Lon and I haven’t been feeling great. Poor Lon has the flu and I have a mean cold. We started the week off with lots of gingerale but it’s a silly tradition for illness because there’s no ginger in it. The carbonation may help but we were still missing out on all the wonderful health benefits of ginger. I started thinking about how the standard commercial ginger ale didn’t taste all that great either, and that’s how the Strawberry Ginger Juice came about. It’s quite spicy from fresh ginger so cut down a bit if you don’t like it so strong and the agave sweetener is optional because it depends on how sweet your strawberries are.
Strawberry Ginger Juice
~1 serving
- 9 oz hulled strawberries
- 0.5 oz peeled fresh ginger
- 2 teaspoons freshly squeezed lime juice
- 1 teaspoon agave sweetener (optional)
Instructions –
Put strawberries and ginger through a juicer, collecting juice in a small cup. Stir in lime juice and agave (if using). Drink and rest up.

ooooh that actually sounds yum! and I’m not even sick! Nothing beats ginger when you are sick though – i stick to the old recipe of ginger, lemon, honey and hot water.
hope y’all feel better soon! no fun when tastebuds don’t co-operate!
Oooh feel healthy and zingy just looking at this!
My mom likes to make ginger fried rice when she has a cold.
Sounds great! Feel better!
I’ve always found Hot and Sour soup to be great when stuffed up & sore throat–if you have any appetite that is…but ginger is good for a bad stomach. I drink ginger teas then with a little honey.
What an excellent, healthy & energizing morning smoothy! I totallt adore it! yum Yum Yum!
sorry you kids are under the weather! on a brighter note, i think the combination of ingredients sounds great, as a drink, dessert, candy, whatever!
