Juice Boost

Immune Juice Boost
Immune Juice Boost

Are you looking for a tasty way to give your body a boost? Do you own a juicer? Here's my current favorite immune-boosting juice.

After being seriously run down last fall I consulted a doctor to find ways to strengthen my immune system. She had a very simple list for me: take zinc and a lot of vitamin C. And of course, sleep.

I've always known that vitamin C is a good thing, but I couldn't tolerate the vitamin C pills so I decided to consume vitamin C entirely with food. I was taking zinc every day but developed nausea from that as well.

Then after playing tennis one day I tried a rescue drink and it was heaven. I read the ingredients and of course there was cane sugar in it. So I decided to make my own juice shot with my juicer.

Here is my tasty juice boost which uses fresh turmeric, ginger, apple, and lemon juice. I love it in the morning or after a workout.

If you're looking for something with fiber or something more substantial, try my turmeric smoothie.

Juice Boost

I keep the skins on the ginger root and turmeric, but it's up to you. I do slice up the apple to remove the core and stem, but again leave the skin on the apple pieces. I have on occasion accidentally tossed the lemon into the juicer as well and it was fine but some lemon rinds do impart a slightly bitter taste so that's why I avoid it.
A warning that turmeric stains yellow so clean it up sooner than later if it lands on something you don't want to turn yellow.

    Can’t wait to try this! Do you think this recipe lends itself well to being made ahead of time? For example, blending up a batch for the next few days and then keeping it in the refrigerator until ready to drink each morning?

      Yes! I do that all the time. I make a batch and drink shots of it over a few days. You can probably freeze it also as ice cubes, I just haven't tried it yet.

    I made this in the blender and added some water- I don’t have a juicer- and it turned out great! Really tasty and potent.
