COLD AND FLU BUSTER GREEN SMOOTHIE
Already Sick? Try this GET WELL Green Smoothie
Cold and Flu Buster Green Smoothie – never thought I’d be writing about this so early in the season as I’m someone who’s managed to avoid getting sick for years. Reason being …. there is definitely a lot of truth behind the saying “you are what you eat”. And I credit this to growing my own fruits and vegetables.
But that aside, I’m living in the western USA and in one of the states that have been experiencing a lot of wildfires – so our air quality these past few months really sucks. The air, eating other people’s food, and mingling amongst many, turned out not to be a very good combination for me.
So now I am battling the flu. Which by the way, I managed to catch from the cutest and sweetest little 2-year-old boy – my grandson. So there’s no way I’m complaining here as it was definitely worth the visit.
But now that I’ve got the bug and am one who DOES NOT like to take OTC meds, I searched and found a couple of really good bevies that are not only filled with the vitamins and nutrients needed to build your immune system, but they’re also very soothing as they go down the back of a sore throat.
FLU SHOT SMOOTHIE
So this first Cold and Flu Buster Smoothie is called the Flu Shot Smoothie, which has GARLIC for antiviral properties, GREENS and CITRUS for vitamin C, and CELERY for gut support. Just blend and bottoms up.
