How To Make Homemade Immunity Shots
If you are looking for a natural way to boost your immune health these homemade immunity shots are perfect! They are simple, and cheap to make, and are FULL of antioxidants and vitamins essential for immune health.
You can find all kinds of immunity shots at different grocery stores. They all seem to vary slightly in ingredients, but one thing is for sure, they are all so expensive!! If you want to get all the benefits from them without spending a ton of money, you need to make them at home.
These immunity shots can be made in 20 minutes and stored in the fridge to take one every day. In these shots you will find things like fresh ginger, turmeric, cayenne, lemon and orange. All amazing for your health, full of vitamins and anti inflammatory.
While these shots are mainly for immunity they can also support gut health so are great to take on a daily basis. We like to take them first thing on an empty stomach but later on in the day is fine too. You can pre portion them into little shot containers OR to keep it simple like we do, just store them in a large jar in your refrigerator!
Tips for Making Homemade Immunity Shots
- If you can use organic ingredients for these. Because you are taking them as a health supplement, using organic ingredients will ensure you are not getting extra junk in your shots that you don’t want.
- Use a good blender. To keep it simple these are just made with a blender and not a juicer. However, that means you want a good blender that will be able to chew through all the ingredients.
- Make sure to strain the shots before storing them. There will be some little chunk bits floating throughout (the pulp), and straining those out will make these shots much more enjoyable and smooth to drink.
Immunity Shot Ingredients
Lemon– Full of vitamin c for immune health and also great for gut health.
Orange– Any large orange is fine. It will add sweetness and tons of vitamin c.
Ginger- You want fresh ginger, and you don’t have to peel it.
Cayenne– Powdered cayenne is good. This does add spice, but is very anti-inflammatory, great for digestion and congestion. If you are worried about the kick, you can reduce the amount slightly.
Turmeric– Fresh or powdered works. Full of antioxidants and a great anti- inflammatory for over all health and pain.
Black Pepper– This may seem weird, but black pepper is essential in helping with the absorption on turmeric. Don’t skip this.
Maple Syrup– This is added for a bit of sweetness to counteract the heat but is also rich in minerals and antioxidants!
Apple Cider Vinegar- I like to add this to kick start your gut and support healthy digestion.
The Steps
- Start by adding all of the ingredients to a large blender.
- Then, blend until nice and smooth.
- Place a sieve over a large bowl, then pour the juice into the bowl, running it all through the sieve to strain out the pulp.
- Once you have nice smooth juice, pour it into jars, screw on the lid and store in the refrigerator.
- Take one shot every morning on an empty stomach.

A vibrant juice shot packed full of antioxidants, and immune boosting vitamins. Made from ginger, lemons, oranges and turmeric. * If you are worried about the kick from the cayenne, you can start with a smaller amount, however it is extremely good for you! * If you want to make the shots a little less strong, you can increase the amount of water to 4 1/2 cups. * These shots can be stored in large jars (thats how I do it) or you can store them in little shot jars if you have them.
