I don’t always associate ‘shots’ with feeling good in the morning, but then I ditched the tequila and started incorporating health shots into my morning routine.
‘Wellness’ or ‘health’ shots are essentially condensed versions of cold-pressed juices that provide a quick, easy burst of lots of important nutrients.
Different shots can provide you with different nutrients and benefits, which is why it’s important to find the right shot or combination of shots for you.
Sir Fruit is serving up shots that pack a punch in two sips or less, with the added bonus that they taste really good.
Incorporating superfood ingredients that are packed full of antioxidants and minerals, Sir Fruit’s Raw Health Shots are an on-the-go health kick that fit perfectly into your busy lifestyle.
Let’s run through the four options, with a look at what each one brings to the table.
Daily Green
This shot combines apple, cucumber, lemon, spinach, and kale to give you a vitamin C kick like no other. Kale is also a great source of potassium and calcium, and spinach is a source of iron. It’s the easiest way to get in your daily greens.
Fiery Ginger
This delicious combination of apple, ginger and lemon can help reduce inflammation, soothe digestive issues, and enhance immune function.
Take it in the morning after your first cup of coffee for a bit of a boost.
Pomegranate
Pomegranate fruit contains many phytonutrients and antioxidants that fight off inflammation, disease, and toxins that have found their way into your body.
This pure pomegranate shot harnesses the power of this amazing fruit, and is great if you’re on a detox.
Spicy Turmeric
Curcumin is the main active ingredient in turmeric. It has powerful anti-inflammatory effects and is a very strong antioxidant. It neutralises free radicals on its own but also stimulates your body’s own antioxidant enzymes.
I keep a supply of the Fiery Ginger shots in my fridge and I’m pretty sure they’re the reason I made it through winter without needing to take a sick day.
Our office doesn’t stand for people with the sniffles infecting their co-workers, so that’s quite a feat.
To stock up, look out for your favourite health shots at many of the country’s leading grocery stores, or visit the Sir Fruit website for more info on where to find them.
