Instructions
Step 1: Prepare the Produce
Wash the oranges, carrots, ginger, and lemon thoroughly. Peel the oranges, carrots, and ginger. Chop the carrots into small pieces to help them blend more easily.
Step 2: Blend the Ingredients
Add the oranges, chopped carrots, ginger, lemon juice, turmeric, black pepper, and water to a high-speed blender.
Blend for 1–2 minutes until the mixture is completely smooth.
Step 3: Strain (Optional)
If you prefer a smoother wellness shot, pour the mixture through a fine mesh strainer or cheesecloth into a bowl or measuring jug.
Press gently with a spoon to extract as much liquid as possible.
If you enjoy extra fiber, skip this step and drink it as is.
Step 4: Sweeten (Optional)
Taste the mixture. If your oranges are slightly tart, stir in honey or maple syrup until dissolved.
Step 5: Chill
Transfer the wellness shot to glass bottles or jars.
Refrigerate for at least 30 minutes for the best flavor.
Shake well before serving, as natural separation is normal.
