Ginger, Carrot and Lemon Juice Recipe

I thought I would share the recipe for a lovely cleansing juice that is perfect for healing colds and flu.

I’ve currently got a cold virus, so along with lots of rest, I am supporting my body with plenty of fluids and lemon water. This afternoon I decided to give it some extra love, by making this cleansing juice.

This recipe contains so many things perfect for healing a cold or flu. Lemons cleanse and alkalise and are full of vitamin C.  Ginger is a powerful antiviral and also has anti inflammatory properties which help boost up the immune system. Carrots contain an abundance of vitamins, especially vitamin A and beta carotene, along with antioxidants which are essential for a healthy body and well functioning immune system. Cucumber and apple add that extra cleansing boost to this refreshing juice.

Ginger, Carrot and Lemon Juice

Two medium sized Carrots

Half a cucumber

A large chunk of Fresh Ginger

One Apple

Juice of Half a Lemon

Method

Wash and chop your ingredients

Put your fruit and veg through the juicer one at a time (little tip ~ I often juice the cucumber last to help push the remains of the other ingredients through)

Pour into a pretty glass

Enjoy!
