Ingredients

Scale

Fruits and Vegetables

  • 4 Oranges, peeled and chopped
  • 1 Lemon, peeled and chopped
  • 1 Yellow Bell Pepper, cored and chopped

Optional Additions

  • 1 teaspoon Acerola Cherry Powder (optional)

Instructions

  1. Prepare Ingredients: Peel and chop the oranges, lemon, and core and chop the yellow bell pepper into pieces suitable for your juicer chute.
  2. Juicing: Turn on your juicer and gradually feed the chopped fruit and bell pepper through the chute, collecting the fresh juice in the juicer container.
  3. Mix Acerola Powder: Once juicing is complete, turn off the juicer and add two teaspoons of acerola cherry powder to the fresh juice. Use a whisk or frother to thoroughly dissolve the powder, ensuring even distribution of flavor and nutrients.
  4. Bottle the Shots: Pour the vitamin C juice into shot jars or small bottles and secure them with lids to maintain freshness.
  5. Store and Consume: Store the vitamin C shots in the refrigerator and consume them within 5 days for optimal freshness and nutrient retention.

Notes

  • Use fresh, ripe oranges and lemons for the best flavor and highest vitamin content.
  • The acerola cherry powder is optional but greatly increases the vitamin C content.
  • Consume the shots quickly as fresh juices have a limited shelf life and lose potency after a few days.
  • You can adjust the quantity of bell pepper to balance sweetness and flavor according to preference.
  • Keep the shots refrigerated tightly sealed to maintain freshness up to 5 days.
