Ingredients

Scale

Base Ingredients

1 cup fresh pineapple, cubed (or substitute with pineapple juice)
1 cup coconut water

Flavor & Wellness Boosters

2 rounded tbsp fresh ginger, minced
1/2 lemon, juiced (about 2–3 tbsp)
2 tsp fresh turmeric, minced (optional, highly recommended)
Sprinkle of black pepper (if adding turmeric, to enhance absorption by 2000%)

Sweetener (Optional)

1–2 tbsp local honey (adds sweetness and health benefits)

Instructions

Prepare Ingredients: Cube fresh pineapple and mince the fresh ginger and turmeric if using. Juice half a lemon to measure about 2-3 tablespoons of lemon juice.
Blend: Place pineapple, coconut water, minced ginger, lemon juice, turmeric (if using), pepper, and honey (if using) into a high-powered blender. Blend for 30 seconds to a minute until smooth and well combined.
Strain: Using a wide-mouthed container and a fine mesh strainer, pour the blended mixture through and use a small spoon or spatula to press out the liquid. Alternatively, use a nut milk bag to squeeze out the juice completely.
Serve: Pour the strained wellness shot into small glasses. Enjoy immediately for maximum freshness and benefits. For a refreshing mocktail, dilute with additional coconut water or kombucha.

Notes

Fresh turmeric and black pepper together boost absorption of curcumin, turmeric’s active ingredient.
Use local honey to improve the flavor and add natural health benefits.
The shots can be stored refrigerated for up to 2 days, but are best enjoyed fresh.
Substitute pineapple juice if fresh pineapple is unavailable, but fresh cubed pineapple provides better texture and flavor.
Adjust sweetness by varying the amount of honey or omitting it for a more tart shot.
Nut milk bags are an effective tool for straining and squeezing out juice from blended mixtures, especially when pulp is thick.
