Lemon Turmeric Wellness Shots: A Powerful Antioxidant & Immune Support Elixir
Are you ready to elevate your wellness routine with a shot that not only tastes amazing but also packs a powerful health punch?
Introducing Lemon Turmeric Wellness Shots – your go-to solution for boosting immunity, reducing inflammation, and even tackling those pesky seasonal allergies.
Say goodbye to expensive store-bought options and hello to fresh, homemade goodness!
Why Wellness Shots?
Wellness shots have become a popular item on grocery store shelves and local juice shops, but they often come with a high price tag.
If you already own a juicer, it’s time to dust it off and create these nutrient-rich shots at home.
Don’t own a juicer? No problem. You can make these in a high-speed blender, by adding a bit of filtered water, and running through a sieve 1-2 times to remove the pulp.
Freshly made juice retains more nutrients compared to store-bought versions, which start losing their potency immediately after being made. For maximum benefits, consume your juice within three days.
