In today’s world, most working people are dealing with a societal health crisis on a time crunch. Your breakfast, lunch, and dinner are all crucial pieces to making sure your immune system can protect you from illness. These are eight quick recipes for healthy people on the move.
Juices
Water helps the organs activate, so be sure to try and begin your day with proper hydration. These quick recipes only need fruit, water, and a juicer or blender.
Find the potency level you enjoy most by changing the amount of water you add to your juice. Try adding a personal touch by adding your favorite herbs for extra vitamins, minerals, and fiber. If you don’t have a juicer that separates the pulp from the juice, you can try these recipes with a blender as long as you don’t mind drinking around froth or pulp.
Apple orange ginger juice
Ingredients:
- Three cored apples
- Two peeled oranges
- A thumb’s length of ginger root
The peel of the apple and the ginger root hold valuable nutrients. Try adding honey for a little extra sweetness or extra ginger for an exciting boost. Peel (or don’t peel, your choice) your group of fruits, throw them in the juicer and add water.
Date lime-lemonade
Ingredients:
- Two peeled lemons
- One peeled lime
- A handful of whole dates
The acidity of citrus aids the immune system and the digestive process and is complemented naturally by dates. Add dates to make your drink sweeter and try washing, then freezing them for a cold treat in the morning.

Save some in a thermos for later if you’re really on the run.
