What Are Wellness Shots?

Wellness shots are small, concentrated drinks, usually 1–2 ounces that are made from a mixture of nutrient-rich ingredients like fruits, vegetables, herbs, spices, and extracts.

They help provide a quick dose of vitamins, minerals, and antioxidants for optimal health, boosting the immune system, aiding digestion, and increasing energy levels.

Pineapple Ginger Wellness Shots Benefits

Ginger – contains 2 powerful compounds called 6-gingerol and 6-shogaol. Both work by stopping the production of inflammatory compounds and blocking key inflammatory pathways in the body. Ginger also helps with digestion, nausea, and boosts the immune system.

I’ve tried this recipe with turmeric, carrots, and orange juice and it comes out great every time. If you are adding turmeric, make sure to sprinkle in a pinch of black pepper to activate the curcumin in turmeric. You also want to omit the lemon juice or reduce the serving to a spoonful when using orange juice as well.
