Cold and Flu Wellness Juices
It is my belief that plant foods heal. Live foods, like our fresh, organic cold pressed juices, green smoothies, and other raw foods, along with a diet of whole foods, offer an abundance of nutrients that give the body everything it needs to rebuild, restore, and revitalize this human machine of ours, as well as keep our immune system strong.
With cold and flu season around the corner, the kiddos starting back at school, and Covid still lurking, we want to make sure you know of all the wellness and prevention offerings found in our juices.

IMMUNE BOOSTING JUICES:
DOCTOR RX: Our Doctor Rx juice is inspired by our belief that when we make the conscious choice to eat the right foods, those foods have the ability to heal the body rather than hinder it (like those in the Standard American Diet aka SAD).
Our Doctor Rx juice is made of all organic celery, cucumber, carrot, red bell pepper, turmeric, garlic, lemon and sea salt.
Garlic has immense antibacterial properties and has been long been held as a powerful superfood of prevention during the cold and flu season. Garlic is also a potent antiviral, as are ginger and turmeric.
Some may wonder why we add sea salt to this juice. Contrary to popular belief, sea salt is extremely beneficial in keeping us hydrated. The amount of nutrients in sea salt also satisfies our thirst for a longer period of time and keeps us holding on to the fluids for longer by helping our cells absorb the H2O.
GOLD RUSH JUICE BOMBS: Big things come in little packages they say! So true when it comes to our 2 oz Gold Rush shots. These super-condensed, delicious shots are a great immunity boost as well as great for fighting inflammation and easing headaches, body aches and pains due to the potent organic ginger and turmeric. The flavor is amazing when combined with the right amount of pineapple, apple cider vinegar, and cayenne. We know we struck gold when we developed this ginger-turmeric shot recipe!
Gold Rush contains a hefty amount of fresh pressed, organic, local turmeric and ginger which are loaded with antiviral, antibacterial, and anti-inflammatory properties. Inflammation is now being linked to just about every health condition. According to a Harvard Medical School report, “Chronic inflammation plays a central role in some of the most challenging diseases of our time, including rheumatoid arthritis, cancer, heart disease, diabetes, asthma, and even Alzheimer’s.”
It is because of this, as well as the incredible way ginger tastes when blended correctly in a juice recipe, that we have several juices on our rotation that include this incredible root!
TIP: We highly recommend adding ginger root into your daily consumption for prevention. Keep frozen ginger root in your freezer and zest some into sparkling water. Add an inch into a blended smoothie or juice! Boil ginger root in water for a potent pain reliever tea. The options are endless!
ELDERBERRY WELLNESS SHOTS: Elderberry is one of the most well recognized natural remedies and preventative herbs for the cold and flu season. These drinks are packed with antioxidants, flavonoids and vitamin C. Our all organic elderberries are boiled down in reverse osmosis water and blended with organic lemon, organic ceylon cinnamon, and local Kittrell’s honey.
According to Web MD “Limited studies have found that elderberry eases flu symptoms like fever, headache, sore throat, fatigue, cough, and body aches. The benefits seem to be greatest when started within 24 to 48 hours after the symptoms begin. One study found that elderberry could cut the duration of flu symptoms by more than 50%. A few studies have suggested that elderberry could help with bacterial sinus infections or bronchitis.”
For prevention, elderberry is a potent anti-inflammatory and said to contain compounds which decrease the ability of viruses to infect cells.
Disclaimer: These statements regarding the benefits of elderberry are for educational purposes and not intended as medical advice. Always consult your doctor regarding any special considerations you may have with your personal health history. *Other parts of the elderberry plant should not be eaten, and women who are pregnant or breastfeeding are not recommended to take elderberry according to NCCIH (National Center for Complimentary Integrative Medicine.)
SASSY SATSUMA: Once fall comes through our area, we are blessed with the plentiful and local citrus favorite - satsumas! We pair our satsuma juice with just the right amount of organic ginger and freshly harvested, local, organic turmeric to bring out all the delicious citrus flavor.
Our Sassy Satsuma juice is full of anti-inflammatory, antiviral, and antibacterial properties and loads of Vitamin C! Mother Nature absolutely knows what to grow during cold and flu season to keep us healthy. Some of the main satsuma benefits are:
Protects skin health
Strengthens the immune system
Wards away colds, flu and viruses
High in vitamins A, B1, B2, B3, B5, B6, B9 (Folate), C and E and even Zinc!
While our Sassy Satsuma is a seasonal juice, it is similar to our popular Jubilee juice which is one of our main-stays consistently available year round. It is also abundant in the immune boosting and anti-inflammatory organic ginger and turmeric!
The above list is just a smattering of our most popular juices that can boost immunity. In fact, all of our juices have nutritious ingredients that benefit your health. See our list below and our Juice page for more information on our ingredients.
Check out our Facebook and Instagram pages for the line-up of what’s currently in-season and available at Warehouse Bakery and our retail space next to Battles Wharf Market in Point Clear.
