Immune-Boosting Juice Recipe

Ingredients:

• 2 oranges (peeled)
• 1 large carrot (peeled and chopped)
• 1 apple (cored and chopped)
• 1 small piece of ginger (about 1 inch, peeled)
• 1 lemon (peeled)
• 1 handful of spinach or kale (optional for added nutrients)
• 1 teaspoon of turmeric powder (optional)
• 1-2 tablespoons of honey (optional, for sweetness)
• 1-2 cups of water (to adjust consistency)

Instructions:

1. Prepare Ingredients: Wash all fruits and vegetables thoroughly. Peel and chop the oranges, carrot, apple, ginger, and lemon.
2. Blend: Add all the prepared ingredients into a blender. If you are using spinach or kale, add it now. Pour in 1 cup of water to help with blending.
3. Blend Until Smooth: Blend the ingredients until smooth. If the mixture is too thick, add more water until you reach your desired consistency.
4. Strain (Optional): If you prefer a smoother juice, you can strain the mixture through a fine mesh sieve or cheesecloth to remove the pulp.
5. Add Honey and Turmeric (Optional): Stir in the honey for sweetness and turmeric for its anti-inflammatory properties. Mix well.
6. Serve: Pour the juice into a glass and enjoy immediately for maximum freshness and nutrient content.

Tips:

• Fresh Ingredients: Use the freshest ingredients possible to get the most nutrients.
• Adjust to Taste: Feel free to adjust the quantities of each ingredient to suit your taste preferences.
• Storage: This juice is best consumed fresh but can be stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 24 hours.

Benefits:

• Oranges and Lemon: High in vitamin C, which is essential for immune function.
