Seasonal: Green Carrot Ginger Juice
By Isabel Smith, MS, RD, CDN
If you want to ward off any sort of seasonal flu that is going around then load up on this juice super-packed with immune-boosting, heart-healthy ginger. Ginger has vitamin B-6 and minerals like magnesium and manganese. Vitamin B-6 and the minerals found in ginger have been shown to be beneficial for preventing heart disease, balancing blood sugar, preventing muscle aches and cramping, and for soothing an upset stomach.
In addition to ginger, the kale in this juice is packed with bone-healthy calcium, the carrots are packed with eye-healthy beta carotene, and the pear is loaded with colon-healthy quercitin. Take this juice with you to work, drink it after a workout to help prevent muscle soreness, or simply enjoy it anytime you feel like a big nutrient boost.
