In today’s fast-paced world, staying on top of your health is more important than ever. Immunity shots — those small but powerful blends of fresh fruits, vegetables, and spices — are packed with vitamins, antioxidants, and anti-inflammatory compounds. They’re often sold at juice bars or wellness cafés, but here’s the truth: most of them are not organic, making them at home is not only fresher and healthier, it also saves you a surprising amount of money.
Why Homemade is Better
Buying immunity shots at a juice bar can cost anywhere from $5 to $8 per tiny 2–3 oz serving. At home, you can make several servings for the price of one store-bought shot using ingredients you likely already have in your fridge. Plus:
- No additives or preservatives – Just fresh, whole ingredients.
- Customizable flavors – You control sweetness, spice, and strength.
- Big batch savings – A handful of produce makes enough shots to last several days.
Not only do you save money, but you also get a higher nutritional value since your shots are made and consumed fresh.
