Recipe: Make your own cold-pressed vitamin C shot at home

How to create a refreshing cold-pressed vitamin C shot at home.

Looking for an easy way to give your morning routine a refreshing boost? A homemade cold-pressed vitamin C shot is a simple, flavour-packed drink made with fresh fruit and vegetables that are naturally rich in vitamin C.

While these shots won't prevent illness or work miracles, they can be a delicious way to include more fresh produce in your diet. The key is to use fresh ingredients and avoid heating them, as vitamin C is sensitive to heat.

Here's how to make your own vibrant vitamin C shot using ingredients you can easily find at your local supermarket.

Store-bought wellness shots can be pricey, often costing upwards of R30 for a tiny bottle. Making them at home is more affordable, allows you to control the ingredients, and lets you skip added sugars or preservatives.
