💡 Expert Tips
First, ensure your fruits and veggies are thoroughly washed to remove any pesticides and dirt before juicing.
Second, use a high-quality juicer to extract the maximum amount of liquid and nutrients.
Third, drink your juice shots on an empty stomach to maximize absorption and benefits.
Lastly, remember that less is more; small quantities can be more beneficial for easing digestive discomfort.
🥡 Storage
For optimal storage of your juice shots, keep them in a BPA-free, airtight container in the fridge; they should stay fresh for up to 48 hours. If you need to revive a shot's chill before drinking, stir or shake it well after taking it out of the fridge.
Freeze the juice in an ice cube tray or small freezer-safe containers. This method preserves the juice for up to a month and allows quick thawing by removing the needed amount.

❓ FAQ
It's typically best enjoyed cold, but you can drink it at room temperature.
Yes, although a juicer is recommended for clearer juice and less exposure to heat, hence reducing oxidation and nutrient loss, a blender can also work if you strain the mixture afterward.
Drinking them on an empty stomach can maximize the digestive benefits.
What juicer to use?
I always recommend using a cold-press juicer rather than a centrifugal juicer, as this is the best way to preserve your juice's natural flavor and nutrients.

Juice for Bloating Relief Shots
Equipment
Directions
For Using a Cold Press Juicer:
- Prep all ingredients by washing and cutting them as needed to fit your juicer.
- Start by juicing the softer ingredients first, like strawberries, lemon, and cucumber. Add also beets if using cooked ones. Follow with harder ingredients such as beets (if uncooked) and ginger.
- Stir the juice before serving or storing to mix all the flavors evenly. Store in small shot-sized mason jars with lids in the refrigerator. Save the pulp for smoothies.
For Using a Blender:
- Prepare your ingredients by washing and roughly chopping them.
- Place all ingredients into the blender, adding one cup of water if needed to facilitate blending. Blend on high until the mixture is completely smooth.
- Use a fine mesh strainer or cheesecloth to strain the juice into a container, pressing the solids to extract as much liquid as possible.
- Save the pulp for another use, and then make sure to stir the juice before drinking.

Notes
