It takes a little over 10 minutes to prepare a healthy mixture.

Much attention should be paid to the quality of ingredients, especially dried fruits. Better if you dry them yourself. You can take not only apricots and raisins, but also apples, plums, pears, persimmons, dates, etc.

Take a mixture of dried fruits and combine it with crushed nuts (can be whole), 0.5 liters of liquid honey, 2-3 lemons. Raisins should be mentioned separately. You can put more of it in the drug, both white and dark. It is important to wash it, dry it and only then put it in the composition for immunity.

For the following recipe, dried fruits need a certain variety. You will need:

0.5 kg of any raisins.
500 gr dried apricots.
500 gr prunes.
500 gr nuts.
0.5 liters of honey.
Big lemon.

Remove the bones from the lemon and cut it into slices along with the zest. Pass all dried fruits through a meat grinder. Add liquid honey. Thoroughly mix the contents and arrange in jars. Keep the product in a cold place. It is worth using a small spoonful (5-7 g) 3 times before meals.

A dried fruit drug for immunity is also prepared according to one more recipe. Take:

200-250 gr of a mixture of hazelnuts, walnuts, cedar, cashews;
20 gr pumpkin seeds (not fried);
30 gr sunflower kernels (not fried);
200 gr raisins;
100 gr prunes;
100 gr dried apricots;
50 gr figs;
a little bird cherry, currant, mountain ash or cranberry, cranberries;

You need to grind everything with a blender or pass through a meat grinder. Above is honey. Add vanilla for taste and smell. As soon as the first jar of funds ends and the second one is on the way, we prepare a new portion. It's not worth doing too much. It is better if the ingredients are fresh.

In addition to dried figs, prunes, dried apricots, raisins, dates can be added to the product. Many do not recommend using lemon, especially with zest. It's a matter of taste. It is believed that lemon is an excellent immune system protector. And with rather sweet dates, its acid will come to naught, but the beneficial substances will remain.

Some characteristic features

A variety of components in the mixture is welcome. Only foods that you are allergic to should be excluded. For example, most often undesirable reactions of the body are observed on peanuts. You have to be especially careful with nuts. In case of allergies, take less of these substances and only one of the types, i.e. use only walnuts or hazelnuts, almonds.

The use of heat-treated components is unacceptable. In some recipes, it is recommended that before preparing the product, dried fruits, pour boiling water, insist and dry. Such an action is permissible, since it cleans the raw material from dirt and eliminates toxic substances from it. Do not leave bones in dried fruits. Delete them. But figs, dates and bananas (if you use them in the product) should not be soaked.

Lemon zest can be removed as it imparts a bitter taste. Some doctors recommend warming the nuts in a skillet. In this case, it is not worth pouring honey immediately, since honey loses its properties when heated. It must be used fresh and mostly liquid grade, since the mass of the remaining components is quite thick. May honey, liquid buckwheat is suitable for impregnation and softening. Candied honey - optional. It is not recommended to melt honey before use.

The mixture is stored in the refrigerator for a very long time, but the tasty product quickly disappears, as it is well used as a sweet. Do not abuse the remedy. Eat on a spoon 2-3 times, no more. The mixture is high in calories, overweight people are advised to eat it with caution and on the advice of a doctor.

It is proved that the calorie content of the drug per 100 g is as follows:

Calories - 350-400.
Fats - about 14 gr.
Proteins - over 5 gr.
Carbohydrates - about 50 gr.

In a couple of spoons of funds:

50-70 kcal;
1 g of proteins;
more than 3 grams of fat;
13 grams of carbohydrates.

A mixture of dried fruits is also useful for children, but after 3-4 years. But they need to reduce the dose to a spoon a day. You need to take it on an empty stomach. Pay close attention to the reactions of the child's body. With diarrhea, allergic reactions, use should be discontinued. It's best to get your pediatrician's advice about dosage, ingredients, and how long to take your immune remedy beforehand. For a child's stomach, some of its components are too heavy (prunes, walnuts, hazelnuts, almonds).

Do not take the remedy in the evening. Nuts with prunes are too heavy for their stomach to digest in a dream. It is especially important to use the drug for people with excessive stress (not only physical, but also mental), for athletes.

In case of allergic reactions to any of the components of the product or to several of them at once, it is recommended not to use them or replace them with other products. Instead of honey, natural (home-made) jam from berries or fruits is suitable. But the mixture gives the most benefit in combination with dry fruits with lemon and honey.

One of the best ways to boost your body's defenses is with a simple, homemade and delicious remedy: Dried Fruit Immunity Vitamin Blend with Nuts, Honey, and Lemon.

Most cases of diseases are associated with a weakened immune system and many people resort to the help of pharmaceutical preparations (), vitamins or folk remedies.

In summer and early autumn, we do not have to worry too much about how to saturate the body with vitamins. These are the seasons when there is an abundance of fruits, vegetables and greens around.

These conditions, combined with warm and still dry weather, explain why we are less likely to complain about health during this period. In winter, it is more difficult with vitamins, since vegetables and fruits lose some of their beneficial properties during storage and freezing.

A mixture of dried fruits with lemon, nuts and honey will come to the rescue. Its components in combination with each other are very useful:

give a powerful immunostimulating effect;
compensate for the seasonal lack of vitamins;
improve metabolism;
tone up, give strength;
help to recover from illness and resist new infections in the future;
strengthen the heart muscle;
cleanse the vessels;
improve blood composition;
increase physical endurance.

A big plus of using a vitamin mixture is that it can be given even to small children, because. it consists only of pure natural products. The composition can be modified depending on the preferences and personal characteristics of the individual.

raisins - 200 gr.;
dried apricots - 200 gr.;
nuts - 200 gr.;
lemon - 1 pc.;
honey - 5-6 tbsp. l.

Astronauts call the mixture of these products "5-potassium dope", and for good reason, because each of these components contains an important mineral potassium, which has a beneficial effect on the functioning of the heart and is necessary for muscle tone.

How to prepare a mixture? The whole process can be divided into several stages:

Raisins and dried apricots will need to be washed in hot water and soaked a little.
Remove pits and, optionally, peel the lemon.
Walnuts are first freed from hard shells and internuclear partitions, and then dried in the oven or in a frying pan.
Steam the honey so that it becomes thinner, for convenience when further mixing the ingredients.
Prepared dried fruits, nuts and lemon must be chopped with a blender or an ordinary meat grinder.
Pour the resulting mass with honey.

The recipe allows for variations, so you can add all your favorite dried fruits to it, after removing the seeds from them - figs, dates, dried bananas, dried prunes, cranberries, etc. In addition to walnuts, use other nuts - cashews, pine nuts, hazelnuts, almonds.

If you do without lemons, you can make healthy sweets from this mixture. To do this, simply roll the balls, roll them in confectionery sprinkles or coconut flakes and leave in a cool place.

We also suggest that you familiarize yourself with another effective mixture to increase immunity at home in our article.

INGREDIENTS.
First, let's prepare all the necessary ingredients:
- Dried apricots - 200 grams
- Prunes - 200 grams
- Raisins - 300 grams
- Dates - 200 grams (optional)
- Nuts - 200 grams
- Honey - 1 tablespoon (if you need sweeter, put more)
- Lemon - 1 piece

COOKING.
So, we have prepared all the components of our magic vitamin mixture.

Let's start with dry fruits. Dried apricots, prunes, raisins are selected of better quality: clean and without wormholes. Wash them thoroughly with warm water in a colander. And then we pour almost boiling water over them to disinfect them. We sort through dried fruits in turn. And we remove the bones (if any), roots and debris from them.

Dried apricots are usually pitted at all. Therefore, it can not be particularly sorted out.

In PRUNES, bones occasionally come across, so it needs to be sorted out more carefully. And if there are bones, then we remove them.

RAISINS may contain small roots. Therefore, we also sort it out and clean it from roots and other debris.

NUTS may contain partitions that are not edible and may spoil the vitamin mixture. Therefore, we sort out the nuts and carefully remove all unnecessary from them.

Peel the LEMON (zest). Coarsely chop the rind and the lemon itself. Both will go into our vitamin mixture. We also use zest, because. it also contains valuable substances. I have tried with and without zest. It turns out delicious in both cases. You choose the more suitable option.

You can also add dates. But this is also optional. Some people like them, some don't.
When we finally prepared all the ingredients, we proceed to grind them.

Here you can use 2 options.
1 option. Grind everything in a blender. It turns out quickly and finely.
Option 2. Grind with a knife and hands. Cut dried fruit into small pieces with a knife. Lemon cut smaller to a more homogeneous mass. The nuts are broken by hand.

I did it first with a blender. Then I tried to do it manually. Sometimes you just want to feel the taste of individual dried fruits, chew nuts. So choose the right one for you here. If you don't want to mess around for a long time, do it with a blender. If you have time and like large pieces of dried fruit, do it by hand.
If we do it by hand, we get this mixture.

If we do in a blender.
Place the ingredients one by one in a blender and bring to the desired consistency.
Then we put all the ingredients in a saucepan and mix everything together.
Add 1 tablespoon of honey (or more if you like it sweeter). And mix well again. "Vitamin mixture of dried fruits with nuts, honey and lemon" is ready.

And then we transfer the already prepared mixture into jars. You can use both glass and plastic.

This immune mixture is best stored in the refrigerator. Or some other cool place.
The mixture can be eaten immediately after preparation. It is advisable to eat it fresh, i.e. within 2-3 weeks. Because the longer it sits, the less valuable "Vitamin Mix with Dried Fruits, Nuts, Honey and Lemon" becomes. Any natural product should be eaten quickly while it is fresh.

And, of course, with this absolutely amazing means of nutrition, healing and recovery, you will maintain your health for many years to come.
The wise Hippocrates said: "Let food be your medicine, and medicine be your food."
Therefore, be healthy!
