Put the fruit in a blender and cover with oat milk. Add the spices and oil and blend. Garnish with cinnamon.

Immune Boosting Grapefruit Juice:

What you will need: 
6-8 mint leaves
1 red grapefruit
2 handfulls of strawberries
1 small fresh piece of ginger
1/2 tbs of vanilla powder

Blend everything together in a juicer or blender. If you use a blender, muddle the mint leaves first.

Kale, Apple and Lemon Juice:


What you will need:
5 small organic apples
1/2 of a lemon peeled
1 inch of fresh Ginger
