Crushing the winter colds with this Immune Boosting Smoothie…
I actually hesitated to post this smoothie because it seems as though everyone and their mother are talking about smoothies right now. Something about January must just scream smoothies because they seem to be trending.
Anyway, after a lot of back and forth, I decided that I really just needed to share this smoothie with you guys.
One, it is too pretty not share.
Two, it is too full of good for us things not to share.
Three, it is way too freaking delicious not to share.
So I am sharing…bring on the January smoothies!
In all honesty, I am not usually the biggest smoothie person. I really just prefer to eat my food rather than drink it, but I have times when a smoothie is all I crave. Whenever I make smoothies, I have to make sure they are one, not boring, and two, filled with both veggies and fruits.
Enter this elderberry smoothie. It is a mix of frozen bananas, berries – strawberries, raspberries, blueberries – and dried elderberries.
As you can tell from the ingredients in the recipe below, this smoothie is jam-packed with vitamins and plenty of nutrients like fiber and antioxidants. It will keep your immune system strong and help you to feel your best plus stay energized all day long!
Um, and did I mention it’s also addictingly good? Kind of like candy? I swear.
Anyway, this makes for a great morning immune boosting smoothie or mid-afternoon snack, and no matter what, it is going to brighten your day. That I know for sure!
