I am guilty! I love the juice bars. Who doesn’t, right? That green juice, the immunity wellness shots, and the delicious smoothies. However, it’s a bad habit to get these good things. It can really add up, especially with kids in tow.
So, to be honest, I really like making my own immunity shots at home. They are much fresher. I’m in control of the quality of ingredients, and it costs a fraction of the price.
My fave choice is a pineapple ginger lemon juice that I either make as a shot or a whole drink. It literally makes my skin glow and I feel like it’s a body reset. Stuff like this, that’s what goodness is made of.
Maybe I sound funny, but I DO feel like I am glowing after I drink this.

Notes
- Use your strainer if you want to skim some of the pineapple foam from the top of the juice, but the pineapple foam is fine. It’s personal preference.
- Use the strainer to get a smooth immunity shot juice. You can double strain for even more smoothness.
- Be sure to use a very high power blender for the maximum extraction of the ginger and pineapple.
- Use a mason glass jar or glass carafé for best storage. Do not use plastic or metal.
- Use the spoon to help extract as much juice as possible from the wire mesh strainer.
- You CAN adjust the ingredients to your preference. Personally, the more ginger the better for me so this recipe will be packing the heat. Feel free to use less ginger if you like.
