How to make an Immunity Smoothie 

Apple 

HEALTH BENEFITS OF APPLES:

It’s naturally sweet from the fruit. “An apple a day keeps a doctor away” has truth to it, apples are very nutritional. They contain a good source of vitamin C and fiber. Apples could also help with weight loss since they are so filling from the fiber.

This is so true, when I went sugar-free, I ate an apple every time I wanted to eat something sweet or have a snack. They helped me stop the sweet cravings and made me feel full.

Carrot 

HEALTH BENEFITS OF CARROTS:

Vitamin A in carrots helps prevent vision loss but also helps with boosting your immune system. Studies show that eating more antioxidant-rich fruits, like carrots can help reduce the risks of illness. This sweet vegetable is available all year long and is used in a variety of dishes.

Ginger

HEALTH BENEFITS FO GINGER:

Ginger is filled with immune-boosting benefits. It makes one it one of the go-to ingredients when sick or trying to boost your immune. Ginger is antibacterial, which means it helps support immunity. In addition, it helps to prevent nausea and an upset stomach and regulate blood pressure.

Water

WHY I NEED TO DRINK WATER:

Water is the best way to keep hydrated. Grownups are 60 percent water, and our blood is 90 percent water. Our digestive system depends on how hydrated we are,  dehydration can lead to digestive problems, which can then increase the risk of serious diseases. Drink at least eight cups of water a day is important.

Can I make the smoothie ahead of time?

You could make this smoothie ahead, by blending all ingredients together in a blender, then pour into a freezer-safe jar and freeze it overnight. The night before you plan to drink it, place the smoothie in the fridge to defrost. But just like any fruit and vegetable smoothie, this immune booster smoothie is best when freshly served.

What blender do you use to make smoothies?

For a small amount of smoothie, for 1-2 people I use a small Magic bullet like this one here. When I make for more than two people or want to save some for later, I used this powerful Vitamix blender.

What do I need to make this recipe?

Apples are filled with fiber and vitamin C.

Carrots contain beta-carotene and have lots of antioxidants.

Ginger boosts your immune system and is antibacterial.

Water keeps you hydrated and supports digestive processes.
