So I am catching a bug and before it comes to stay I'm trying to get it out! Did you know that ginger has powerful anti-inflammatory and antioxidant effects? Vitamin C found in oranges also contain flavonoids, which can help boost the immune system and are great for speeding up recovery. Carrots are a rich source of antioxidants and supply essential minerals, vitamins and enzymes that aid in digestion. These 3 clean foods can help you kick the bug before it settles in!!

Makes 2, 4 oz servings
Time: 5 min
What You'll Need:
9 oz Carrots
2.5 Navel Oranges
6 Tbsp Fresh Ginger
Directions:
1. Be sure you cut your fruits into small pieces. It helps the juicer out! Also peel your ginger before you juice it! The tough exterior clogs mine up!
2. Slowly feed the fruit into the juicer. Make sure you have a secure cup catching the juice!
3. Sip and enjoy!
This is the juicer I use by Black and Decker:

After Oven:
6. Place stuffed peppers back into the oven for 10-15 more minutes; until the cheese is golden brown.

*If you wanted to make these a little more hearty, cook quinoa or brown rice and stuff in the bottom of the peppers before adding the veggie/meat mix!
