Introducing this 7-ingredient immunity juice made with oranges, carrots and ginger.

Unlike most ginger shots and immune juices, this super immunity juice actually tastes good. While also packing in tons of nutrients, immune boosting minerals and benefits. 

Think of this juice as an upgraded orange juice. It’s sweet and light thanks to the oranges and carrots. But it also sneaks in tons of ginger, lemon and turmeric for added benefits and immunity! 

Oh and before I forget, you don’t need a juicer to make this immunity juice shot. Wild right?! 

Let’s get into the recipe!

Immune Boosting Juice Ingredients 

Here’s what you’ll need to make this immune system boosting juice recipe.

  • Navel oranges: This variety juices the best and has tons of flavor
  • Carrots 
  • Lemons 
  • Ginger 
  • Turmeric powder or fresh turmeric root
  • Celtic sea salt
  • Black pepper: This will activate the turmeric!

In terms of equipment, you’ll need a high-powered blender, I love my Vitamix, and a nut milk bag.

How to Make this Immune Boosting Juice 

This juice is pretty simple to make!

Prep all of the fruits and other ingredients; this part takes the most time. Then add all of the juice ingredients into a blender and blend until smooth. Pour into a strainer or nut milk bag and strain. And you’ve got the best immune boosting juice shots!

But to go in depth, here’s the breakdown of how to make this juice: 

  1. Begin by prepping the oranges. Wash the oranges and then start by cutting the oranges half crosswise. Set the orange face down on the cut side on the cutting board. Then cut off the skin of the orange moving around the orange in a circle. Repeat with the other half of the orange. I found that this is the easiest way to quickly remove the skin from the oranges. No need to worry about the white skin of the orange, as we’ll be straining it. 
  2. Once the oranges are prepped, cut the carrots and ginger into small cubes so it’s easier on your blender. 
  3. Add the oranges, carrots and ginger into a high-powered blender. Then squeeze in the juice of one lemon and sprinkle in the turmeric, salt and black pepper. Lastly, pour in the water. 
  4. Turn the blender on low, slowly ramping up the speed to high. Let the juice blend for 3 minutes until smooth. 
  5. Pour the juice into a super fine strainer, preferably a nut milk bag, and strain over a glass bowl. Once the juice has been strained, pour it into a glass jar and store in the fridge. 
  6. The juice will keep for up to one week!

But Do I Need A Juicer 

Absolutely not! 

That is the beauty of this immunity juice recipe. You can blend everything up and strain it using a fine mesh sieve or nut milk bag. 

I mean who needs a $500 juicer, am I right?! 

That said, a nut milk bag will yield the best results as it’ll strain out ALL of the pulp. If you’re using a fine mesh sieve, I’d strain the juice two times to ensure you got all of the pulp out of the juice. 

Frequently Asked Questions 

  • What juice is best for stronger immunity? Typically juices that have citrus fruits, carrots, greens, beets and ginger are always a good bet. 
  • How often should you drink this immunity juice? I drink this every day on the weeks that I make it. Typically on an empty stomach right before breakfast. It’s like having orange juice with breakfast, but the adult version haha!
  • Do I need a juicer to make this? Absolutely note, you just need a blender and either a fine mesh sieve or nut milk bag. I’ll link the nut milk bag I used here.

  • 2 large carrots
  • 1 hand-sized piece fresh ginger*
  • 1 medium lemon
  • 2 tsp turmeric
  • ½ tsp Celtic sea salt
  • ¼ tsp black pepper
  • 2 cups water**


Instructions

  1. Begin by preparing the oranges. Wash the oranges and then start by cutting the oranges half crosswise. Set the orange face down on the cut side on the cutting board. Then cut off the skin of the orange moving around the orange in a circle. Repeat with the other half of the orange. I found that this is the easiest way to quickly remove the skin from the oranges. No need to worry about the white skin of the orange, as we’ll be straining it. Once the oranges are prepped, cut the carrots and ginger into small cubes so it’s easier on your blender. 
  2. Add the oranges, carrots and ginger into a high-powered blender. Then squeeze in the juice of one lemon and sprinkle in the turmeric, salt and black pepper. Lastly, pour in the water.
  3.  Turn the blender on low, slowly ramping up the speed to medium-high. Let the juice blend for 3 minutes until smooth.
  4.  Pour the juice into a fine mesh sieve, preferably a nut milk bag, and strain over a glass bowl. Once the juice has been strained, pour it into a glass jar and store in the fridge. 
  5. The juice will keep for up to one week in the fridge. It might naturally thicken in the fridge, so just give it a good shake! 

Notes

*I never peel the ginger in this recipe because the pulp is going to be strained out anyway. Plus, the ginger peel has minerals and vitamins that I want to incorporate into the juice. Just make sure to thoroughly wash the ginger. 

**I’ve found 2 cups of water to make the perfect amount of juice that isn’t too strong or weak. However, if you like the juice less strong, you can use an additional 1/2 cup of water. If you’re feeling spicy, feel free to omit the water entirely and blend the juice on it’s own. The juice shots will be quite strong, but super flavorful!
