I want to start my review on a positive note, by stating the ginger shots have made a massive difference to my energy levels and immune system.
I like to take a shot daily, sometimes multiple times in a day if I am run down or feel a cold coming on. They are tasty, I enjoy the burn. I attempted to make my own at home before discovering moju and always failed until recently.
My biggest reason for giving only 3 stars is the price. There are only 7 shots per bottle and the bottles cost over £5 each including a subscription box discount. This means having to order at least 5/6 bottles to be able to take one shot daily for the month. Even more if you want to take more than one per day. This very quickly becomes a pricey subscription. Individual shots from a supermarket are almost £2 each.
The other issue I had was that I never received my subscription on the delivery date that was stated on my account. It was despatched on that date but never delivered. I would always receive my subscription box 2/3 days later than the date I was due to receive it. Also they have stopped free delivery no matter how much you spend so I was always charged for this on my subscription which bumps up the cost even further.
Lastly, I was not able to update my payment information so I ended up cancelling my subscription. I did intend on restarting it. However, I did eventually find the perfect ginger shot recipe that was almost identical to the moju shots and has the same effect.
It is very quick and easy to do at home, plus it works out at a fraction of the price. I have listed the recipe I use below:-
-400ml of orange juice.
-70-80g of fresh ginger, roughly chopped (you can experiment with the amount of ginger you use).
- 1 x apple roughly chopped (core removed).
- Juice of 1 x small sized lemon or 1/2 large lemon.
- Acerola cherry powder (optional, I don't use this but they are in the moju shots, its pricey but available online).
Put the above ingredients in a blender and the strain into a jug using a fine mesh strainer. I have found using the recipe above makes a number of shots, that taste the same and have the same affect as the moju ones. You can also use different fruit juices if you don't like the taste. Pineapple takes the edge off the ginger.
Going forward I will continue to use this recipe to save money. It made me realise how expensive these shots really are and IMO overpriced.
I haven't tried the other products.
