BLACK GRAPE IMMUNITY JUICE
A Black Grape Immunity Juice is a powerhouse of antioxidants, vitamin C and hydration, making it an excellent natural booster for the immune system. Black grapes are loaded with polyphenols, resveratrol and flavonoids that support heart health and overall wellbeing. The addition of lime juice enhances the citrusy tang and complements the natural sweetness of grapes while improving nutrient absorption. Add a cup of water to fix the consistency of the juice. This juice is a perfect daily drink to maintain hydration, reduce inflammation and promote glowing skin. With just three main ingredients, it’s simple to prepare yet bursting with flavour and health benefits, making it an excellent option for a morning refresher, pre-workout hydration or an evening detox.
