Start Every day with a Lemon Ginger Shot

This morning shot wakes up your metabolism, skin, digestion, and mood — fast.
It’s clean, natural, and effective… and once you get into the routine, your skin and energy start to show it.

Ingredients

• 1 whole organic lemon, washed and quartered (including peel)

• 1-inch knob fresh ginger, peeled

• 2 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil (high-phenolic is ideal)

• 3 cups filtered water

• 1–2 tablespoons raw honey (optional)

• A dash of cinnamon for topping (optional)

Why Add These Ingredients? (Lemon-Ginger Shot Version)

Lemon:

Lemons are rich in vitamin C, a powerful antioxidant that supports collagen production and helps fight free radical damage—two major contributors to aging skin. Vitamin C brightens the complexion, reduces inflammation, and supports healthy immune function. Using the whole lemon including the peel provides extra phytonutrients and essential oils that support detoxification and digestion.

Ginger:

Ginger is loaded with anti-inflammatory and antioxidant compounds like gingerol. It supports digestion, eases bloating, boosts circulation, and helps stabilize blood sugar. For skin, ginger helps improve elasticity, stimulates collagen production, and reduces inflammation that contributes to puffiness or dullness.

Extra Virgin Olive Oil (EVOO):

High-phenolic EVOO supports hormone balance, decreases inflammation, and helps your body absorb fat-soluble nutrients. It also nourishes skin from the inside out by strengthening the skin barrier and supporting healthy cell regeneration. A little healthy fat first thing in the morning may also help stabilize blood sugar and reduce mid-morning cravings.

Raw Honey (Optional):

Raw honey has antibacterial and antiviral benefits, supports gut health with prebiotics, and adds a gentle sweetness. It also contains antioxidants that support glowing skin. (Skip if you’re doing strict low-carb or fasting.)

Cinnamon (Optional):

Cinnamon helps regulate blood sugar, reduce inflammation, and fight oxidative stress—making it a great skin-support ingredient. It pairs beautifully with lemon and ginger for added warmth and flavor.

Directions

1. Blend

Add the quartered lemon, peeled ginger, filtered water, EVOO, and honey (if using) to a high-speed blender.

2. Mix Thoroughly

Blend on high for 1–2 minutes until completely smooth and emulsified.

3. Strain

Pour through a fine-mesh strainer or nut milk bag into a mason jar or bowl. Discard the pulp.

4. Store

Transfer the liquid to an airtight container.
Refrigerate for up to 5 days.

5. Serve

Pour a 2–4 oz shot and top with cinnamon if desired.
Shake well before each use.

Tips and Variations

Add Turmeric + Black Pepper

If you want an even stronger anti-inflammatory morning elixir, add:

• 1 teaspoon fresh turmeric (or ¼ teaspoon ground)

• A pinch of black pepper

The pepper + EVOO dramatically improve curcumin absorption.

When to Take It

Most people take this:

• First thing in the morning
  
  

• On an empty stomach

• Before coffee

This timing supports better digestion, metabolism, and nutrient absorption.

Quality Matters

Use:

• Organic lemons

• Fresh ginger

• High-phenolic EVOO

Fresh, clean ingredients = stronger effect on skin, gut, inflammation, and hormones.
