Orange and grape juice with fresh turmeric, mint and lemon juice. A nutritious and delicious juice, perfect drink with your daily breakfast.
These days doctors advise everyone to take vitamin C enriched orange daily as a immunity booster. Grapes are also rich in vitamin C and A. So you can call it a immunity booster drink. Orange and grapes are naturally sweet so you don’t need to add any sweetener in it. I have made it 1 serving so used 1/2 cup grapes but you can use 1 cup grapes if you want. You can also increase the amount of turmeric. Use 1/2 to 1 teaspoon if you like the flavour.
Oranges are known for their high Vitamin C content. They are also rich in many anti-oxidants and carotenoids which are known to boost your immune system. Oranges can help in shielding the body from many types of infections and even the growth of cancerous cells. Regular consumption of Oranges can safeguard your body.

Grapes also support immunity. In addition to the aforementioned vitamins C and A, which are both vital for immunity, grapes support the immune system through their natural anti-microbial properties. A one cup portion also supplies about two and a half ounces of water, which is important for hydration, circulation and healthy blood flow, and waste elimination. Source
