AIP Friendly Turmeric Ginger Shot
These little shots pack a serious punch — fresh turmeric root and ginger blended together with bright lemon juice create a bold, warming flavor that wakes you up from the first sip. The whole recipe leans on whole, unprocessed ingredients, which is exactly what makes it such a natural fit for an elimination-style approach to eating. No fillers, no additives, no guessing about what's hiding in a store-bought wellness shot. Raw honey adds just enough sweetness to balance the heat of the ginger without overwhelming the earthy depth of the turmeric. A pinch of Ceylon cinnamon is optional but worth it if you want a slightly warmer, more complex finish. Straining through cheesecloth or a fine-mesh sieve gives you a smooth, clean shot rather than a gritty sip, and the whole batch keeps in the fridge for up to three days so you can make it once and have your morning ritual ready to go. Four servings means you can share — or just keep them all to yourself.

4 servings
- 3 oz fresh turmeric root, peeled and roughly chopped
- 2 oz fresh ginger root, peeled and roughly chopped
- ½ cup fresh lemon juice (from about 3 lemons)
- ¼ cup cold water
- 1 tbsp raw honey
Ingredient noteAIP restricts added sweeteners, but small occasional amounts of unrefined honey are accepted on the protocol; the ~3/4 teaspoon per serving here likely stays within that limited allowance. If you prefer to always avoid honey, please tap it and change its rating to Red.
- ⅛ tsp ceylon cinnamon (optional)
Instructions
- 1
Combine the turmeric, ginger, lemon juice, and cold water in a blender. Blend on high for 30–45 seconds until the mixture is as smooth as possible.
- 2
Pour the blended mixture through a fine-mesh strainer or cheesecloth set over a small pitcher, pressing firmly on the solids with the back of a spoon to extract as much liquid as possible. Discard the pulp.
