Why you should make homemade wellness shots!
Juice shots are a convenient way to pack a variety of nutrients into a single serving. Unlike store-bought options, you have total control over the ingredients. Plus, they’re incredibly versatile—you can customize the ingredients to suit your personal taste preferences and needs!
No special equipment or fancy juicer is needed to make these wellness shots! These shots can be made in a blender, with minimal clean-up. You just blend, run the juice through a strainer, and pour into your glass shot containers!
How to make homemade juice shots
The full recipe is in the recipe card at the bottom of the post! However, let’s dive into the benefits of the ingredients and step by step instructions!
Ingredients & their benefits
- Strawberries: Loaded with vitamin C, a potent antioxidant that supports collagen production, fights free radicals, and promotes a glowing complexion. They also contain ellagic acid, which can help prevent skin damage and hyperpigmentation!
- Beets: Beets are a superfood rich in betalains, which have anti-inflammatory and detoxifying properties. Beets support healthy blood flow, helping to deliver nutrients to your skin for a natural glow. You will use raw beets for the juicer method and pre-peeled and steamed beets for the blender method.
- Lemon: A citrus powerhouse, lemon is high in vitamin C and citric acid. It helps brighten skin, flush out toxins, and improve digestion—a factor for clear, radiant skin!
- Oranges: Another vitamin C-rich fruit, oranges are excellent for boosting immunity and hydration. Their natural sugars provide energy, while their antioxidants help combat signs of aging.
- Apple: Apples contain vitamin C and other antioxidants that help combat free radicals, promoting healthy skin and slowing the signs of aging. Apples have high water content, helping keep the skin hydrated. The fiber in apples aids digestion, promoting a clear and glowing complexion by removing toxins.
- Ginger: Ginger offers a range of beauty benefits, containing antioxidants like gingerol that combat free radicals, reducing the appearance of fine lines, wrinkles, & other signs of aging.
- Coconut water: Coconut water is an excellent natural hydrator due to its high water content & rich electrolyte composition, including potassium, sodium, & magnesium. It amazing for hydrating from the inside out!
- Aloe vera juice: This is totally optional, you can also use more coconut water. However, aloe vera is incredibly healing for the gut. Packed with vitamins C and E, and antioxidants, it also combats free radical damage, promoting youthful skin by reducing wrinkles & improving elasticity. Be sure to get a high quality Aloe Vera Juice. I use the brand Lily of the Dessert!
- Collagen: This is totally optional but adds in a dose of healthy gut and skin promoting properties!
Step by step instructions
These wellness shots are made in a blender without a juicer!
- Wash your produce. Add the strawberries, peeled and steamed beets, peeled orange, lemon, coconut water, and collagen to a blender, blending until super smooth.
- Place a fine mesh strainer over a large mason jar (or something similar) and pour the mixture through the strainer, using a spoon to press it down to get the juice through. You may not have much pulp – that’s normal! Then pour this mixture into your glass containers!
FAQ’s & Tips
- How many shots should I drink? 1-2 shots per day is great!
- Experiment: Add ingredients like ginger for an extra anti-inflammatory kick or a sprinkle of turmeric for its skin-enhancing properties (keep in mind these are strong in flavor!)
- How long do homemade wellness shots last in the fridge? These are best consumed within 3-5 days!

What collagen do you recommend please?

Amazing and nutritious!!
Hi! Aw yay, thank you so much for trying!!
What blender do you use?
Hi! I used my Beast Blender! I linked it in the blog post! Did you try them!?
if using raw beets do you cook and peel them first?
These actually tasted SO good, I don’t usually like wellness shots! Thank you for the recipe – also loved that you didn’t need a juicer!
Hi Lu! Yay, i’m so happy you liked them! I feel like they’re almost like little mini smoothies! Thanks for trying! (:
Is there a way to make them into delicious gummies using grass-fed beef gelatin? I already saw your watermelon electrolyte gummies (next go-to recipe to try out once our grass-fed beef gelatin comes in the mail!), but the flavor profile of this wellness shot seems out of this world! Not to mention, that pink is gorgeous and would brighten our fridge up🩷
Hi Xaia! So I haven’t tried it and am not sure the ratios/measurements that would work properly! However, I do have a beauty & gut health gummy recipe on my blog that you could possibly try and swap some of the ingredients for what’s in these! Let me know if you try it and how it turns out! (:
