Hi Melissa, This recipe makes 12 oz total, so that's four 3oz shots, three 4oz shots or six 2oz shots!

Hi Inge, These shots will stay fresh for about 7 days in the fridge, depending on a few factors. You can read more about it here: https://www.goodnature.com/blog/understanding-shelf-life-of-cold-pressed-juice/

Hi Lauren, You can try to use a blender and then filter it through a sieve, nut milk bag or cheesecloth, although I wouldn't recommend it...using a blender creates a lot heat and oxygen that gets into the juice, depleting the nutrients. To get the maximum benefits from juicing, I recommend buying a juicer (you can find some pretty inexpensive ones at your local box store). If you do make with a blender, I would drink it right away, as the longer it sits the less beneficial it will be.

Hi Delany, In this recipe, ginger is only a portion of the 4 oz serving, so you are actually only getting less than 1 oz of actual ginger juice. That being said, everyone is different, you need to listen to your body on what works for you. I personally consume roughly 3 oz of ginger juice every morning to battle the inflammation from my arthritis and keep me pain-free. If you are drinking too much ginger, your body will tell you. The side effects you can experience from drinking too much ginger are: Heartburn, gas, stomachache, and burning feeling in the mouth. If you have any concerns or are on medication, you should consult your doctor.

Hi Christine! Good catch! I think we had a typo there, I will fix it 😄 There is 75 calories in the 12 oz, so if you are doing 4 oz shots, it would be 25 calories per serving.

Hi Jackie, It really depends on how the juice is made. If you are using a typical home juicer that utilizes centrifugal force (which creates heat), you will want to drink immediately or at least within the first few hours as the juice oxidizes and the nutrients break down quickly. If you are using a masticating, slow juicer or twin gear juicer, I would recommend to keep in the fridge for a maximum of 3 days because you will find the flavor and nutrients to diminish. If you are using a press, this recipe will keep in the fridge for up to 7 days.
