Immune Smoothies—Recipe Inside!

I’m loving these immune smoothies.

Just toss the following ingredients into a blender and you’ve got a beverage that will make your immune cells happy. 💃

🥬 1 cup Leafy Greens

Spinach and kale are packed with antioxidants and beta carotene (the plant world’s precursor to vitamin A)—plus fiber and very few calories.

🥭 1 cup Frozen Fruits

Even during the winter months, you can get frozen pineapples, mangoes, or berries for a boost of vitamin C.

🥣1 cup Plain Greek Yogurt or Kefir

Fermented foods are teeming with probiotics to support the gut microbiome and immunity. These foods also add protein to the mix.

🥄 2 Tbsp Seeds

Hemp seeds, chia seeds, sesame seeds, and ground flax seeds provide essential omega-3 fats.

🥛Water or Unsweetened Almond Milk or Coconut Milk

Top it off with as much liquid as you need to get a sippable smoothie.

One of my favorite combos is spinach, raspberries, yogurt, chia seeds, and coconut milk. If I’m feeling fancy, I add a splash of vanilla and cinnamon.

Let me know what you think!
