BEST Immunity Boost Juice to fight cold & flu

Today I’m sharing the BEST Immunity Boost Juice to fight cold and flu this winter. It’s no surprise that as the weather gets colder we need to ward off sickness! Whether you’re trying to avoid catching sick, or you’re trying to get over your sickness, this little drink will do the trick to fight away those bugs.

This Immunity Boost Juice is packed with ginger, turmeric, citrus fruits and tons of vit-c. So that you can get through your day without worrying about a measly cold getting in the way.

And bonus is that it actually tastes delicious! Certainly, it’s not a drag to drink to your health with this sweet juice.

In fact, it tastes a lot lot like those $8.49 fresh pressed juices we are victim to buying at the grocers. (You’ll save a lot of money making it at home).

I like to sip this Immunity Boost Juice in the morning when I wake up. It helps me fight off sickness, and be my best self all day long.

Now, let me tell you exactly how to make this Immunity Boost Juice so that you can fight off sickness ASAP.

Immunity Boost Juice Recipe:

This juice recipe is:

• healthy
• detoxifying
• packed with immune boosting ingredients
• spiced with ginger and turmeric
• deliciously sweet and enjoyable!

This juice is so tasty you’d never know it was so healthy and wholesome. When I’m not indulging in a weekend mimosa, or a warming wellness latte like my Golden Turmeric Latte this is my healthy juice of choice!

And that’s because it’s a delicious juice that helps boost your immune system at the same time!

I like to drink this immunity boost juice whenever I feel a cold coming on in the winter months. It’s great for warding off cold and flu.

How to make Immunity Boost Juice

It’s so easy to make this immunity boost juice. I’ve done mine using my 3-in-1 Cuisinart food processor, using the juice setting.

Cuisinart 3-in-1 Food Processor

This is the gadget I use to make my juice. I love this product because it’s multi-purpose! A food processor, blender and juicer.

I’ve used the juice setting, which works perfectly to make this juice.

Simply add all the chopped ingredients to the juicer and finish by adding the manuka honey mixed with a little bit of warm water.

What if I don’t have a juicer?

Don’t worry! If you don’t have a juicer, I explain how you can still make this recipe in a blender or even how to make it by hand in the recipe card below. (That’s right, you don’t even need a blender!).

How to make Immunity Boost Juice in a blender:

This recipe can easily be made in a blender if you don’t have a juicer! To do so, peel and then slice the oranges and lemon in half crosswise and scoop out any seeds. In the high-speed blender, combine the oranges, lemon, carrots, ginger, and turmeric.

Add 3⁄4 to 1 cup of water (as much as needed) and blend on medium-high speed until pulverized. (A little bit of water helps with the mixing, which is not needed when using a juicer but really helpful when using a blender). Use a tamper if needed if things get stuck while blending. If you do not have a tamper, occasionally stop the blender and stir with a wooden spoon to help the blending process.

Place an open nut milk bag over a medium bowl. Pour the blended juice into the bag and squeeze to strain all the juice into the bowl. (Alternatively, you can use a thin kitchen towel or a couple of layers of cheesecloth to strain the juice.)

Return the strained juice to the blender and add the honey and blend for a few seconds to combine (or add it directly into the bowl and stir to combine). Taste, and add more honey if you prefer it sweeter.

Transfer the juice to a glass bottle or jar and place the lid on tightly.

A little bit about manuka honey and substitutes:

Manuka honey is world renowned for its antibacterial effects.  It’s antiviral, anti-inflammatory and packed with antioxidant. Plus, it really helps to soothe a sore throat when you feel a cold coming on.

You can learn more about the health benefits of manuka honey based on science here.

If you’re a hard lined vegan than you likely don’t eat honey. In this case you can remove the manuka honey altogether or substitute the honey for agave.

Personally, I like a little manuka honey when I’m feeling sick. I purchase my manuka honey on Amazon.

Product Name

This high quality manuka honey is what I’ve used in this juice recipe.

It’s raw, never pasteurized, Non-GMO Project verified Manuka Honey, and traceable from hive to home.

Notes

Juice will keep in fridge for up to 3 days. Stir or shake well before serving.

Nutritional information is a rough estimate.

If you can’t find fresh turmeric or fresh ginger, you can substitute with 1/8 tsp ground turmeric and 1/8 tsp ground ginger. Shake well to combine. Optional to add a pinch more if you can stand the flavour, but this is my starting point.
