Want to Boost your Immune System? Try this Juice...

During these tough times it is more important than ever to keep your immune system strong and working properly.  Ingredients in this "Superjuice" have been scientifically researched and proven to fight off infection, reduce inflammation, and bolster your immune system.  This juice is the powerhouse you pick when that familiar itch starts in your throat and your nose isn't circulating air quite the way it should.  It's time to call on The B.C.G.T. 

The B.C.G.T. Powerhouse

Beet. Carrot. Ginger. Turmeric. What do they all have in common? Well, aside from being root vegetables, each one is packed with properties proven to help keep colds away and soothe cold and flu like symptoms.  This juice brings the heat and will help numb sore throats and clear up those sinuses.  Both refreshing and fortifying, The B.C.G.T. goes down easy even when nothing else sounds good.

Ingredients:

- 1 Beet(peeled and chopped)

- 3 Carrots(chopped)

- 1 Blood Orange(peeled and quartered)

- 1/2 Lemon(peeled and quartered)

- 2 inch piece Turmeric Root(or 1 tsp Turmeric powder)

- 1 inch piece Ginger

- Pinch of Cayenne Pepper

- Pinch Black Pepper(optional)

- Ice

Instructions:

Blend or juice all ingredients except for the ice, cayenne, and black pepper.  Once blended to a smooth consistency, transfer to a cup/bottle(we recommend either the 26oz Shaker Bottle or 26oz Flex Bottle), add a pinch of cayenne pepper and black pepper, mix in ice and enjoy!

Pro Tip: Fresh juice like this is best served immediately and cold.  If you would like to preserve it for a couple days, store it in an air tight container.  If your storage container is plastic or glass, you MUST store in a refrigerator.  Or, you may store in a vacuum insulated, stainless steel bottle with ice and avoid refrigeration.  A 26oz Ice Shaker bottle is the perfect storage vessel for any kind of freshly pressed juice as it can hold ice for over 30 hours and is air tight.  Find yours here and get juicing!
