Ingredients:
- 1 small piece of fresh ginger (about 1 inch), peeled and chopped
- 1/2 lemon, juiced
- 1 teaspoon honey (optional)
- 1 cup cold water or coconut water
- 1/2 cup frozen pineapple chunks
- 1 small apple, cored and chopped
- A pinch of cayenne pepper (optional, for an extra kick)
Instructions:
- Place the chopped ginger, lemon juice, honey (if using), and cold water or coconut water into a blender.
- Add the frozen pineapple chunks and chopped apple to the blender.
- Blend on high speed until smooth and well combined. If the mixture is too thick, you can add more water to reach your desired consistency.
- Taste the smoothie and adjust sweetness or spiciness by adding more honey or cayenne pepper as needed.
- Pour the ginger shot smoothie into glasses and serve immediately.
Notes:
- Ginger is a potent ingredient, so start with a small piece and adjust to your taste preferences.
- This smoothie is best consumed fresh but can be stored in the refrigerator for up to one day. Give it a good stir before drinking if it separates.
- You can customize this recipe by adding other fruits like oranges, mangoes, or strawberries for added flavor and nutrients.
Feel free to adjust the ingredients and measurements based on your preferences and dietary needs. Enjoy your ginger shot smoothie!
