Simple Follow-along Guide
- Produce Preparation:
- Give everything a good wash. Take all the peel off citrus. Get rid of seeds. Cut into chunks you can handle. Try to keep sizes about the same. Don't prep too far ahead.
- Juicing Method:
- Put ingredients in bit by bit. Switch between soft and hard stuff. Don't push too hard. Watch your pulp bin. Wipe the spout if it clogs. Catch all that juice carefully.
- Blending Alternative:
- Stack ingredients for best results. Pour in liquid as you go. Start with pulses then go full blend. Run through a strainer. Press down gently. Get every drop you can.
- Finishing Steps:
- Heat honey just a bit. Stir it into juice well. Give it a taste test. Cool it down if you want. Split into shot glasses. Drink it right away.

My whole morning changed when I found these wellness shots. They give me such a natural lift and health boost that I now make a batch every Sunday for the coming week.
Keeping It Fresh
Keep these shots in small glass jars with tight lids in your fridge. Dark bottles will protect the nutrients better, but any glass works fine. Don't forget to shake them up before drinking since things tend to settle.
Changing With The Seasons
When cold bugs are going around, I throw in extra ginger and a tiny bit of cayenne. In hot weather, I'll sometimes add fresh mint leaves for a cooling effect.
