đź’› The Story Behind the Shot
In my kitchen, I call this little powerhouse Liquid Gold—not just for its vibrant color, but for the healing energy it brings to my day. As a chef, a mom, and someone always on the go, I’m constantly looking for natural ways to support my body, especially during busy seasons or when I feel rundown.
This ginger turmeric shot is inspired by global wellness traditions—from Ayurvedic roots in India to citrus-based tonics in the Mediterranean. It's a simple blend of powerful ingredients that work together to reduce inflammation, boost immunity, and give you a clean energy lift—without the crash.
I love making a batch at the start of the week and storing it in the fridge or freezer. Just one small shot in the morning helps me feel more grounded, focused, and energized. It's my favorite form of self-care—quick, natural, and made with love.
If you're looking for a daily ritual that supports your body from the inside out, I hope this becomes one of your go-to recipes too.
