Renée's Immune Boost Juice

So my beautiful bestie has been sick - and her work has her slammed at the moment. She's had a cold for weeks and needs a mega immune boosting pick me up. 

I told her I'd come up with a quick juice that she could throw in the Thermy that will help her immune system to get her well. 

Teresa Cutter is one of Australia's most renowned wholefood nutritionists, I have been following her for quite a while, she's a wonderful source of information. She has a great post on immune foods which you can read here.  

Here is my juice for Renée, using some of the foods from Teresa's top 10 immune boosters.


Ingredients :- 

100g or 2 oranges (with skin and pith removed)
50g or 1/2 lemon (with a peeler, remove a little zest, then deskin and remove pith)
50g or 1 small carrot
75 g fresh pineapple
1 teaspoon turmeric powder
1 tablespoon manuka honey
500g water

Method:- 

Put all ingredients except water in Thermomix, process at speed 6 for 20 seconds. Add water to bowl and process or a further 40 seconds at speed 8.

I used a fine wire mesh sieve to strain the juice, but you can use the TM basket if you don't mind a little pith. I made a double batch, because let's face it - it's delicious, and refined sugar free - so it's a great morning juice for Sugar Free September!
