Fructose 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 tablespoons — and it goes down fast. For anyone managing fructose sensitivity, wellness shots can be a minefield of hidden fruit juices, agave, and high-fructose sweeteners, but every ingredient here is straightforward and low-fructose by nature. The optional raw honey keeps sweetness minimal and entirely in your control, so you can leave it out or add just a touch depending on your tolerance. Turmeric and black pepper are a classic pairing — the pepper actually helps your body absorb the turmeric's active compounds, so that pinch is doing real work. Straining out the ginger pulp gives the shot a smooth, clean finish without any fibrous texture getting in the way. It comes together in minutes with a blender or even just a jar and a whisk, making it an easy addition to a morning routine.
