Suitable For: Anyone feeling the onset of a cold, people looking to ward off seasonal flu, or those needing a digestion aid after a heavy meal.
Health Benefits: This is a Vitamin C bomb. Oranges and Lemon stimulate the production of white blood cells to fight infections. Ginger contains gingerol, a substance with powerful anti-inflammatory and antioxidant properties that also soothes nausea. The Apple adds sweetness and soluble fiber to support gut health.
Ingredients
- Oranges -- 2 medium (260g, quartered and peeled)
- Lemon -- ¼ fruit (approx. 15g, peeled)
- Medium Apple -- 1 (182g, cut into eighths)
- Fresh Ginger Root -- ½ inch piece (5g)
Steps
- Prep: Peel the oranges and lemon to reduce bitterness (leave the white pith for extra nutrients if you don't mind the taste). Core the apple and cut into wedges. Wash the ginger (no need to peel if organic).
- Juice: Feed the ginger first, followed by the apple, and finish with the citrus fruits to wash all the flavor through.
-
Serve: Pour into a clear glass mug.
Tips & Variations
- Golden Glow: Add a pinch of turmeric and black pepper for an even stronger anti-inflammatory effect.
- Carrot Addition: Add 1-2 carrots for extra Vitamin A and a deeper orange color.
- Temperature: While usually served cold, this juice can be gently warmed (not boiled) for a soothing tea-like experience when you have a sore throat.
Best Time to Drink
First thing in the morning on an empty stomach to wake up your digestive system, or at the very first sign of a sniffle.

Zesty, bright, and awakening. The citrus hits your palate first with a refreshing tartness, followed by the sweetness of the apple, and finishing with a pleasant, warming spicy kick from the ginger that lingers in the throat.
