Actually, in these shots there is one main ingredient which is highly beneficial in one way or the other. Moreover taking it in concentrated form that too early morning in empty stomach makes it easy to have it in one go.Other ingredients are added for extra health benefits, to enhance the taste…etc

Do they really work??
The answer is Yes, they work. But definitely it will take time, you have to continue taking the shots and stop expecting immediate results.

Each and every thing needs balance…so is in this case.Taking a weight loss shot in the morning but gulping junk foods like there is no tomorrow will definitely not give the desired results….So, a balance of healthy eating, good exercise, good sleep alongwith this wellness shots are must.

As mentioned above, these shots don’t need a juicer. Yes, a blender does it all. Most of us have blenders, if not, purchasing a good one will come in handy. Moreover , not only healthy shots, they can be used to make soups,sauces,purees, smoothies and many more!

Why Homemade & not Store bought??

We always say ” There is no alternative to homemade food!” Same is true in this case. We can make a big batch of these shots and store them upto a week in the refrigerator. Store bought are way too costlier and also the flavours doesn’t suit us sometimes. Making these at home does a lot of savings! Moreover we have full control over the flavour, taste and the process.
