Lemon Ginger Turmeric Wellness Cubes (Print)

Frozen citrus-spice cubes blending lemon, ginger, and turmeric for easy wellness shots

# Components:

→ Citrus

01 - 3 large lemons, juiced (about 3/4 cup juice)

→ Roots & Spices

02 - 2-inch piece fresh ginger, peeled and chopped
03 - 2-inch piece fresh turmeric, peeled and chopped (or 1 teaspoon ground turmeric)

→ Liquid

04 - 1 cup filtered water

→ Sweetener

05 - 1-2 tablespoons honey or maple syrup (optional, for taste)

→ Seasoning

06 - 1/8 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper

# Directions:

01 - Place lemon juice, chopped ginger, chopped turmeric (or ground turmeric), water, black pepper, and sweetener (if using) in a blender. Blend on high speed until completely smooth, approximately 1-2 minutes.
02 - Pour the blended mixture through a fine-mesh sieve or cheesecloth into a clean bowl. Press firmly with a spatula to extract maximum liquid, discarding the remaining pulp.
03 - Carefully pour the strained liquid into an ice cube tray, filling each compartment to just below the rim. Place in freezer for at least 2 hours or until completely solid.
04 - Remove 2 cubes per serving. Dissolve in a glass of warm water, blend into smoothies, or consume directly as a concentrated wellness shot. Store remaining cubes in a freezer-safe bag for up to 2 months.

# Expert Advice:

01 -
  • One concentrated cube packs the punch of an entire wellness shot without the sketchy additives
  • Making them in bulk means you actually have healthy options ready when life gets chaotic
  • The combination of spicy ginger and bright lemon wakes up your taste buds before caffeine even touches your cup
02 -
  • Fresh turmeric stains countertops and cutting boards permanently, so work on a surface you do not care about
  • If your blender struggles with the ginger chunks, add the water first and pulse before adding the lemon juice
  • These cubes last up to two months but they probably will not survive that long once you taste them
03 -
  • Freeze some lemon juice alone in separate cubes for when you want to dilute the intensity
  • Run your ice cube tray under warm water for exactly three seconds to release stubborn cubes
