Okay! So this is a very important post, especially for right now, but in general it’s a great remedy to learn whenever you’re feeling under the weather.
When I am having a busy week and I know I am feeling run down, I often rely on this smoothie to provide me with all the micronutrients I need to boost my immune system. It works like a charm.
It’s my go-to for when I can feel a cold coming on.
So I think it’s the perfect recipe to share with all of you to keep your immune systems in check as we all try to protect ourselves during this time.
There’s very few ingredients, but they are each incredibly vital.
Ingredients:
- 1-2 green apples
- 2 pieces of celery
- 1 whole lime (peeled)
- 1-2 cups of frozen kale and spinach
Directions:
- Chop the apple in quarters and remove the stems.
- Place all the ingredients in the blender in the order listed under ingredients.
- Blend on high, stopping to scrape the sides when necessary.
- If it isn’t blending well, add in a splash of water or apple/cranberry juice to help liquify it.
- I prefer to stay away from all added sugars when I’m sick or feel a cold coming on because viruses feed off of sugar, but if water makes it too—well—watery for you, then a little splash of apple juice won’t hurt anyone.
Pour your pretty green juice into a glass with a straw and enjoy! It’s perfect for on the go and stores well in the refrigerator if you want to make it in advance.
