Lemon Olive Oil Wellness Shot
This lemon olive oil wellness shot whisks fresh lemon juice with good extra virgin olive oil and a pinch of black pepper into a quick 2-ingredient morning ritual, ready in 5 minutes. This isn’t a miracle cure, it’s just two things that taste better together than you’d expect and take fifteen seconds to shake up. Chase it with our lemon ginger turmeric wellness shot if one shot of intention isn’t enough for your morning. For a lighter, fruitier shot with no oil, try our triple citrus ginger wellness shot.
Quick answer: Fresh lemon juice shaken with good extra virgin olive oil, a pinch of black pepper, and a little ginger. A quick 2-ingredient morning ritual that takes 5 minutes and separates fast, so it's mixed fresh each time.
Instructions
Juice the lemon fresh and strain it if you prefer a smoother shot.
In a small jar or shaker, combine the lemon juice, olive oil, grated ginger if using, a pinch of salt, and a pinch of black pepper.
Shake or whisk vigorously for 15-20 seconds until the oil and juice emulsify into a cloudy blend. It separates again quickly, so drink right after mixing.
Divide between two small shot glasses and drink immediately.
Questions people actually ask
Olive oil and lemon juice are both genuinely good for you on their own; a morning shot isn't a miracle cure, but it's a reasonable way to start the day if you already enjoy both ingredients.
A good quality extra virgin olive oil matters here since it's half the flavor. A mild, fruity one is more approachable than a very peppery, bitter one if this is your first time trying it.
Not really, the oil and juice separate within minutes. Mix a fresh shot each time rather than batching it in the fridge.
Most people tolerate it fine, but if straight lemon juice bothers your stomach, try it with food instead, or dilute it with a splash of water.
