Our 5 Favorite Immune Boosting Beverages
Secret Detox Drink
Immune Booster: Apple Cider Vinegar
Superpowers: The ingredients in this drink read like a who’s who in the immune support world, though it’s the apple cider vinegar that really makes it a standout. Rich in enzymes and beneficial bacteria, AVC promotes a healthy intestinal tract, which supports overall immunity. AVC also has strong antiviral properties due to its malic acid, which is why some people drink it daily to keep colds at bay.
Honey Lemon Ginger Tea
Immune Boosters: Ginger
Superpowers: According to research published by BMC Complementary and Alternative Medicine consuming ginger is shown to activate T cells, which are the white blood cells that destroy viruses. Paired with soothing honey and Vitamin-C packed lemon, this powerful beverage goes down easy.
Perfect Coconut Matcha Latte
Immune Booster: Matcha
Superpowers: Matcha is a natural immune booster due to its impressive antioxidant content, in particular the antioxidant Epigallocatechin Gallate (EGCG) which is shown to support T cell production. Blended with coconut milk and a touch of honey, it’s easy to put this frothy green drink in regular rotation.
Pink Beetroot Latte
Immune Booster: Beetroot
Superpowers: Beets are rich in Vitamin C, folate, manganese, iron and phytochemicals, which all support a healthy immune system. Beets are also powerful blood “detoxifiers” due to glutathiones, which cleanse the body of heavy metals. While the nutrition properties are impressive, we fell in love with this rosy beverage at first sight.
Warm & Spicy Apple Carrot Drink
Immune Booster: Carrot
Superpowers: The beta-carotene in carrots supports more than just vision health. Research shows that this powerful antioxidant also aids the body’s mucus membrane, which lines the respiratory and intestinal tracts. Fortification of these bodily systems makes it more difficult for harmful bacteria to gain traction in the body and enter the bloodstream to cause illnesses. In addition to mounting your body’s immune defenses, the warming spices in this beverage make it an easy seasonal favorite of our immune boosting beverages.
