Ginger benefits

Ok, so before we go off into each recipe, I wanted to quickly explore the benefits of ginger and why ginger shots are good for you.

A 2024 critical review of ginger identifies studies that show ginger has antioxidant, anti-inflammatory, antimicrobial, anti-obesity, anti-diabetic, anti-allergic, neuroprotective, hepatoprotective and nausea reducing benefits.

Ginger has also been found to ease pain in osteoarthritic patients (2022 study) and those suffering from migraines (2018 study).

So, ginger is as amazing as everyone says it is!

Homemade ginger shots recipes

Here are the ginger wellness shot recipes as promised.

1. Ginger turmeric shots

We’ve already seen the benefits of ginger, let’s talk about turmeric now. It contains a compound called curcumin which is known to have significant anti-inflammatory and antioxidant benefits. It’s also considered helpful for brain health and heart health.

There’s a study that found when persons take curcumin alone, it barely shows up in their blood. But, once piperine (the main compound in black pepper) is added in, bioavailability of curcumin jumps by 2000%! That’s why taking turmeric and black pepper together is a must.

And that’s why these ginger turmeric shots contain black pepper along with lemon, honey and coconut water. They are such simple wellness shots to make and pack a powerful anti-everything punch.

2. Pineapple ginger shots

Pineapple has some great health benefits too! It’s loaded with Vitamin C and contains good levels of fiber and a unique compound called bromelain. Sticking with the theme here, bromelain has significant anti-inflammatory benefits!

So, these pineapple ginger shots hit all the right wellness notes of anti-inflammatory, antioxidant due to the Vitamin C content and tastes great with the addition of honey and lemon.

3. Ginger and lemon shots

If you are new to ginger shots or find the sharp pungent taste of ginger to be difficult, then this lemon ginger immunity shot may be more suited to you. It’s incredibly mild and uses just four ingredients. The other two are honey and coconut water in case you were wondering.

4. Pineapple turmeric ginger shots

We’ve seen the benefits of ginger, turmeric and pineapple. What happens when you combine them together? You get shots that can give you 30% of your daily required Vitamin C levels!

These turmeric pineapple ginger shots have everything you need for the perfect ginger wellness shot. And it has lemon juice and honey too. The sweetness of the honey and pine balance the flavors and make this one of my favorite immunity shots.

5. Ginger lime shots

If you don’t have any lemons on hand, but have limes, you can definitely try making these ginger lime shots. They have a bit more citrusy zing to them than regular lemon ginger shots.

Those are my ginger wellness shot recipes for you to try. Do you have any favorites?
