Can I make this juice into immunity shots?

Definitely! The biggest difference between an immunity juice and an immunity shot is the level of concentration and the serving size. If you'd like to turn this immunity juice into a stronger, more concentrated shot, reduce the water to just 1/2 cup. Begin to blend and use the tamper to push the fruits and vegetables down into the blade. If the mixture is too thick, add up to another 1/2 cup water, or enough water to encourage blending. Strain, then enjoy in 2-ounce servings.

How often should I drink this juice?

Feel free to enjoy a small cup of this juice daily, or a few times of day while actively fighting a cold and flu. It can be used as both a preventative measure and an aide to help improve active cold and flu symptoms. Use as needed!

Can I make this recipe in a juicer if I have one?

Yes, to make this immunity juice in a juicer, feed all of the ingredients through the juicer, then transfer to a storage jar along with 3 cups of water. When using a juicer, you can skip straining the juice, as the juicer will automatically do this for you during the juicing process.

What should I do with the leftover pulp?

It can be composted, or added to a smoothie for an extra boost of dietary fiber. You can also use it to make this Leftover Juice Pulp Granola ! If you'd like to save it to use later, transfer it to a freezer bag or airtight container and freeze for up to 1 month.

Instructions

How to Make the Juice

Blend the ingredients. In a high-speed blender, add all of the immunity juice ingredients and blend until smooth, about 2 minutes.
Strain the juice. Place a fine mesh strainer or cheesecloth directly over a large bowl or measuring cup. Pour the juice over the strainer or cheesecloth to remove the pulp.
Serve. Serve immediately as is or refrigerate to chill.

How to Freeze

Pour the juice into trays. Follow the instructions above, then pour the immunity juice between ice cube trays or silicone molds. You’ll likely need 2-3 trays if you’d like to freeze the entire juice recipe.
Freeze for 6-8 hours. Transfer the ice cube trays to the freezer and freeze for 6-8 hours, or until set. Once frozen, transfer the ice cubes to a freezer-safe bag or airtight container for storage for up 2-3 months.
Defrost. When ready to serve, remove the desired amount of cubes from the freezer and place them into a drinking glass. Cover the ice cubes with lukewarm water and allow the mixture to melt. Then stir, and enjoy!

Notes

Storage: If you’d like to keep it refrigerated, it will keep well in an airtight container for up to 3 days.
