Here are five immunity-boosting recipes that can seamlessly fit into your post-holiday recovery plan
There are a variety of wellness shot recipes, each with a unique property. Of course, they all can help fight inflammation, improve immunity, and promote overall wellness, but each also contains a different ingredient to boost its health effect even more. You can store them in cubes for up to two weeks.
1) Lemon & Ginger - Anti-Inflammatory Shot
This scientifically formulated shot combines nature's most potent healing ingredients to create a breakthrough health remedy.
Ginger brings powerful antimicrobial properties, actively fighting off harmful microbes and supporting your body's natural defense systems.
Turmeric delivers intense anti-inflammatory benefits, while vitamin C provides a critical immune system boost.
This has shown promising potential in clinical studies for its ability to support the body's natural cancer-fighting mechanisms.
Pair this shot with Herb Tantra’s Digest Well Herbal Tea to further heal your gut and improve digestion.
2) Pineapple, Mint & Ginger Shot
Admittedly, many wellness-shot recipes can be hard to swallow due to their potency. If you’re a beginner, try this pineapple mint shot recipe. It tastes delicious!
Pineapples contain a group of powerful enzymes, called bromelain, which can help to support digestion and your overall gut health. Of course, the added ginger root helps to boost immunity, fight off unwanted microbes, and can also help to support digestion.
If you’re not used to the taste of ginger, start with only 1-2 inches worth.

3) Spinach, Cucumber and Celery Stem Shot
This shot is filled with lots of greens and leafy greens like spinach, cucumber, coriander steam, and mint which contain health-promoting minerals, such as magnesium, potassium, and iron. It's loaded with other plants like lutein and quercetin both of which have anti-inflammatory properties.
It also includes parsley, a natural diuretic. Parsley can help clear out water weight from the body (which is, more often than not, due to inflammation). On top of that, this is an excellent source of Vitamin K, which means it will be great for bone health.
I have also added ginger powder to take this wellness shot to the next level. Ginger contains Antioxidants, a group of plant compounds that help boost immunity. It's also a great way to naturally boost energy levels.
4) Beet & Apple Energy Shot
Beets are such an underrated superfood in so many ways. They contain pigments known as betalains that have several anti-inflammatory properties in them. They have even been shown to reduce high blood pressure.
The nitrates in beets can even help to naturally boost energy levels and brain function. Some athletes have even been known to consume beet juice and/or beetroot powder to enhance their athletic performance. Combine this with a reset exercise routine for a complete energy recharge.
To take this wellness shot to the next level, I’m also adding in Apple. This helps to support your adrenal glands, which ultimately helps to support overall hormonal balance in the body.
4) Gooseberry, Mint & Ginger Wellness Shot
This energetic wellness shot combines the power of three incredible, highly beneficial ingredients. As a potent super fruit with a high amount of vitamin C and antioxidants, it offers strong immune support and fights against oxidative stress. Mint adds refreshing twists to digestive benefits and natural cooling properties of the body. Ginger then brings its renowned anti-inflammatory properties and antimicrobial qualities combined synergistically to support the general wellness of the body.
5) Conclusion
Incorporating these natural immunity-boosting wellness shots into your routine is a simple yet effective way to prioritize your health. Each shot is packed with nutrient-dense, anti-inflammatory ingredients that work synergistically to support your immune system, improve digestion, and reduce inflammation. Whether you’re looking for a quick pick-me-up, a way to fight seasonal illnesses, or simply a boost to your overall vitality, these recipes are the perfect solution.
