Check out the following recipes to start your mornings with a refreshing glass of juice. They’re packed with essential nutrients to boost your everyday health. Juicing these vitamin and mineral enriched food combinations can aid in the fight against the common cold, flu, to detoxify the liver, help in the battle against annoying aches and pains, or even energize your body’s natural defenses against the coronavirus.
- Green apple, carrot, and orange
Juicing carrots, green apples, and orange can help your body protect itself and fight off infections. This combination is packed with vitamins A, B-6, and C along with potassium, and folic acid.
- Orange and grapefruit
Consider this citrus-rich combination that offers vitamins A, B-6, and C, folic acid, and zinc in the morning.
- Homemade tomato juice
If you use a juicer, you’ll want to strain the pieces through a sieve, or nut milk bag.
This fruit (yes, I said fruit) is rich in folic acid, which helps with infections, and it contains vitamins A and C, and iron.
- Kale and celery
This delicious combination is great for a good morning start. Both veggies should be easy to find in your local grocer. As teammates these two offer the body vitamins A, C and K, to help your body thrive. A cup of kale offers 3.5 grams of protein, and 2.5 grams of fiber. Celery is very hydrating and loaded with enough potassium to rival the banana.
- Beet, carrot, ginger, and turmeric
I confess my love for this amazing combination to juice. But remember to take precautions, as both beets and turmeric will stain a surface. I also use a bit of black pepper when I use turmeric because it’s said to enhance its potency. Your body will receive the benefits of vitamins A, C, and E, iron, and calcium. This combination can have a positive effect on runny noses, coughs, and influenzas, as well as body aches and pains from rheumatoid arthritis and any inflammatory ailments.
- Strawberry and mango
Although we’re part of the global community, I recommend getting these items during their peak season for the maximum potential of their nutrients. With this delicious combination you will benefit from vitamins A, C, and E along with iron, and folic acid.
- Watermelon
Whether you partake of this fruit in its natural form, sliced up with a bit of salt or as a juice, you will be totally satisfied. This is one of my favorite fruits from my childhood growing up in a rural farm community. I didn’t realize or even care that this tasty treat offered my body vitamins A and C, magnesium, and zinc! As an adult,meh! I simply love watermelon!
- Strawberry-kiwi
You will experience the ultimate vitamin C-packed drink with this combination. Your body will benefit from vitamins A, C, and B-6, magnesium, zinc, and folic acid.
- Celery
You can enjoy this veggie raw and reap all its benefits as a snack, but try juicing it. I believe it’s as hydrating as watermelon, my favorite, and as delightful a morning boost that I’ve found. To some though, it may have a detoxifying effect on the body, and as for your liver, the body’s filtrations system, it will love you for it. And, it good for your skin.Enjoy!
- Spinach, lettuce, parsley, and kale
For a strong immune system, try this combination as a morning drink for the whole family.
Yes, I said the whole family. Let them join you in this journey to better health. We all need the benefit of vitamins A, C, and B-6, iron, and calcium every day.
During this worldwide pandemic, let’s not neglect what is truly important as we navigate this uncharted course. Let’s aim to be healthier and stronger as we move forward knowing that God has not given us a spirit of fear, but of power and love and a sound mind.
Moms, Dads, make the choices of what foods are brought into your home to nourish your family’s body (the temple of the Holy Spirit). Don’t get stuck on what you don’t have, but look at what you have and strive to make it better.
