Hi Everyone! 

Today, I am sharing with you a recipe for an immune boosting shot that my sweet friend Trish shared with me. I was surprised with how great they tasted and I thought it would be perfect to share here for the time of year. We can always use a little extra help to boost our immune systems!

Ingredients

1 Cup Fresh Squeezed Orange Juice

1½ Cups of Greens (Made from Power Greens Mix of Kale, Chard, and Spinach)

2-4 Tbsp Ginger Juice

1 Pinch- ¼ tsp Tumeric

1 Tbsp Lemon Juice

Recipe

1. Add ingredients to the blender and blend at high speed until you reach a juice consistency.
2. Pour the ingredients through a cheesecloth or straining towel to remove any leftover larger pieces. 
3. Enjoy.

This recipe makes about 10 shots 2 ounces each. Please adjust according to the amount you would like to make. The ginger and turmeric can make the juice taste a little bit spicy so I would start with the smaller amount and work up. You can always add more and reblend your mixture. 

These shots have many benefits for our bodies. The oranges are packed with Vitamin C and antioxidants, which can help your body to fight off disease. Leafy greens are very important for good health and are packed with lots of nutrients. Kale is very high in vitamins A, C, and K, which can be very beneficial for immune health.  In regards to ginger, It can treat a wide range of diseases via immunonutrition and anti-inflammatory responses. (Ghiasvand et al., 2013, #) According to Healthline.com, Upping your intake of antioxidant-rich foods and beverages like ginger shots may combat inflammation and keep your immune system healthy.They also state that, Ginger and turmeric have powerful anti-inflammatory properties, which could help decrease pain and protect against disease. As you can tell, these immune shots are very beneficial to your body.
