Ingredients for Pineapple Turmeric Wellness Shots

You’ll need just a few fresh ingredients for this recipe.

• 1 cup fresh pineapple chunks: Fresh pineapple provides sweetness and tropical flavor.
• 1-inch piece fresh turmeric root: Gives the shots their earthy flavor and golden color.
• 1-inch piece fresh ginger root: Adds a little warmth and spice.
• ½ lemon, peeled: Brightens the flavor and balances the sweetness.
• A pinch of black pepper (optional): Adds a little extra bite.

Fresh turmeric can sometimes be difficult to find at regular grocery stores. Check the produce section of a larger grocery store or a specialty market.

How to Make Pineapple Turmeric Wellness Shots

Prepare the ingredients. Wash the turmeric and ginger roots thoroughly. Peel the lemon and cut the pineapple into pieces that fit your juicer.

Juice the ingredients. Run the pineapple, turmeric, ginger, and lemon through your juicer according to the manufacturer’s instructions.

Stir the juice. Mix everything together well so the flavors are evenly distributed.

Add black pepper. If desired, stir in a small pinch of black pepper.

Serve immediately. Pour the juice into small glasses and enjoy fresh.

This recipe makes approximately one or two small wellness shots, depending on the amount of juice your ingredients produce.

Tips for Making Fresh Turmeric Shots

Be careful with turmeric stains. Fresh turmeric can stain your hands, cutting boards, and countertops. Use a cutting board you don’t mind staining and wipe up spills promptly.

Adjust the flavor. If the turmeric tastes too earthy, add extra pineapple. For a spicier shot, add a little more ginger.

Use fresh ingredients. Ripe pineapple gives the best flavor and natural sweetness.

No juicer? Blend the ingredients with a small amount of water until smooth, then strain through a fine-mesh strainer if you prefer a thinner drink.

Using My New Juicer

I recently started experimenting with homemade juices and wellness shots using my new Ninja NeverClog Cold Press Juicer.

I wanted an easy way to work with fresh ingredients like ginger, turmeric, pineapple, carrots, and citrus, and it’s been fun trying different combinations in my own kitchen.

Pineapple is a great ingredient to experiment with because its natural sweetness pairs well with stronger flavors like turmeric and ginger.

I’m continuing to try new combinations and will be sharing more homemade juice recipes as I go.

You don’t need complicated ingredients to get started. A few fresh fruits and roots can make a flavorful little drink right in your own kitchen.

How to Store Pineapple Turmeric Wellness Shots

These shots are best enjoyed fresh. If you have leftovers, transfer them to a clean, airtight container and refrigerate promptly.

Use them as soon as possible, and discard any that develop an unusual smell or appearance.

Fresh juice isn’t pasteurized, so handle it carefully and don’t leave it sitting at room temperature for extended periods.

Frequently Asked Questions

Can I use ground turmeric instead of fresh turmeric?

Fresh turmeric is best for this juicer recipe. Ground turmeric can be used in a blended drink, but it won’t juice the same way and may leave a gritty texture.

Can I make these wellness shots without ginger?

Yes! You can leave out the ginger for a milder flavor. The pineapple and lemon will still make a refreshing combination with the turmeric.

Pineapple adds natural sweetness and a tropical flavor that balances the earthy taste of turmeric and the spiciness of ginger.
