Recently I posted an article on vitamins. We generally try to get as much as we can from the kitchen first though. Whenever possible it's also a good idea to give yourself a boost. Here are 4 "shots" that you can get that boost of vitamins and minerals to help keep you healthy.
Prep time: 5 minutes
Total time: 5 minutes
INGREDIENTS
Carrot Turmeric Shot
3 carrots
1 lemon, peeled
1″ ginger
½ tsp. turmeric
Beetroot Lemon Shot
1 beetroot, including tops if possible
1 apple
1 lemon, peeled
Leafy Greens Shot
1 lime
1 handful leafy greens (kale or spinach)
1 handful herbs (mint or parsley)
2 sticks celery
1 kiwifruit
Cayenne Ginger Shot
1 lemon, peeled
4″ ginger

3. You may need to add some water to help blend.
4. Pour into a nut bag or cheesecloth and squeeze all the moisture out.
