Carrot Apple Ginger Juice

I love this delicious and easy juice .  It is also a great immune booster as we head into colder weather.  Fresh fruits and veggies are full of great nutrients that can help keep your immune system strong.  Since I am rolling in apples right now, I added one to this juice to add some sweetness.

These three ingredients are a power house of immune protection.  Apples contain immune boosting and anti-inflammatory properties. Carrots benefit the heart, lungs, skin, eyes, and  immune system as well as fight infection. Ginger stimulates circulation and also has anti-inflammatory abilities. 







  • 4 Carrots
  • 1 Apple
  • 3/4 inch Chunk of Ginger







Juice and Enjoy!

Homemade Apple Sauce

Homemade Clean Apple Sauce is delicious and easy to make!  It also tastes better than the apple sauce you would buy at the store, and has no added sugar, preservatives, colors or chemicals.



Ingredients:
6 Apples
2 Cinnamon Sticks
1 tsp Lemon Juice
Water
1 Tbsp Raw Honey (optional)

What you need:
Sauce Pot
Blender or Food Processor







Making your own homemade apple sauce is quick and easy! First wash and peel your apples.




 Once peeled, slice your apples and remove the core.  Then place your sliced apples and cinnamon sticks in a saucepan and fill with water.  You want the water to be level with the apples without actually covering your apples.  




Cook your apples on high heat for about 15 minutes until they are soft and all the water has been absorbed. Once cooked, place the apples (minus the cinnamon sticks) into your blender or food processor. Now add the lemon juice and raw honey if you want to add a sweetener. If your apples are tart, you may want to add the  honey to balance out the flavor.  Blend until the apples are broken down. 

Now you can serve and enjoy your applesauce! 



 You can store your fresh homemade apple sauce in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to a week or freeze.


 ENJOY!
