IMMUNE-BOOSTING LEMON GINGER AND TURMERIC CUBES

FEEL-GOOD INGREDIENTS

  • Fresh Ginger- great for digestion, fresh ginger contains compounds that can help your body fight off bacteria and viruses. Using fresh, peeled ginger is key here. I don’t recommend substituting anything from a tube or a jar, and especially not ground ginger.
  • Fresh Turmeric- the most active compound in turmeric, curcumin, is a potent antioxidant that has many health benefits including fighting free radicals. Just like the ginger, you want to be sure you are using fresh peeled turmeric, not ground turmeric powder. It can be tough to find but most local health food stores tend to carry it.
  • Lemon Juice- bursting with Vitamin C and citric acid, lemon juice can aid in immune health and may also prevent kidney stones. The bright citrus flavor pairs perfectly with spicy ginger and earthy turmeric.

EASY TO MAKE

It’s as easy as blending all three ingredients together in a blender then straining and pouring into an ice cube tray. I used my Vitamix since I know it can handle breaking down tough bits of fresh ginger and turmeric but a NutriBullet should also be tough enough to do the job.

Once the cubes are frozen, you simply add them to a cup with water and let them melt to form a delicious, zingy and healthy drink!

These cubes are definitely going to make winter more bearable. I hope you get a chance to try them!
