Weight Loss Ginger Shot Meal Prep and Storage

Meal Prep

  • Juice Shot Meal Prep – Add the ginger shot ingredients (less any liquid) to a sandwich bag or container and seal. Store in the fridge (will hold for 1 week in the fridge). 
  • Prepared Juice Shots – These ginger shots are best made fresh, but you can make them ahead of time and store in a clean jar (with a lid) in the fridge. 

Leftover Storage

  • Fridge Storage – Add any leftover juice shots to a jar (I actually serve them in jars so all I have to do is add a lid). Close and store in the fridge for 2-3 days. 
  • Freezer Storage – Pour any leftover shots into ice cube molds, and freeze solid (about 4 hours). Then pop out of the mold and move to a freezer bag to avoid freezer burn. Will hold for 1 month in the freezer.
