Tis the season to consume lots of Vitamin C and nutrient dense foods, veggies and herbs. Also, raw garlic is a known immunity booster. Here's my "flu shot" recipe:
For 1 serving (approx. 8-10 oz):
1 organic lemon, juiced
1 super-fresh organic orange, juiced
1/2 fresh pink grapefruit, juiced
1/2 fresh organic pear, peeled & seeded
1 medium clove garlic, peeled & chopped
1-2 tablespoons fresh peeled and chopped ginger
1/4 tsp cinnamon, preferably Ceylon
1/2 tsp raw honey - optional
3 ice cubes
Prep is important here, so you'll need to juice your citrus fruits first. (For ease, I use a hand lemon press which squeezes out juice of citrus fruits if I'm making just a one-cup serving. If I'm doubling this recipe, I use the small, convenient electric Breville citrus juicer.) When you've juiced your citrus, put everything into a high-speed blender (Vitamix to the rescue), and blend till forty. (And if you really want to amp things up add protein powder or add a very fresh raw egg).
Consume immediately for a high-potency shot of energy and immunity boosting nutrients.
