We Weighed It: How Much Produce Goes Into One 100ml Shot

It is the most honest question we get, usually with the little bottle held up to the light: "100ml? Is that really going to do anything?" Fair. We are used to drinks that come by the half-litre. So instead of arguing, we did the simple thing — we put the raw produce for one shot on a kitchen scale, pressed it, and measured what was left.

The basket behind one bottle

A wellness shot is not watered-down juice — it is the concentrated liquid squeezed out of a surprising amount of whole produce. Here is roughly what goes into a single 100ml Green Shot before pressing:

• •A generous handful of spinach and other leafy greens
• •A full stalk of celery
• •A good length of cucumber
• •Half a green apple for a clean, low edge of sweetness
• •A whole lemon, juiced
• •A thumb of fresh ginger

That is the better part of a small grocery bag of vegetables. Cold-pressed slowly and strained, all of it collapses down into one 100ml bottle. You are not drinking a little — you are drinking the essence of a lot, minus the water, the pulp bulk, and the chewing.

A shot is small for the same reason espresso is small. It is concentrated on purpose — the size is the point, not a shortcut.

Why concentrated beats big-and-watered-down

Most large bottled "health" drinks are mostly water and added sugar, with a splash of juice from concentrate for flavour. Volume looks generous on the shelf, but the actual nutrition per sip is thin. A P'LETA shot flips that: no added water, no sugar, no concentrate, no filler. Every millilitre is working. That is why one small shot on an empty stomach genuinely earns its place in your morning.

So — is 100ml enough?

For a daily top-up of plant nutrition alongside your normal meals, yes. One shot a day is the everyday dose; two a day if you are running a cleanse. It is not meant to replace meals or your water for the day — it is the concentrated, no-effort hit of fruit, roots, and greens most of us never quite manage to eat. If you want a larger format to actually sip, that is what our 350ml cold-pressed juices are for.

Pressed fresh, not stored

All of that produce is triple-washed and cold-pressed in small batches here in Chennai, bottled with its press date, and delivered to your fridge chilled — usually within a day or two of pressing. No heat, no preservatives, no months on a shelf. The basket goes in, the shot comes out, and it reaches you while it is still genuinely fresh.
