These homemade wellness shots aren’t for the faint of heart. They are powerful, immune-boosting wonderdrinks that will help you and your family stay well during the germ seasons, and beyond!<\/em><\/p>\n

 When my mom and dad gave me a juicer (this masticating Omega model<\/a><\/span> I’d been drooling over) two years ago I was ecstatic. I juiced all the things and often had bottles of juices lined up in my fridge. Then I fell off the wagon and realized I liked eating salads more than drinking a large green juice. While I still love a good, nutrient-packed glass of fresh juice every now and then, I no longer have colorful bottles lined up in the fridge.<\/p>\n

That doesn’t mean I’ve forsaken my juicer though. In fact, I might say it’s getting more use than ever because this winter I’ve fallen in love with homemade wellness shots!<\/p>\n

I usually make our wellness shots in the early morning before David leaves for work. It doesn’t take much prep, and while it does take a little clean up, I find powering our immune systems with fresh turmeric, ginger, and lemon first thing in the morning to be worth the 5 minutes I spend scrubbing parts afterwards.<\/p>\n

I’ve been sharing our shots regularly on Instagram stories<\/a> and after replying to DM after DM with the breakdown of what I put into them, I realized I just needed a blog post to refer to, so this is it!<\/p>\n

No juicer? No problem! Make my favorite ginger and turmeric tonic<\/a><\/span> using only your blender! Or try some of these great options from Splendid Spoon<\/span><\/a>.<\/em><\/p>\n

What is in a Wellness Shot?<\/h2>\n

What goes into these particular powerhouse shots? I’m so glad you asked! I stick to items that are fresh and can be found in a lot of grocery stores, as even turmeric root is becoming more widely available.<\/p>\n
