Health Shots - Toby Amidor

There''s a reason why functional health drinks, like the ones crowding every grocery store shelf, have become so popular. Unlike "Eat the rainbow," "More fiber," and "know the superfoods"-advice that can feel so difficult while juggling the myriad demands of modern life-health shots provide a one-and-done solution to achieving our nutritional goals. But they are also mass-produced and come with a hefty price tag. In Health Shots, nutritionist Toby Amidor offers a better, more affordable way-50 recipes for tonics, tinctures and shots that support health with minimal processing, minimal cost, and maximum benefits. Formulated to address a range of wellness concerns--immunity, inflammation, brain health, sleep, gut health, anxiety, energy, and healthy hair, skin and nails-these recipes are as easy to make as they are delicious to drink. Amidor covers the basic tonic techniques include juicing, blending, straining, and steeping-with an overview of food safety, and how to take tonics as part of a healthy eating plan. Each recipe also contains a "tonic tip" providing additional insight on key ingredients, substitutions, or what to do with leftover ingredients to minimize food waste.
