Pro tips

  • You can find vitamin C powder online, just make sure you source one that is plant based and non-GMO, like this one here. Most vitamin C supplements are synthetic and derived from GMO corn which can cause issues on the cellular level. Learn more about it here.

  • Adding the cinnamon directly to the finished juice will give you little specs of the spice. If you rather not have the specs of spice, you can add the cinnamon directly to the press with the lemon.

  • No red apples? Add green apples for a more tart flavor profile.

  • Looking for even more nutrition during flu season? Add kale or leafy greens to turn this into a green juice recipe. Parsley in particular can add an extra spicy kick and immune-supporting phytonutrients.

  • Using a Goodnature press? No need to peel your citrus fruits, just quarter and place in the press! If you don’t have a juice press, peel the lemon and place into your juicer with the rest of the ingredients.

  • Consider adding fresh turmeric for a rich yellow color and extra immune system support. Alternatively, add beets or carrots for added beta-carotene and vitamin A!
