Lemon Ginger Turmeric Wellness Cubes (Printable Version)

Frozen cubes combining lemon, ginger, and turmeric for convenient daily wellness shots

# What You'll Need:

→ Citrus

01 - 3 large lemons, juiced (approximately 3/4 cup fresh lemon juice)

→ Roots & Spices

02 - 2-inch piece fresh ginger root, peeled and chopped
03 - 2-inch piece fresh turmeric root, peeled and chopped, or 1 teaspoon ground turmeric
04 - 1/8 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper

→ Liquid

05 - 1 cup filtered water

→ Sweetener

06 - 1 to 2 tablespoons honey or maple syrup (optional)

# Directions:

01 - Add lemon juice, chopped ginger, chopped turmeric or ground turmeric, filtered water, black pepper, and sweetener if using to blender carafe.
02 - Blend on high speed for 1 to 2 minutes until mixture reaches smooth consistency.
03 - Pour blended mixture through fine-mesh sieve or cheesecloth into a bowl, pressing gently to extract liquid while removing pulp solids.
04 - Divide strained liquid evenly among ice cube tray compartments, filling each section to the top.
05 - Place filled tray in freezer for minimum 2 hours or until cubes are completely solid.
06 - Remove 2 cubes per serving and dissolve in warm water, add to smoothies, or consume as concentrated wellness shot.

# Expert Suggestions:

01 -
  • Two frozen cubes dissolve into a warming drink that tastes nothing like punishment and everything like self-care.
  • Make them once and you've got wellness shots ready for 24 mornings without the daily blending chaos.
  • The ginger delivers real heat that wakes you up better than coffee ever could, minus the afternoon crash.
  • Your body actually absorbs the turmeric thanks to that black pepper trick, so you're not just sipping hope.
02 -
  • That black pepper isn't just seasoning—curcumin (turmeric's active compound) barely absorbs in your body without it, which is why this detail actually matters for the whole wellness purpose.
  • Straining is not optional no matter how impatient you feel, because chunks of ginger freeze solid and make these impossible to dissolve smoothly in warm water.
03 -
  • If your blender struggles, add the water first, then layer in the softer lemon juice and spices—it blends faster and more evenly.
  • Taste your mixture before freezing and adjust sweetness then, because frozen things taste slightly less flavorful, so a barely-sweet batch will freeze nearly flavorless.
