Are you looking for a juice to boost your immune system this spring? These three immunity-boosting juice recipes will give you a natural vitamin hit. Keeping up a healthy dose of vitamins and minerals can ward off viruses like colds and flu – and help keep your energy up. To start your day with a refreshing juice boost, you’ll need a juicer and a measuring cup for all of your ingredients. Most fruits and veg can be juiced whole, but some require a little prep.
1. Shield: Sweet Immunity Juice
This homemade recipe is based on our Sweet Immunity Juice. This juice is packed with oranges and lemons, which are full of Vitamin C, which is well known for its immunity-supporting benefits. The fiery ginger has antioxidant and anti-inflammatory properties. It’s also full of carrots which get their orange colour from beta-carotene. Your body can convert beta-carotene into Vitamin A to support the immune system.

One-inch piece of ginger
