Ingredients
Scale
- 1 pound carrots, peeled and roughly chopped
- 2–3 inches ginger, peeled and roughly chopped
- 1 inch turmeric (optional), peeled and roughly chopped
- 1/2 lemon (optional), juiced
- 1/2 cup water, more or less to adjust consistency
- Pinch of black pepper (if using turmeric)
Instructions
- Wash, peel, and chop all your ingredients into manageable pieces. This will help your blender work more efficiently.
- Combine all the ingredients in a high-powered blender. Add the water and blend until smooth. If the mixture is too thick, add a little more water until you reach your desired consistency.
- If you prefer a smoother shot, strain the mixture through a fine-mesh sieve or nut milk bag. This will remove any fibrous bits.
- Pour the carrot & ginger gut shot into a small glass and drink immediately. For best results, consume it on an empty stomach.
- If you’re not drinking the shot right away, store it in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 24 hours. The flavors might mellow slightly over time.
