    orange ginger green smoothieCold Fighting Power

    This green smoothie features vitamin C packed oranges and broccoli and immune boosting ginger to help fight off early spring colds. A particularly nasty chest cold is making its way through our house. My daughter was the first to succumb and I have spent the last few nights listening to my husband wheeze in his sleep. So far I’m the lone holdout – knock on wood.

    I’ve been fortunate in the cold department this winter. Working remotely helps, but I do have family members who like to bring germs home. I credit my seemingly strong immune system to following a plant-based diet, but as I listened to my daughter and husband hack and rasp I thought a little something extra might be in order. I developed this green smoothie recipe as a tasty way to get some additional immune boosting nutrients.
