Ingredients
- 1 cup frozen wild blueberries
- 1 ounce fresh peeled ginger root
- 1 tablespoon honey
- 1 cup water
- (optional) Juice from 1/2 lemon (about 1½ tablespoons)
Instructions
- Blend Ingredients: Combine the frozen wild blueberries, fresh peeled ginger root, honey, water, and optional lemon juice in a high-powered blender. Blend on high speed for 30 seconds until smooth and well combined.
- Strain the Mixture: Pour the blended mixture through a fine-mesh strainer into a glass jar or measuring cup. Use a spoon to press the pulp against the strainer to extract as much juice as possible, leaving the pulp behind. Discard the pulp.
- Serve or Store: Pour the juice into shot glasses to serve immediately or mix into sparkling water for a refreshing drink. You can also freeze the juice in ice cube trays or store any remaining juice in a glass bottle or mason jar in the refrigerator for up to 5 days.
Notes
- Use fresh or frozen wild blueberries depending on availability; frozen berries add a chilled texture.
- Adjust the amount of honey to taste or substitute with a natural sweetener of your choice.
- Straining helps achieve a smooth juice free of pulp; you may skip this step if you prefer a fiber-rich shot.
- For an extra immunity boost, consider adding a pinch of turmeric or cayenne pepper before blending.
- Store leftover juice in an airtight container in the fridge and consume within 5 days for freshness.
