Ingredients:
1 cup fresh pineapple, peeled and chopped
1-inch piece of fresh ginger root, peeled
1 tablespoon fresh lemon juice (optional for extra zing)
1/2 teaspoon turmeric powder (optional for added anti-inflammatory benefits)
A pinch of cayenne pepper (optional for a spicy kick)
1/4 cup filtered water or coconut water
1 teaspoon honey or agave syrup (optional for sweetness)
Directions:
Prepare the Ingredients: Begin by chopping the pineapple into chunks and peeling the ginger. If you're using lemon, turmeric, or cayenne pepper, gather these extras as well.
Blend the Mixture: Add the pineapple, ginger, and any additional ingredients (lemon, turmeric, cayenne, honey) to a blender. Pour in the filtered water or coconut water to help the blending process.
Blend Until Smooth: Blend the mixture until it reaches a smooth consistency. If needed, add more water for a thinner texture.
Strain (Optional): If you prefer a smoother shot, you can strain the mixture using a fine mesh strainer or cheesecloth to remove the pulp.
Serve: Pour the liquid into small shot glasses or bottles, and enjoy immediately for maximum freshness!
Serving and Storage Tips:
Serving: These pineapple ginger shots are best served fresh, but you can store them in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 2-3 days. Shake well before drinking, as natural separation may occur.
Storage Tips: If you like to make a batch in advance, you can portion the shots into small containers and store them in the fridge. For added convenience, you can even freeze the shots in ice cube trays and thaw a cube whenever you’re ready for a wellness boost.
