Ginger Shot Recipes for Blenders and Slow Juicers

There is a simple way to benefit from the positive effects of ginger: Ginger shots. These are highly concentrated mini drinks made from ginger, which are sensationally good for colds, can boost your immune system or heat us up from the inside and stimulate the metabolism. But a ginger shot also helps against digestive problems - e.g after a heavy meal. A ginger shot works like a 'digestive' bitter, but without the alcohol.
You can make a ginger shot either classically with a slow juicer by juicing the ginger or you can use a high-speed blender and make a mini ginger smoothie, which is mixed with other ingredients such as honey and lemon juice.
Here are some recipes for both methods of preparation:

Ginger shot recipes for the blender
If you don't have a slow juicer at home, but you do have a high-spedd blender, you can easily make ginger shots with a high-speed blender. The difference is that you use the whole ginger, plus you need liquid like orange or lemon juice to blend it. We also add honey to sweeten it. If you prefer the vegan version, you can of course also use vegetable sweeteners such as agave syrup or maple syrup. However, honey has an advantage: It has an antibacterial effect and makes the ginger shot even more durable.
You can combine the Ginger Shot from the blender with other ingredients such as the anti-inflammatory turmeric. Turmeric isn't nearly as spicy as ginger, and that's why you can add some black pepper to this shot. Pepper improves the bioavailability of turmeric and enhances its absorption by the body. In terms of taste, orange juice goes perfectly with it - blood orange juice is also welcome.
Dosage and application
Ginger shots out of the blender are much spicier than from a slow juicer, we explicitly give a few more tips on dosage and application:
You can either drink it pure - about a shot glass of 1 cl (10 ml) or diluted with water in a ratio of 1:3 or even 1:4, just find your way! If you drink the Ginger Shot undiluted, expect to feel its fiery finish in your throat - it warms you up all the way to your stomach area.
Of course, the Ginger Shot from the blender can also be turned into a fresh tea with hot water - extremely beneficial for a cold. However, it loses heat-sensitive ingredients.

Ginger Shot Recipes for Slow Juicer
When preparing a ginger shot with a slow juicer, you don't need any ingredients other than ginger. The ginger is simply juiced, making it pure and milder to drink than when prepared with a blender. And yet, a juiced ginger shot has it all. Try it in small sips. If the ginger shot is too spicy for you, simply add a little water or add the juice of an apple - which of course was juiced. Both recipes shown here are for the slow juicers.

Thank you for your inquiry. A device demonstration like with Thermomix is not part of our marketing mix or customer service. Instead, we extensively present our blender and slow juicer models on our website; among other things, we provide numerous recipes that can be made in the blender besides smoothies. Furthermore, we attach great importance to promptly answering customer questions online or offline. And of course, you are warmly welcome to visit our store in Berlin-Kreuzberg.
Best regards,
Carla
of course you can do that, too. Tastes a bit more bitter and the consistency of the ginger shot is more pasty. Just try it out.
Best regards,
Carla
are all your recipes always a serving for 1 person? I miss this info every time.
Kind Regards
well, you can't give a general answer to that. It always depends on how much someone wants to drink or consume. With smoothies, it varies between 700-1500 ml per serving.
For the ginger shot: If you drink about 20 ml of it diluted with water every day, that's about 19 servings.
Best regards,
Carla
what kind of blender can I use to make healthy ginger turmeric shots?
with any of our high-speed blenders that you can find in our store, you can prepare ginger shots according to our instructions. For example, with the Wartmann blender or the Vitamix TNC 5200.
If you have any further questions, feel free to contact us!
Best regards,
Carla
Perhaps freshly pressed ginger shots are more durable than 24 hours, just give it a try. We have tested that the blended shots are durable for that long. Well, why is that? Mmhhh - maybe the honey preserves it, maybe the fiber - I don't know. But as a general rule, the fresher the shot is consumed, the more nutrients are retained.
Best regards,
Carla
We will gladly send you the ginger shot recipe PDF. Please register on the Ginger Shot page.

Tried the ginger turmeric shot today – Yummy!
I directly passed on the recipe to my mother. She is a
Ginger fan and is very enthusiastic!
Kind regards to Berlin, Katharina
Thank you so much for sharing and have fun exploring with your mom!:-)
Kind regards,
Carla
I have a question about the distortion amount. How much should I have a day or per drink?
Thanks a lot
Bianka
that can't be answered in a general way, as every individual has different needs. Suggestion for the start: Dilute approx. 20 ml with 80 ml water.
Kind regards, Carla
Thanks
Thank you both for the great recipes. Love, Elisabeth
thank you for the kind feedback – we are very pleased :)
Love,
Carla
Thanks for the great tip.
I had received a shot from my friend shortly before your mail. Therefore, I was thrilled about your recipes and also already tried it out. I am very excited. We like to drink our shot undiluted. It is recommended to warm it up a little and add a touch of coconut oil, allowing the body to process the turmeric better (that's how my friend explained it to me). Thanks for your great recipes and the informative website. Ellen
the S30 with its to-go cups is perfect for preparing a ginger shot. Thank you for your feedback. Was the ginger shot able to counteract your cold?
Love, Carla
thanks for the ginger shot recipes.
The Ginger Shot was also recommended to me by an alternative practitioner for prevention in times of colds (made with a juicer though)
I can't print the recipes as a PDF unfortunately, I don't get them. Signed up for the newsletter again, but it still doesn't work. Could you please send me the link to the PDF files – thanks!
have you already checked your SPAM folder? I just sent you the link for the ginger shot recipes. I hope it works this time.
Love, Carla
there are always nutrients in the peels – lemons also have essential oils in their peel, these essential oils are not only heathy but can also have a massive influence on the taste of the smoothie.
However, I would advise against using all lemon peels for taste reasons. Try it with a thin slice of lemon with peel. Kind regards, Carla
I prepared your recipe today with my Vitamix and am totally thrilled. At the beginning a bit spicy but then simply delicious. Regards from Bavaria:)
I also find the shot preparation in the blender super easy and the result is totally convincing. Thanks for your positive feedback, love, Carla
Best Regards Catrin
I would imagine that you could replace the 30 g of fresh turmeric with about 20 g of powder. However, I have never made the shots with turmeric powder, so this is just a rough estimate. Please let me know how you like the taste!
Kind regards, Carla
Slightly head the mixture after blending, adding good fat (ideal coconut fat). It also increases the body's absorption capacity for turmeric – probably through the lymphatic system. It doesn't get any better than that. I've been doing this for a long time, but now with my blender and no longer with the juicer. Goes much faster now, super.
And drank it right away. Very tasty. As I' m pregnant right now a friend told me to be careful, because the shot would be labor-promoting? Do you know anything about this topic? Regards, Kerstin
I'm glad you enjoyed the ginger-turmeric shot. I can't tell whether it promotes labour. There are hints on the web that ginger can induce labour. Maybe you should read up on it. Or just omit the shots until your baby:)
Love and all the best, Carla
Best Regards

Besides that, we drink a delicious green smoothie every day! Best Regards
Thanks for the answer.
Important nutrients can be found in the ginger peel and also directly underneath it. We do not want to miss them, whether in a shot or in a smoothie. Therefore, we use ginger and turmeric in organic quality. Kind regards, Carla
