Why These Immunity Bombs?

Ginger has been used for centuries to promote digestion, reduce inflammation, and fight off colds. It’s known for its ability to boost circulation and improve the body’s ability to fight infection. This aromatic root contains gingerols, a powerful compound which has powerful anti-inflammatory and antioxidant properties (National Institutes of Health, 2020) Combined with fresh orange and lemon, these ingredients give the body a powerful dose of vitamin C, which is crucial for immune support. And let’s not forget about raw honey—this natural sweetener is packed with antioxidants and can help soothe a sore throat while providing additional antibacterial benefits.(Pharmocognosy Research, 2009).

How to Make Kickass Ginger Immunity Bombs

Creating these immunity cubes is quick and easy, and you’ll have a batch ready in no time. Here’s what you’ll need:

Ingredients:

3-4 inches of fresh ginger root
1 peeled orange
1 peeled lemon
¼ cup of raw honey

Directions:

Prepare the Ingredients: Start by peeling your orange, lemon, and ginger. For the ginger, simply slice it into smaller pieces to make it easier to blend.
Puree the Ingredients: Add the ginger, orange, lemon, and raw honey to a blender or food processor. Blend everything together until it’s a smooth puree.
Freeze the Mixture: Once your mixture is ready, transfer it into an ice cube tray, filling each compartment with the puree. Freeze for at least 2 hours, or preferably overnight, until the cubes are solid. Silicone ice cube trays work best.
Store and Serve: Once the cubes are frozen, remove them from the tray and store them in a sealed container in the freezer.
