Camu Camu Ginger Apple Juice Recipe is my little daily boost when I want something bright, zesty, and genuinely good for me. You know those mornings when your energy feels slow and your throat wants a bit of extra kindness? That is when this tiny shot saves the day. It is tart, a little spicy, and crisp from fresh apple. If sleep has been hit or miss for you, I also lean on habits that support a calmer evening rhythm, so I keep this helpful read bookmarked for later: better sleep juice tips. Stick around and I will show you how to make the mix I reach for most often and how to tweak it so it fits your routine. 
Little bottles. Big benefits.
There is something satisfying about lining up a few small glass bottles in the fridge and knowing I have a fresh, tangy wellness shot ready to go. I pour a couple ounces into a tiny glass, take a sip, and feel that zingy lift from ginger and lemon, plus the gentle sweetness of apple. The real star here is **camu camu**, a small Amazonian berry that is naturally high in vitamin C. Paired with ginger, you get a warm buzz that feels like a hug for your throat. Apple smooths it all out so it is not a punch to the palate.
What I love about this Camu Camu Ginger Apple Juice Recipe is how flexible it is. You can make it in a juicer for a silky result or use a blender and strain it for a rustic vibe. It is quick, it is punchy, and it uses simple ingredients you can find at most stores or online. When I am in a rut with my routine, measuring out a few little shots for the week feels like an easy win I can actually keep up with.
Why this little shot works
Every ingredient earns its place. **Camu camu** brings brightness and that tangy vitamin C lift. **Ginger** adds warmth and a peppery kick that wakes up the senses. **Apple** makes it friendly and helps with hydration. A squeeze of **lemon** turns up the sparkle and helps balance the flavor. A tiny pinch of **black pepper** nudges absorption of certain compounds in ginger and turmeric if you choose to add a pinch of turmeric too. It is a well-rounded combo that tastes real because it is.
Flavor and feel
Expect tart first, then gingery warmth that fades into crisp apple. It is not sugary sweet. It is clean and bright, the kind of shot that makes you breathe a little deeper. If you are new to functional shots and want a smoother introduction, try sipping a half portion with a splash of water. If you are more adventurous, go full send and keep it concentrated.
Immunity shots
Let us make the base and then a few tiny tweaks to turn it into your ideal immunity shot. You can keep it classic and simple, or add a couple optional ingredients when you want even more punch.
Ingredients
- 2 medium crisp apples, cored
- 1 to 1.5 inches fresh ginger, peeled
- 1 lemon, peeled
- 1 teaspoon camu camu powder

- Optional: 1 pinch ground turmeric
- Optional: splash of cold water if blending
Directions
- Juicer method: Run apple, ginger, and lemon through your juicer. Whisk in camu camu powder until fully dissolved. Add black pepper and optional honey or turmeric. Pour into small bottles and chill.

Make ahead and storage
Fresh is best, but I often batch a few bottles at a time. Keep sealed in the fridge for up to 3 days. Shake before drinking since spices can settle. If you want to stretch it to 4 days, make it extra cold from the start and keep it toward the back of the fridge. For a super busy week, freeze in silicone ice cube trays and thaw a couple cubes overnight in the fridge.
WHAT’S INSIDE Sol-ti IMMUNI-TI SuperShot
When you buy a ready-to-drink immunity shot at the store, you are usually getting a concentrated mix of vitamin C rich fruits, warming spices, and sometimes a few extras like probiotics or adaptogens. The Sol-ti IMMUNI-TI SuperShot often highlights ingredients like citrus, ginger, and supportive botanicals. If you enjoy that flavor profile, you will feel right at home with this at-home Camu Camu Ginger Apple Juice Recipe. You are recreating the same bright, spicy, citrus-forward experience, but with control over sweetness and intensity.
Here is how to mirror that store-bought balance at home without sacrificing taste:
Keep the **camu camu** as your vitamin C anchor, use a confident amount of **ginger** for warmth, and keep the **lemon** generous for that clean finish. If you want it closer to a store style shot, stir in a pinch of **turmeric** plus **black pepper**. Honey or maple can round the edges if needed. I like my shot extra vivid, so I usually skip the sweetener and let the apple do the heavy lifting.

One thing to remember with wellness shots is that they are part of a bigger routine. Get sunlight when you can, hydrate well, eat balanced meals, and listen to your body. A tiny bottle is not a magic trick. It is a helpful habit that stacks up over time.
Customer Reviews
I tried this recipe out on a few friends who love a good ginger kick. The apple keeps everyone happy, even the folks who swear they do not like tart drinks. Honestly, the feedback surprised me because I expected the camu camu to be too sour for some, but apple and lemon keep it lively instead of harsh. Two friends asked for a batch for their work fridge and now I get weekly reminders to drop off refills. Here is a favorite note I got last week:
“I had your little camu ginger shot before a morning meeting and felt alert in the best way. The flavor is tart but balanced, and my throat felt great the rest of the day. I am officially hooked and my partner took my last bottle, so I need more.”
If you want a calmer alternative for days when you do not want spice, a splash of water and a tiny bit of honey softens it nicely. Or pair your shot with a slice of toast and almond butter so it is not hitting an empty stomach.

Common Questions
Do I need camu camu powder, or can I skip it?
You can skip it, but the tart sparkle and vitamin C punch come from camu camu. If you leave it out, add a little extra lemon and maybe a small orange for a brighter taste.
Can I make this without a juicer?
Yes. Blend everything with a splash of water, then strain. It takes an extra minute, but the flavor is just as good.
How long does it keep?
Up to 3 days in the fridge in sealed bottles. Shake gently before pouring. For longer, freeze in small portions and thaw overnight.
Can kids drink this?
It is tart and gingery, so it depends on your kid. Start with a small diluted sip. If you have any questions about ingredients, check with your pediatrician first.
How do I make it less tart or less spicy?
For less tart, add a touch of honey or maple, or use a sweeter apple. For less spice, reduce the ginger by half or add a bit more apple juice.
