Delicious Immune juice made with veggies and fruits without any added sugar.
Hope everybody had a wonderful Christmas and enjoying the rest of holidays with fun. Waiting for New Year to starts with great enthusiasm. I don’t think I am keeping any resolution, usually my resolution will always remain a resolution and not even get one day will be executed. With two kids, even finding some time to have a little exercise is not easy task. How about you? Will you able to keep to as few of your New Year resolution. I admire those who keep and successfully finish New Year resolutions. Here is delicious Immune juice that helps boost the immunity I finally made it.
We as family always believed that juice is only made with fruits and not with any vegetables. However one day my hubby me showed this article in Daily mail newspaper online version.
This newspaper is mainly about actors and actress, where they are vacationing or not vacationing. One good thing about that newspaper they give everything in elaborate detail.
In this article Kris Karr who was diagnosed with cancer ten years ago, controlled her cancer with diet. She has even written three cookbooks, and in this article, she has given a recipe for a Juice that builds immunity. I liked it as it require, green apple, romaine lettuce, cucumber, lemon and ginger. However my chef in me asked me to increase the flavor by adding little salt and black pepper.
Health Benefits of Immune juice
I know apple is rich in fiber and vitamins A, B and C and also fight against Rheumatism, read more from here, cucumber is rich in vitamin B, and is 95% water so it helps in hydrating the body, cucumber is also known to contain lariciresinol, pinoresinol, and secoisolariciresinol.
These three lignans have a strong history of research in connection with reducing risk of several cancer types, including breast cancer, ovarian cancer, uterine cancer and prostate cancer. Read more from here. Lime is rich in vitamin C. Ginger stimulates the digestive system and has for long been used as a natural treatment for colds.
I washed and cleaned cucumber, I don’t like their peels, so peeled and de-seeded them, chopped the green apple, peeled ginger piece extracted lemon juice, added salt and pepper. Put it in the blender and started blender. I was waiting for 2-3 minutes nothing happening, blades are moving but no juice. Then I decided to add water. Once water had joined the ingredient list, I was able get juice. It was really thick juice; if you want you can increase the water.
At first I did a taste test I liked it, then asked hubby who is inspiration behind this discovery of juice, to do a taste test. He told it is delicious. For my daughter I added a ½ teaspoon of sugar so she was also able enjoy the juice. Try it, it is delicious, it will change your perception of vegetables in juice.

Nice juicing process and lovely de-tox.

Wow thats was extremely healthy n fabulous Juice dear......Advance New year wishes 2 u n ur family..
Sandhya Ramakrishnan says
Love the combo. Like you mentioned I am also trying to get some vegetables in juice form, but for most of the time go without doing it because I have great vegetable eating kids in my house. My kids love any vegetable in any form, raw or cooked ( I am so happy for that). But like you said, these are very good way to get vegetables into kids and husbands who are picky eaters 🙂
radha says
We were for sometime getting vegetable juice in cartons. As you say, they were tasty. But they disappeared from the shelves in a short time.. for lack of buyers. Personally, I prefer the vegetables in salad form. And I can eat loads of it.
