory spices on the planet. The active compound, curcumin, helps reduce inflammation in the body and is known for its antioxidant properties. While turmeric powder is more convenient and has a longer shelf life than fresh turmeric, it still packs the same punch when it comes to health benefits. Combined with black pepper, turmeric’s curcumin is more easily absorbed by the body, ensuring you get the full anti-inflammatory benefits.
  • Lemon Juice: Fresh lemon juice is a great source of vitamin C, a vital nutrient for maintaining a healthy immune system. It also helps detoxify the body by promoting hydration and supporting liver function. The bright, tangy flavor of lemon cuts through the stronger elements of ginger and turmeric, balancing the shot perfectly and giving it that fresh, zesty sunshine taste we all love.
  • Black Pepper: You likely will not taste the black pepper in this recipe but it plays a very important role so don’t skip it! Black pepper enhances the bioavailability of curcumin in turmeric, which means your body can absorb the beneficial compounds more effectively. 
  • Maple Syrup: If you love the zing and spice of ginger turmeric shots just as they are you can leave the maple out. If you want to sip or just don’t like that powerful flavor punch, a little maple syrup goes a long way and adds a natural sweetness. Honey or agave would also be great natural sweeteners.

How to Make Lemon Ginger Turmeric Shots in a Blender

No need for fancy equipment – this turmeric shot recipe can be made using just a blender! Here’s how to do it:

Add 3 cups of coconut water, juice of 3 lemons, 2 thumb-sized pieces of fresh ginger, 1 1/2 tsp of turmeric powder, 1-2 tbsp of maple syrup, and a pinch of black pepper to your blender. Blend until the mixture is smooth and thoroughly combined.

Strain the liquid through a fine metal sieve into a large jug or measuring cup. Pour the strained juice into 2oz reusable shot jars or a mason jar for storing in the fridge. This method makes it easy to whip up a batch of ginger turmeric lemon shots and store them for later!

The Turmeric Lemon Ginger Shots Benefits

  • Immune Support: The combination of fresh ginger, turmeric, and lemon is perfect for giving your immune system a boost, especially during cold and flu season.
  • Anti-Inflammatory: Both ginger and turmeric have powerful anti-inflammatory properties, making these turmeric shots ideal for reducing inflammation in the body.
  • Improved Digestion: Ginger is well-known for its ability to soothe the stomach and aid digestion.
  • Energy Boost: These wellness shots are a quick, natural pick-me-up to help keep you energized throughout the day.

Ways to Drink Ginger Turmeric Shots

Enjoy this drink however you please, you can make it quick and take it like a shot or you could mix it with nut milk for a more creamy drink. I even enjoy pouring this mix into ice cube trays and using a cube or two into my morning smoothie or tea to cool it off. The best thing about the simplicity of these wellness shots is how convenient it is to experiment with! Making these wellness shots is also very quick and requires minimal cleanup. I used a NutriBullet for this recipe and it worked perfectly. If you want to grab all the essentials click here.

Green Wellness Shots

Incorporate these Green Wellness Shots into your daily routine for an easy and delicious way to support your body and embrace a healthier lifestyle. With just a few minutes of prep time, you can create a batch of wellness shots that are not only beneficial for your health but also kind to your wallet.

Cheap and Easy Homemade Health and Wellness Shot Recipes

I’m all about saving a dollar and when I realized that those ginger shots, immunity shots and little tiny bottles of liquid gold were slowly eating up my wallet I had to stop and think about how to make these myself. They are an amazing addition to my fridge; they take minutes to make but offer so many benefits to my body and mind. I’m all about embracing the do it yourself energy, living a healthy lifestyle and NOT breaking my bank. Today, I’m sharing with you a recipe that I’ve been making variations of for months now – these tiny but mighty Wellness Shots pack a punch of nutrients and health benefits. Make these Green Wellness Shots and boost your immune system, fight inflammation, and enjoy the myriad health benefits these potent drinks offer.

What You Need to Make Green Wellness Shots

  • Greens of Choice (Spring Mix, Spinach, or Kale): These leafy greens are powerhouses of vitamins A, C, K, and minerals like iron and calcium. Spinach and kale, in particular, are known for their high antioxidant content, which can help reduce oxidative stress and may lower the risk of chronic diseases. Use whatever leafy greens you’ve got!
  • Green Apples: Rich in fiber and vitamin C, green apples are fantastic for digestive health and boosting the immune system. The fiber content also promotes heart health by helping to lower cholesterol levels.
  • Fresh Pineapple: Pineapple is not just juicy and delicious; it contains bromelain, an enzyme that may aid in digestion and reduce inflammation. It’s also high in vitamin C and manganese, supporting immune health and antioxidant defences. I love adding a sweet fruit or two to help balance the acidity and earthiness of the other ingredients.
  • Fresh Parsley: Parsley is much more than a garnish; it’s a nutritional powerhouse containing vitamins A, C, and K, and antioxidants like luteolin, which can help protect the body against oxidative stress and support bone health.
  • Ginger: Known for its potent anti-inflammatory and antioxidative properties, ginger can help alleviate nausea, improve digestion, and may reduce muscle pain and soreness.
  • Kiwi: These small fruits pack a big nutritional punch, high in vitamin C, vitamin K, vitamin E, and potassium. They’re also rich in antioxidants and fiber, which can aid digestion and boost heart health.
  • Limes: Limes are an excellent source of vitamin C, vital for immune function, skin health, and iron absorption. They also contain antioxidants that can neutralize harmful free radicals.
  • Celery: Celery is low in calories but high in fiber and water, making it excellent for hydration and digestion. It also contains phytonutrients that may have anti-inflammatory benefits.
  • Cucumbers: Comprising mostly water, cucumbers are incredibly hydrating. They also contain vitamins K and C, and potassium, making them great for skin health and blood pressure regulation.
  • Coconut Water: A natural hydrator due to its electrolyte content, particularly potassium, coconut water can support hydration better than water alone. It’s also low in calories and a healthier alternative to sugary beverages.

What are Wellness Shots?

Wellness shots are concentrated beverages made from nutrient-dense ingredients, designed to deliver a quick boost of vitamins, minerals, and antioxidants. They’re an excellent way to supplement your diet and support overall health, especially for busy individuals seeking to maintain a balanced lifestyle.

Why DIY Homemade Wellness Shots are Better Than Shop-Bought

Making wellness shots at home puts the control in your hands! That means that you can use whatever ingredients you want, you can switch up your concoctions based on what properties you’d like to have. Having full control also means that you can avoid additives and sweeteners found in many store-bought versions (to maintain shelf life or appeal to the masses). Plus, it’s cost-effective and customizable, allowing you to tailor each batch to your taste preferences and health needs.

How To Make Wellness Shots

Creating your wellness shots at home is simpler than you might think. This wellness recipe calls for a blend of greens, green apples, pineapple, parsley, ginger, kiwis, limes, celery, cucumber, and coconut water. This combination ensures each shot is brimming with vitamins, minerals, and antioxidants essential for a healthy body and mind. Simply blend, sieve, and store – it’s that easy to prepare these nutrient-rich shots.

Wellness Shots To Boost Your Immune System

The ingredients in these homemade Wellness Shots are carefully selected for their health-promoting properties. Greens and parsley provide a base rich in vitamins A, C, and K, while green apples and pineapple add a naturally sweet, tangy flavor and digestive enzymes. Ginger and kiwi are known for their anti-inflammatory benefits, and lime juice adds a vitamin C boost. Celery and cucumber round out the mix with hydration and additional nutrients, making these shots a powerful tool for boosting immunity.

Tips For Making Shots

  • For an extra nutritional kick, feel free to add or substitute ingredients based on your personal health goals. Use what you’ve got and what inspires you. I believe that food calls us when we need it! Don’t be afraid to experiment.
  • If the mixture is too thick, add more coconut water to facilitate blending, this will also ensure that you don’t have difficulty getting your liquids in the little bottles.
  • Shake before drinking! Sometimes the ingredients will settle once you’ve had them in the fridge for a while so it’s always a good idea to shake it up.

  • Then enjoy daily! I’d recommend taking one shot daily every morning on an empty stomach

Notes

** The great thing about these wellness shots is you can add, substitute or take away anything you don’t want to include. The mix I’ve created was designed for maximum nutritional content for a healthy gut, but please feel free to swap out what you would prefer.
** I filled my 12 pack of shot bottles and kept the remainder in an air-tight glass bottle. The shot bottles are available in my shop! Grab them HERE. But you can keep the entire batch in a bottle and pour shots daily also.
** This recipe can also be done with a juicer, just skip the sieving step. I wanted to create a recipe that can be without a juicer for those who don’t own one. But feel free to use a juicer if you have one 🙂
