Immune boom Juice recipe – a healthy boost

This Immune boom juice uses different fruits and vegetables to boost your immune system, keep you healthy and refresh you.

I cannot wait for spring to be in full swing with blooming flowers and trees when I spend more time outdoors. However, as much as I enjoy the season, it is a time of the year when I must prioritize my health and well-being. Therefore, besides sleep, I focus on eating a healthy diet rich in whole foods, such as fruits, vegetables, and proteins.

I love to use herbs rich in vitamin C to boost my immunity, like rose hips or elderberries, which I can forage in the late summer and early fall. 

On the other hand, nettle is packed with nutrients that can help support a healthy immune system and you will find it already in early spring. This green smoothie is packed with nettle and dandelion leaves that help to cleanse your body from accumulated toxins and boost your energy levels. 

This immune bomb juice combines different fruits and vegetables with a wide range of vitamins and nutrients to support a healthy immune system. By making this juice, you would successfully pass one day of this 30-day challenge to become healthier every day.

Immune boom juice Ingredients.

Ginger:

Ginger is known for its anti-inflammatory and antioxidant properties, which can help to reduce inflammation and protect against colds and flu.

I used it in this lemon ginger turmeric shot recipe or to make this flu bomb.

Navel orange

The lemon and navel orange is high in vitamin C, essential for immune function, and can help ward off infections.

Apple

The apple adds a touch of sweetness and fiber while also providing additional vitamins and minerals like potassium and vitamin K.

Beetroot

Beetroot is a rich source of antioxidants and vitamin C that help to support your body against infections. In addition, it is a great way to incorporate more vegetables into your diet.

For this recipe, it’s best to use fresh raw beetroot. Raw beetroots are a great source of nutrients, including vitamins and minerals, and they have a sweet, earthy flavor that pairs well with the other ingredients in the juice.

Carrot

Carrots are a great source of beta-carotene, which the body converts to vitamin A, an essential nutrient for immune function, vision, and skin health. They are also high in antioxidants, which can help reduce inflammation.

How to store the Immune boosting juice?

It’s best to consume it right after making it to ensure you get the maximum nutrients. If you need to store it for later, keep it in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 24 hours. However, the longer you store the juice, the more the nutrients and flavor degrade. So shake it well before consuming.
