Prep time: 10 minutes
Servings: Makes about 3-4 bottles (Approx. 6–8 servings of 4 oz shots)
Dietary Profile: Low-Carb, Keto-Friendly, Dairy-Free, Gluten-Free, Sugar-Free option.
Ingredients
4 cups Fresh Strawberries (hulled and washed) – Packed with anthocyanins and Vitamin C to fight oxidative stress.
3-inch piece Fresh Ginger Root (peeled and sliced) – Contains gingerols, a potent natural pain-reliever.
2-inch piece Fresh Turmeric Root (or 1 tbsp high-quality turmeric powder) – The ultimate anti-inflammatory superstar.
1/4 tsp Black Pepper – Crucial! Piperine increases turmeric absorption by up to 2,000%.
2 Fresh Lemons (juiced) – Provides an alkaline-forming hit of citric acid to cleanse the system.
2 cups Pure Filtered Water (or coconut water if carbs aren’t a concern)
Optional Sweetener: 2 tbsp raw honey (traditional) OR a few drops of liquid stevia/monk fruit to keep it completely sugar-free.
Step-by-Step Instructions
Prep the Roots: Roughly chop your peeled ginger and turmeric to give your blender a head start.
Blend: Toss the strawberries, ginger, turmeric, lemon juice, black pepper, sweetener of choice, and water into a high-speed blender. Blend on high for 60–90 seconds until completely smooth.
Strain (Optional): If you prefer a crystal-clear shot like a classic wellness liqueur, pour the mixture through a fine-mesh strainer or nut milk bag into a large pot or pitcher. For a thicker, fiber-rich smoothie texture (as seen in the jar), skip the straining!
Bottle and Chill: Pour the vibrant pink mixture into clean glass bottles or airtight jars. Drop a fresh strawberry slice inside each for a beautiful visual touch. Chill in the refrigerator for at least 1 hour before serving.
