Ginger Turmeric Wellness Shots (No Juicer Needed!)
Ginger is a powerhouse ingredient in my kitchen. Aside from being a huge flavor booster, ginger can help boost your immune system, improve indigestion, soothe nausea, and it is a powerful inflammatory agent. I love to keep these shots on hand, and prefer to consume them first thing in the morning on an empty stomach, or before and after meals to help aid digestion.
