Immune Booster Smoothie
I have to give credit to my patient for sharing this recipe with me! She found it in a Beauty Detox book filled with all kinds of nouroshing foods for glowing skin, healthy hair & nails and the side effect also happens to be a kick-ass immune system!
I just tried making my first batch today (you can make extra ahead of time and it keeps for 3 days!) and it was delicious!! I plan to add this to my nutrition plan every single day for a better immune system!
