An inflammation-lowering, immune-boosting health shot is a great way to keep your body healthy and supported during the winter months. Not to mention they’re easy to make and quite refreshing!

Health shots line the grocery store aisles and might make you wonder if you should pay for them. While I do appreciate many of these brands, especially if I’m on the go, they are a bit pricey. Instead of spending upwards of $5 on a single shot, make this homemade batch for only a few dollars more.

The ingredients are easy to get, and are very inexpensive. The recipe itself only takes a few minutes to make as well, making it an overall great tonic.

Benefits of Health Shots

There are many different benefits to the ingredients within these shots, but some stand out in particular. The shots are packed with antioxidants, vitamins and minerals, that are all beneficial for the body.

Carrots – If you follow along on Instagram, then you know just how much I love carrots and their wide range of benefits. Aside from the fact that they help your body expel excess estrogen, they’re also great sources of beta carotene, fiber, vitamin K1, potassium, and antioxidants.

Oranges – High in vitamin C, folate, and potassium, these citrus fruits are also a great source of antioxidants.

Lemon – This fruit is high in vitamin C and can help to support everything from heart health to digestive health.

Ginger – ginger is one of my personal favorites, with a long history in traditional medicine. Not only does it help with fighting off things like the cold, but it can also aid in digestion, problems with nausea, and support your general immune system.

Turmeric – This spice contains bioactive compounds with medicinal properties that have anti-inflammatory and antioxidant benefits.

Black Pepper – Necessary to activate the curcumin in the turmeric

Cayenne Pepper – This specific form of pepper includes an active component called capsaicin. This has a range of benefits from lowering blood pressure to increasing metabolism and aiding in digestive health.

How Often Do I Make This Health Shot?

I typically make this every Sunday night. It takes a few minutes and lasts me the entire week.

Is This Health Shot Just for Helping When Sick?

While the ingredients to these shots are beneficial for the immune system, it’s generally great for your body year round. I do recommend making them when sick, but they’re also great on a day-to-day basis.

Top Tips to Make This Health Shot Recipe

  • FYI these shots are spicy but so good for your body.
  • You can strain the pulp or keep it. I sometimes keep it for fiber purposes but feel free to get rid of it.
  • Also, you can peel the skin of the ginger, I’m just lazy and it’s totally fine to keep on.
