Want to dip your toe into the world of wellness shots? Here are 8 of the best and why you may consider adding to your daily routine.
A little different to the shots you are perhaps used to… wellness shots are small ‘shot-able’ drinks that are usually packed with natural ingredients that can support our health.
Common ingredients include:
Think of them as a quick and convenient way to get some goodness into your body – no kitchen or blender necessary!
Each shot will have its own unique benefits, depending on what ingredients have been used.
We've rounded up 8 of the best wellness shots available today, either in shops or using your very own kitchen.
Beetroot shots are a source of potassium, manganese and folic acid.1
What our customers think:
Runner560 – Great stuff!! – 5/5 stars
“I bought this to take before training sessions (100-mile runs) and it does give you an extra boost which is very noticeable. I was unsure about buying it due to not particularly being keen on the taste of beetroot, but I need not have worried as it’s not too bad."
Ginger not only brings hearty warmth to curries and other delish meals, it can also support your joint health.
What our customers think:
GI539 – Great product – 5/5 stars
“This is a great shot. It takes wonderful and also the amount that you get is on a reasonable price compared to lots of other places which sell the same shots. I would definitely recommend trying this one out. I usually stock up when they have their offer on!”
Turmeric is a bright and mighty spice that has long played a significant role in traditional medicine.
Most widely known as the ingredient in spicy Indian food that turns it yellow, it also has a range of health benefits.
What our customers think:
9711elise – Delighted to have found these guys – 5/5 stars
“Will be buying weekly easy to drink tastes great. Takes the hassle out of juicing turmeric root.”
Want to enjoy the benefits of CBD but don’t like the taste of CBD oil?
A CBD shot could be for you!
What our customers think:
Anonymous – Bumblezest is the best! – 5/5 stars
“My partner and I are totally addicted to these drinks! My favourite is the Ginger, Turmeric and CBD. Such a great little tonic with delicious zesty flavours - I always feel so fresh and alive after drinking one. I highly recommend these to everyone!”
Annonymous – CBD shot – 5/5 stars
“Brilliant healthy shot I think. Need more flavours.”
Collagen naturally occurs in our bodies, but it starts to decline with age, which is why some people are now choosing to supplement with it.
It makes up a large proportion of our bones, joints, skin, hair and nails.
What our customers think:
Dani B – Shiny skin – 5/5 stars
“Great product, everyone noticed how shiny my skin was after just a couple of weeks. Taste a bit sharp but you soon get used to the taste.”
AliHart95 - Love it! - 5/5 stars
"I have been taking these skin supplements for a while now and I absolutely love them! Even my friends and fam have noticed my skin has looked a lot better! :-)"
You can’t simply sip apple cider vinegar raw, as it could burn your mouth and throat, so why not make your own apple cider vinegar shot?
This ACV shot serves 1, but can be modified to make in bulk.
1
Simply combine the juice and vinegar in a small jar or bottle and give it a good old shake.
2
Cover and leave in the fridge for up to 2-3 days.
3
Drink when you’re ready!
We already discussed the potential health benefits of a pre-packaged ginger shot above; a homemade one should be pretty much the same!
Here’s a recipe for a 1 lemon and ginger shot drink (adjust if you want to make multiple shots at the same time).
1
Peel the ginger and roughly chop before adding to your blender and blitzing for a few seconds.
2
Add in the rest of the ingredients and blend until smooth.
3
Cover and leave in the fridge for up to 2-3 days.
4
Drink your yummy lemon ginger shot when you’re ready.
For a shot to be called an ‘immunity shot’, it should contain ingredients that support your natural immunity.
It works to ensure your immune system is functioning properly.
Try this lemon, ginger & turmeric shot recipe (makes 1 shot – but can modified to make in bulk):
1
Peel the ginger and roughly chop before adding to your blender and blitzing for a few seconds.
2
Add in the rest of the ingredients and blend until smooth.
3
Cover and leave in the fridge for up to 2-3 days.
4
Drink your tasty immunity-supporting shot when you’re ready.
