5 Minute Homemade Immunity Shots, Ginger Citrus

Mallory
These homemade immunity shots are my go-to when I feel a sickness coming on! They use simple ingredients, are less expensive than buying them out or from the grocery stores, and it only takes 5 minutes to make a whole batch! Plus, they taste delicious so you'll look forward to adding them to your daily routine! 😊 You don't need a juicer for this recipe, just a blender and fine mesh strainer.

Notes

Expert Tips
  • If possible, use fresh fruit juice and fresh ginger root. Bottled lemon juice doesn't taste as good as fresh!
  • Be sure that the Apple Cider Vinegar you use says  "from the mother".
  • It's normal for the spices to sink to the bottom of the glass. Redistribute by stirring it.
Storage
  1. Refrigerator - store in the fridge for up to 2-3 days.
  2. Freezer - make additional doses for later by freezing these immunity booster shots in an ice cube tray for up to 1 month. When you're ready to drink it, either let it thaw in the fridge or put it in a glass and pour hot water over it to enjoy as an immunity tea! Storage for Immunity Booster Shot

Dietitian Tip
No single food or recipe will give you superhuman immunity - not even these immunity-boosting shots. But eating a well-balanced diet high in nutrient-rich foods can support a healthy immune system. I enjoy these wellness shots any time of year but especially in winter months. It's also important to get enough sleep, get enough vitamin D, stay hydrated, manage stress, and move your body too!
