1 serving (medium) of Olive oil-lemon shot (30 g) has 222 calories. That works out to 740 calories per 100 g. It contains 0.5 g of carbs, 0.1 g of protein, 24.3 g of fat and 0.1 g of fiber. Its 4.2 mg of Vitamin E covers 28% of the Daily Value. Its glycemic index is 10 (low), so it raises blood sugar slowly.
Olive oil-lemon shot is a simple mixture of olive oil and lemon juice, taken in a small glass rather than made to a single regional recipe. It is not a traditional everyday drink in most places; it is a contemporary way to have these two familiar ingredients together.
The flavour is sharply tart, with the fruity, sometimes peppery edge of olive oil, and the texture can feel rich on its own. Stir or shake it just before drinking, since the oil separates. Most of its energy comes from fat: it contains 81 g of fat per 100 g. If a straight shot feels too intense, use the mixture as a quick dressing for salad or vegetables instead.

An olive oil-lemon shot combines olive oil with lemon juice; it is not a detox or a treatment. Olive oil supplies fat and lemon juice contributes vitamin C, but the amounts depend on the recipe and the shot has no proven cleansing effect.
An olive oil-lemon shot is made by mixing olive oil with freshly squeezed lemon juice. Adjust the lemon to suit your taste and mix just before drinking, since the oil and juice separate when left to stand.
No, an olive oil-lemon shot does not cause weight loss by itself. It adds oil to your diet, so taking it on top of your usual meals can increase overall energy intake rather than support a calorie deficit.
You can take an olive oil-lemon shot on an empty stomach, but there is no established cleansing benefit to doing so. If it causes nausea, reflux, or stomach discomfort, have it with food or skip it.
No, an olive oil-lemon shot does not detox or cleanse the liver. The liver handles the body's normal processing of substances, and there is no good evidence that this drink removes toxins or treats liver disease.
No, an olive oil-lemon shot cannot dissolve or flush out gallstones. A large amount of oil may trigger gallbladder contraction and pain, so anyone with suspected gallstones or biliary symptoms should seek medical advice rather than try a cleanse.
You can drink an olive oil-lemon shot regularly if it agrees with you, but daily use is not necessary for health. Count its oil as part of your usual intake, and rinse your mouth with water afterward because lemon is acidic.
Yes, an olive oil-lemon shot can worsen reflux or heartburn in some people. Lemon is acidic and the oil may feel heavy; stop drinking it if it brings on symptoms, especially before lying down.
There is no proven best time for an olive oil-lemon shot. Morning use does not provide a special detox effect, and taking it near bedtime may be uncomfortable for people whose reflux is triggered by acidic foods.
An olive oil-lemon shot is best made fresh and drunk promptly. If you mix it ahead, keep it covered in the refrigerator and shake it before serving; the oil separates and the fresh lemon flavor fades with storage.
