This recipe is your reminder that summer is not over, despite the many fall-inspired recipes hitting the internet lately.
Don’t get me wrong; I love comforting dishes, decorating the house with pumpkins while watching a spooky movie, and cozying up in front of a fireplace.
But I’m not ready to let summer slip away just yet. To me, summer ending doesn’t only mean the loss of sunshine and warmth!
For now, I’ll stick to making these Pineapple Coconut Lemon Ginger Juice Wellness Shots. ☀️🍋
4-Ingredient Pineapple Coconut Lemon Ginger Juice Wellness Shots Recipe
Ingredients Needed
Do you have a habit of buying wellness shots at the grocery store? You may have noticed they can get expensive if you buy them individually (or even in cases of 4).
Making them at home is cheaper, plus you can adjust the recipe to your liking.
And unlike some juices, you can guarantee your homemade juice ingredients are free from added sugars, colors, and preservatives. ✅✅✅
Just four fresh and nutritious ingredients are needed to make this Pineapple Coconut Lemon Ginger Juice Wellness Shots Recipe:
- Pineapple: Provides a sweet base rich in vitamin C and bromelain.
- Pressed Coconut Water (See: Pressed Coconut Water vs Regular): Hydrates and replenishes electrolytes.
- Lemons: Adds a tangy twist, packed with antioxidants and vitamin C.
- Ginger: For a spicy kick and offers anti-inflammatory properties.
The pineapple is sweet and tart, the coconut water mildly nutty, the lemons sour and bright, and the ginger sharp and spicy. It’s such a great juice-shot flavor combo!
Health Benefits of Ginger Shots Ingredients
1. Pineapple Juice
Pineapples are low in calories and offer considerable amounts of nutrients, such as vitamin C, which is essential for things like immune health and iron absorption. It’s also rich in manganese which offers antioxidant properties.
Pineapples also:
- Are rich in manganese which offers antioxidant properties that may fight various diseases
- Contain an enzyme, bromelain, which may enhance your immune function, reduce the risk of certain cancers, speed recovery after surgery or exercise, ease symptoms of inflammatory arthritis due to its anti-inflammatory properties, and ease the digestion of meat

2. Coconut Water
Coconut water is a naturally sweet, trendy beverage filled with tons of vitamins and minerals. It contains only a tiny amount of fat and is made up of 94% water, making it perfect for staying hydrated during these sizzling summer days.
Check out this list of evidence-based health benefits of coconut water:
- It may have antioxidant properties that help modify free radicals, so they no longer cause damage
- People living with diabetes may notice lower blood sugar levels.
- It may help prevent kidney stones (two small studies show coconut water can be even better at this than regular water alone).
- Coconut water may support heart health.
- It restores hydration and replenishes electrolytes lost during strenuous exercise

3. Lemon Juice
We LOVE lemons in the Geiger household. This year I’m really starting to get into gardening, and one thing I want so bad is a lemon tree!
The only thing is, it would be sad for me to have it planted and then have the military move us before we get to enjoy the fruits of our labor. 🥺
Not only are lemons delicious, but they can also be used for lemon DIY cleaning spray, and in many other ways!
The following list consists of evidence-based health benefits of lemons:
- Supports heart health: Lemons are high in vitamin C and beneficial plant compounds (hesperidin and diosmin) that may lower cholesterol.
- Helps control weight: Studies show that lemon extract and plant compounds may promote weight loss in animals, but the effects in humans are unknown.
- Prevents kidney stones: Citric acid may help prevent kidney stones by increasing urine volume and increasing urine pH.
- Protects against anemia: Lemons improve your absorption of iron from plant foods.
- Reduces cancer risk: Some plant chemicals found in lemons have been shown to prevent cancer in animal studies; however, human studies are needed.
- Improves digestive health: To benefit from the soluble fiber found in lemons, you need to eat the pulp of the lemon, not just drink the juice.

4. Ginger Juice
Ginger is one of the healthiest spices in the world. I love cooking with it and especially consuming it in its raw form. Ginger has amazing effects on the body and is so beneficial to overall health.
- Ginger contains gingerol which has powerful antioxidant and anti-inflammatory properties and may also help prevent cancer.
- It can treat nausea related to chemotherapy, nausea after surgery, and morning sickness.
- Ginger promotes weight loss and prevents obesity due to its potential to help increase the number of calories burned and reduce inflammation.
- It can help with osteoarthritis, especially in the knee.
- Ginger may lower blood sugars and improve heart disease risk factors.
- It can help treat indigestion.
- Ginger may significantly reduce menstrual pain.
- It may lower cholesterol levels.
- Ginger may improve brain function and protect against Alzheimer’s disease.
- It can help fight infections.

How to Make the Pineapple Coconut Lemon Ginger Juice Wellness Shots Recipe (Without a Juicer)
This recipe is so quick and easy. All you need is ten minutes, a blender, a fine mesh strainer, and a rubber spatula. You can also use your favorite juicer if you have one!
1. Wash the Ginger and Cube the Pineapple
First, you’re going wash the ginger either with your hands or a vegetable scrubber brush. You don’t even need to peel it!
Next, cut your pineapple into cubes (check out Evolving Table’s guide on How to Cut a Pineapple).
2. Blend and Strain the Ginger and Pineapple
If you have a small blender and need to blend in batches like me, make sure you blend some pineapple with the ginger, along with enough water to give the ginger the push it needs to begin blending.
You’ll have more pineapple than ginger; so, blend the remainder of the pineapple. Then over a large bowl, press the juice through the fine mesh strainer using a rubber spatula until you’re left with only the pulp.
Instead of tossing the ginger/pineapple pulp, you may want to try making Pulp Pantry’s tea, or try some of these other ways to reuse pulp after juicing!
3. Stir in Coconut Water and Lemon Juice
It can’t get easier than that! You can serve these wellness shots individually in tiny glass vials or store the juice in a mason jar. Separation is normal. Shake well before drinking!
A recommendation would be to add these wellness shots to the table at a baby shower, wedding, or other party/gathering! It would add a beautiful color pop. 🍍😊

Not really a fan of ginger, but I see ginger shots a lot at stores 🙂
Mina: ginger is definitely not for everyone! It can be pungent and spicy, but I love it for the health benefits. The sweetness from the pineapple does offset the spiciness of the ginger in this recipe, however. 😊

Hi, I can see from the ingredients and the process. This recipe would be so delicious and healthy right now. I am trying to repair and build a strong, healthy, microbiome ..
I am thinking of using your ingredients and instead of removing all the pulp, keeping it and having it like that to eat all that beautiful fiber. What are your thoughts?
Hi Sylvia! Thanks so much for reaching out. You can certainly leave the pulp in the juice! Alternatively, if you prefer juice with a smoother consistency, you can save the pulp and freeze it in ice cube trays and blend it with smoothies.
Good luck on your journey of repairing and building a healthy and strong gut microbiome. I know how important this is for overall health!
Also, you may find my book, “No Juicer? No Problem.” helpful! There are tons more options for homemade juice, ways to use the leftover pulp in recipes, and much more. Here’s the link if you’d like to check it out: https://heavenlyspiced.com/shop/no-juicer-no-problem/
Take care, Sylvia!

I make ginger shots all the time and attention half POUND of ginger will be undrinkable with the amount of other ingredients. I made a similar juice with 7 oz og ginger and I had to quadruple the liquids.
Are you sure this measurement is correct?
Hi Barbara. Yes, the measurements are correct. You can certainly taste the ginger and feel a slight burning sensation, however the flavors are balanced with the sweetness from the pineapple and coconut water. In my opinion, they are delicious and drinkable. Thank you for leaving your feedback!
