Flu-Fighting Immune-Boosting Smoothie
I type this in the midst of the COVID Coronavirus outbreak to share a smoothie recipe that can be made with a few easy-to-attain ingredients packed with antioxidants and Vitamin C that are known immune boosters. As a disclaimer, in no way do I claim that this will have any impact on the current flu virus our world is fighting, but I do know that these ingredients help our bodies fight by strengthening our immunity.
This makes two large glasses.
4 medium navel oranges (or other sweet citrus such as tangerines, mandarin oranges, tangelos), peeled
1/2 fresh lemon, juiced (or you could use lime)
1 quarter-sized or 2 teaspoons fresh ginger, peeled
1 big handful of fresh spinach (or kale)
2-3 cups of ice cubes
2 teaspoons of pure maple syrup or honey, to taste (you may prefer a little more)
(VERY OPTIONAL - a pinch of cayenne pepper as the Hubs prefers this kick but I do not add it)
Blend until smooth and enjoy.
Stay healthy friends.
