Cold-Fighting Juice


Today, I feel like I am coming down with a cold, sore throat, inflamed sinuses and my left ear feels full again.  I haven't juiced in a few days. I am making a juice to help fight the cold. 

My juice contains: 
- three oranges 
- two carrots 
- Half a cucumber 
- a bunch of red grapes 
- a green pepper 
- a couple stocks of celery 
- and a bunch of cilantro.  

This juice will help kick the cold out of my system by giving it the support it needs.
