Pineapple Ginger Shot

Ginger is known and loved for its ability to aid in digestion and boost the immune system. While it is a popular ingredient in many different cuisines, ginger is also a great addition to juices and smoothies. By itself, it can be very spicy, so this ginger shot recipe contains pineapple to add a bit of sweetness. If you prefer a milder ginger flavor, simply add more water after the first round of blending.
