Citric Acid Free Wheatgrass & Ginger Wellness Shot
This little green shot packs a serious punch of earthy wheatgrass, warming ginger, and bright lemon into just a couple of sips. It comes together in minutes with no cooking required — just blend, strain, and pour. The fresh ginger and turmeric bring natural heat and depth, while a drizzle of raw honey softens the edge without masking the bold, grassy flavor underneath. A pinch of black pepper is a smart finishing touch, helping the turmeric do its thing. For anyone navigating a citric acid sensitivity, lemon juice squeezed straight from the fruit is the cleanest route — no additives, no preservatives, just the real thing. Serve it immediately after straining so you get the full vibrancy of every ingredient at its freshest.
