Food Prep 👩🏽🍳
Homemade wellness shots because the store bought ones are way too pricey💸
The little bottles are from Temu. I got a 6 pack but trellises I should’ve gotten the 12 because I had juice leftover. I know making homemade wellness shots are nothing new. But I wanted to show how you can make these and not break the bank on organic things.
All items except for the lemons (those came from my tree) are from Aldi’s! I went in with a budget of $15 and spent $12.50 although I think if I had bought the lemons it would’ve been slightly closer to $15. With the amount bought I could’ve made about 12 bottles ☺️
I decided to reduce the amount of lemon and oranges vs what’s shown in the cover photo but when it comes to making wellness shots it depends on how sweet or spicy you want them!
Ingredients👩🏽🍳:
2 cucumber
1 pineapple
2 lemons
2 oranges
2-3 pieces of ginger
Wellness shots have gained popularity as quick, nutrient-packed boosts for immunity and overall health. Making them at home offers a cost-effective way to enjoy these concentrated drinks without the premium price of store-bought versions. Common ingredients like cucumber provide hydration and vitamins, pineapple contributes antioxidants and natural sweetness, while lemon and orange add vitamin C and a refreshing tang. Ginger imparts anti-inflammatory properties and a spicy kick, enhancing the wellness benefits. When preparing wellness shots, balancing sweetness and spiciness is key. You can adjust the quantities of lemon, orange, and ginger depending on your taste preference for a milder or more intense flavor. Using fresh, organic produce from local grocers like Aldi’s helps keep costs down, and growing your own citrus fruits, such as lemons, is an excellent way to ensure freshness and save money. Storing your wellness shots in small bottles, like those available from Temu, helps preserve their freshness and makes them convenient for daily use. Preparing about 12 bottles from a $15 budget demonstrates how accessible homemade wellness shots are for maintaining a healthy routine. Incorporating these shots into your daily diet can support digestion, boost immune function, and provide a natural energy lift, helping you stay healthy throughout the year.
