This Orange Turmeric Immunity Boosting Juice is full of Vitamin A and C, and so delicious! It’s that time of year again…cold weather hits and the flu and cold season starts. This Orange Turmeric Immunity Boosting Juice will help ward off any cold and keep you full of energy!
Ok you guys, I don’t know about you but I am in dire need of some fresh juice! I’m back from vacation and feeling like a bloated hot mess. We spent all last week over the Thanksgiving holiday on a cruise ship visiting Cary. If you’re new to my blog, Cary is a musician that works on a cruise ship. Which means he’s gone like over half the year, so we’re fortunate enough every so often to be able to visit him on the ship.
Cruising is so much fun, if you’ve never been on a cruise I highly recommend going on one at least once in your life. It’s like a non stop foodie dream on the ship…ice cream for breakfast? Sure, why not! 😛
Seriously there were people that would be having ice cream for breakfast, no I was not one of them. I was more into having pizza for a midnight snack every single night, which for me being Gluten Free totally did my stomach in, ugh!
Then there’s dinner in the dining room every night. Who can resist sitting in the fancy dining room and ordering all of the delicious new food that they have on the menu! They give you this menu that has 5-6 appetizers to choose from, 5-6 entrees to choose, 5-6 side dishes…oh and wait don’t forget there’s 5-6 dessert options to choose as well! And you can order as much as you want from the menu…which I did.
Trust me I’m paying for my gluttony.
Ok so now I am in total detox mode, getting back to a normal semi-healthy diet again.
Time to juice!
This Orange Turmeric Juice is the perfect concoction to have especially before and after traveling. After being on a cruise ship for a week with over 3,000 people, and then being on an airplane with people coughing and sneezing all over the place…Yeah you get the picture.
Turmeric is such a wonderful super food. It’s known to have antibacterial and antiviral properties. So when you combine the Turmeric with the oranges and carrots which have tons of Vitamin A and C, this is where the immunity boosting happens.
Now let’s talk juicers. If you don’t have a juicer yet and are thinking of getting one, I recommend getting a mid-priced juicer. You don’t need to get the most expensive high end juicer out there, yes they are good but there’s no need to break the bank. However you don’t want to get the cheapy ones…there’s a saying ‘you get what you pay for’ and it’s true. The cheapy juicers just don’t seem to work as well, they create more pulp then juice, which seems like a waste of money to me.
The juicer I’ve been using for the last 3 years is the Omega J8004 Nutrition Center Commercial Masticating Juicer. It’s one of the best rated juicers for this price range, getting 4 1/2 out of 5 stars on Amazon.
When I bought this juicer I was a total newbie to juicing. I wanted something that was easy to put together and that created more juice and less pulp to get the max out of every vegetable or fruit I juiced. I gotta say I am totally in love with my juicer. AND if you’ve ever spent $6-$8 on a fresh juice at your local health foods store, then getting a juicer and juicing at home is a total money saver. That’s just my 2 cents on juicing. 🙂
If you try this juice let me know what you think by leaving a comment below! It’s super helpful to me and other readers!
Cheers!

Could I substitute ground turmeric if I don’t have fresh?
Yes you can substitute 1-2 tsp ground turmeric for this.
The body can not absorb the benefits of turmeric well. Therefore it needs to be taken with something fatty as the essential nutrients in it that we want to benefit from are fat soluble. Or if it is boiled like a tea a few black peppercorns with it will also help the absorption of it otherwise it will just pass right through the digestive system.
it needs the black pepper. i made this mistake before. this is a very important reminder, Nadya!!
Awesome and very simple to make immunity boosting juice recipe, Sara! I always love the feeling of getting back to my juicing regimen after I’ve been traveling or just not eating so great. Yep, guilty! 🙂
It’s never a bad thing to boost the immune system, and I’ve been boosting mine for years through juicing. Turmeric is great for this and, if you didn’t know, cilantro, thyme, and basil also have some good immune boosting properties. They don’t sound like they’d make tasty juicing ingredients, but if you simply add some orange juice to the mix, it tastes great.
I also love including turmeric, as well as ginger, in my anti-inflammatory juice recipes. I’ve read studies that have demonstrated that those two are as effective, without all of the side effects, as NSAIDS. You can’t go wrong with turmeric! I’m going to have to give this juice recipe a go, because I love carrot juice also. I could drink it all day. Ok, I have before. 🙂

Glad you like this Sean! Thanks for the tips on using the other herbs as well, I’ll have to try that! Juicing is great for the body and soul! 🙂
For sure, Sara. I’m going to have to dig through your blog, again, and find some more of your juice recipes. Happy juicing! 🙂

Apart from its high vitamin C content, there’s other nutrients in oranges. It is a good source of folate and fair source of vitamin A. It is also a fair to good source of minerals such as potassium, calcium, phosphorous and magnesium.
