Top 8: Energy and taste by the shot with these fruit and veggie drinks

"Added spices such as ginger, turmeric and chilli challenge the taste buds and lift us out of culinary complacency. They also have health properties, such as curcumin in turmeric, which may be anti-inflammatory."

"These shots are good options to start the day or when we feel tired, especially compared to sugary or caffeinated alternatives."

Anyone for a shot? Something to boost your energy? The zingy flavours of fruit and veggie drinks can make us feel good, and if we feel good, we’re often motivated to exercise more, creating a cycle of good health.

The extent to which the ingredients are processed will affect the shot’s vitamin content and ability to live up to its health claims.
