Tips from the Eating Well Test Kitchen

These are the key tips we learned while developing and testing this recipe in our Test Kitchen to make sure it works, tastes great and is good for you too! 

• A high-speed blender is best at pulverizing fibrous ingredients like carrots, fresh ginger and turmeric. If you don’t have a high-speed blender, a regular blender will work, but may take longer to blend. If your shots still aren’t smooth, you can pass the mixture through a strainer fitted with cheesecloth to remove any unblended pieces.
• Fresh turmeric is our first choice here. It has a more vibrant, earthy and slightly citrus flavor compared to ground dried turmeric. But if you can’t find fresh, ground turmeric can be used in its place. 

Nutrition Notes

Carrots are jammed with beta carotene, an antioxidant that our bodies convert to vitamin A. In addition to keeping your eyes and skin healthy, vitamin A is key for a strong immune system.

Orange juice might be one of the healthiest juices out there. For starters, it’s loaded with vitamin C, which keeps your immune system strong and calms body-wide inflammation. It’s also a helpful source of potassium, a nutrient we need for healthy blood pressure.

Turmeric and ginger are a classic pairing that brings loads of flavor—and anti-inflammatory punch—to these shots. And both can do good things for your digestive health. For instance, turmeric contains curcumin, which may alleviate colitis-related pain, while ginger can help soothe an upset stomach and nausea.
