Citrus Bomb

Written By: Tiffany Bustamante

We all know that feeling when we wake up in the morning with a sore throat. You think it’s nothing until you end up coughing a couple days later. Your sinuses are backed up and you feel absolutely horrible, and these days we can’t take any chances. We need our immune systems to be stronger than ever!

To give your immune system a quick boost, I created a drink called “The Citrus Bomb” that’s so easy to make and only has two ingredients: orange juice and turmeric! Both of which can be found at your local grocery store.

Orange Juice is rich in vitamin C which, according to Healthline.com, “Vitamin C is a powerful antioxidant that can strengthen your body's natural defenses. Antioxidants are molecules that boost the immune system.”

Now here’s some more good news, turmeric contains curcumin. Healthline tells us that curcumin is “a substance with powerful anti-inflammatory and antioxidant properties”.

Ingredients and Quantities:

1 glass of orange juice (no specific amount)

½ a teaspoon of turmeric

How to make:

Pour yourself a glass of orange juice, add the turmeric, and stir until the powder is completely mixed in with the juice. And that’s it!
