With the Summer heat now behind us, crisp Fall weather is a welcome change. But even though temperatures are dropping, seasonal allergies are on the rise. And let’s not forget that the cold and flu season is just a few weeks away.
This is the perfect time to take steps to protect yourself from allergens, germs, and viruses by strengthening your immune system. In our newest recipe, the warm autumn flavors of apple and ginger come together with our organic aloe juice to create a delicious mocktail designed to boost immunity and keep allergies in check!
Natural Immunity Boosting Ingredients
- Apple: The old “an apple a day keeps the doctor away” adage may be well founded. The significant amount of antioxidants, phytochemicals, and vitamin C found in apples (especially when you leave the skin on) help support the immune system and regulate inflammatory responses. Apples also contain quercetin, an antioxidant credited with reducing allergic rhinitis (aka hay fever) and asthma symptoms.
- Ginger: This popular seasoning, known for its distinctive spicy flavor, provides several health benefits. The root’s primary ingredient, gingerol, is a powerful antioxidant with antimicrobial and antifungal properties that enhance immunity. And ginger also contains natural antihistamine, anti-oxidative, and anti-inflammatory abilities that qualify it as an excellent natural allergy remedy.
- Aloe: This recipe features our Inner Filet Aloe Juice, made from the interior of our organically grown aloe plants. Clinically proven as a superior immune system builder, Lily aloe juices boost white blood cells and reduce toxins. Consistent use naturally builds immunity to better protect you from germs and illness.
Here’s Our Mocktail Recipe:
- 4 oz. Inner Filet Aloe Vera Juice
- One apple, chopped
- 4 oz. lemon juice
- 1 knob of fresh ginger, sliced

Have These Items Handy:
