Flu Season Survival Kit: Juicing Edition

Flu season has a way of showing up right when life is already full. Someone in the house starts sniffling, your energy dips, your appetite feels off, and suddenly you want simple options that still feel supportive.

That’s where a juicing survival kit can help. It removes decision fatigue so you’re not trying to figure out what to eat or drink when you’re already run down. A few go-to juices and shots on hand can feel like quiet support on tired, busy days.

The key is keeping it realistic - raw juice is meant to be enjoyed fresh, so think “use it now,” not stockpiling.

Hydration First, Then Everything Else

When you’re under the weather, dehydration can sneak up quickly - especially with low appetite or dry winter air. Cold-pressed juices and citrus-forward drinks can make it easier to get fluids in, but water still matters alongside them.

At Purée, our juices are meant to be enjoyed fresh within a short window, which naturally supports the idea of a simple, realistic kit.

Survival kit move:
Keep water nearby and pair it with a hydrating juice (cucumber, celery, or citrus profiles) to help fluids stay steady throughout the day.

Vitamin C Blends That Are Easy to Drink

Vitamin C supports normal immune function and acts as an antioxidant, but it works best as part of an overall pattern - regular fruit and vegetable intake, hydration, and rest.

Citrus blends are a practical anchor during flu season because they’re packed with anti-oxidants and are often easier to tolerate when appetite is low.

Our Farma-C, Gold Rush and Jamu are our go-to’s for cold + flu. 

Purée’s seasonal Vita C Smoothie is built around ingredients like orange, ginger, turmeric, pineapple, mango, coconut, and beet - comforting, familiar flavors that go down easily.

Survival kit move:
Try a juice, smoothie and a soup to get lots of hydration and micronutrients 

Ginger and Turmeric for your anti-inflammatory needs

Ginger and turmeric shine during flu season because of their warming, healing properties. Purée offers several options depending on how intense you want to go:

• Ginger Shot (just ginger)

• Turmeric Shot (just turmeric)

• Lemon Shot (just lemon)

• Detox Shot (turmeric, ginger, lemon, cayenne, apple, Himalayan salt)

• Pyro Shot (ginger, turmeric, lemon, cayenne)

We love having shots on hand for their powerful boost and to add to hot water. 

Survival kit move:
Sip hot teas throughout the day to stay hydrated - stir in some Ginger and Lemon mixed with honey into hot water. Stir in Turmeric and Ginger with cinnamon powder into hot water.
