Immune Boosting Smoothie

It's important to keep your immune system strong, especially during cold and flu season! Life is too busy to get slowed down by sickness, so do everything to keep your body as strong as possible. What we put into our bodies matters, especially if we want to keep our immune system strong. When sickness is upon us, sometimes our  appetites vanish, which makes it hard to get the nutrients we need for our bodies to heal. Smoothies are a great way to get nutrients when sick with no appetite!

The smoothie I just made has lots of beneficial fruits and vegetables in it to promote healing. I added strawberries, raspberries, mango, kale, and pure orange juice. 

• Berries are very high in antioxidants, Vitamin C and B.
• Mangoes are high in vitamin A and C.
• Kale has protein, Alpha-linolenic acid (which is an omega-3 fatty acid), and Vitamins A, C, K.

Most people know that vitamin C is important when you are sick, but there are lots of other vitamins that are important. 

Here is a list of important  vitamin rich foods !
