Immune Booster Smoothie

September 19, 2020 by Paul Alves | Last Modified: September 24, 2020

To defend ourselves from the elements, we need to prepare the immune system before the ice cold winter arrives.

Autumn (Fall) is knocking at the door and some of us continue to run around at a fast pace (school runs, deliveries, long hours in the office, etc).

So, to do that, in today’s post we will share (below) the ultimate “immunity booster smoothie” to help you fight the flu and keep you healthy longer.

Keeping energy levels going during the flu season isn’t very difficult and it shouldn’t be optional. Especially in these difficult times.

Delicious Booster Smoothie

So, here is a super delicious immune booster smoothie packed with plenty of antioxidants, vitamins along with other must have nutrients.

Immune booster ingredients layed on a flat wooden board.
Immune booster ingredients ready to use

Get or buy your ingredients as follows:

  • Spinach, or Kale or Broccoleaf (handful)
  • 1 Kiwi (peeled)
  • 1 banana
  • 1 small cup of diced mango
  • Handful of blueberries
  • Half a lemon
  • 250 – 300ml of water

Preparation

Note: There isn’t a particular way to start your smoothie recipe. It makes sense to start with solid ingredients first.

You can add the banana, Kiwi, blueberries, diced mango pieces, then add spinach or Kale to the mix. Finally, squeeze the lemon juice in (half) – (you can use a spoon) so you will get all the juice out.

At this point you can blend it together before adding the filtered water and spoon in your powder if you like.

Two Glasses of Immune Booster

Kiwi Fruit Factoids

We found that there are some inconclusive studies about the Kiwi’s overall health benefits. But it seems that it also protects our DNA. However, it’s known to us that there are certain compounds in the kiwi fruit that gives us this ultra protective antioxidant with massive healing properties.

You’ll mostly benefit from other nutrients most commonly known with kiwi fruit such as:

  • vitamin C
  • vitamin K
  • vitamin E
  • potassium
  • fibre


Powerful smoothie booster variation

You can also replace the spinach with broccoleaf or Kale if you have it. Also you could use pineapple fruit, as it contains high levels of vitamin C and manganese, this fruit has good amount of vitamin B in it.

Keep the daily goodness in for longer with this super delicious immune booster.

Let us know what you think.

Blending all fresh and frozen ingredients

Diced Mango fruit inside the blender

Chocolate Banana Maca Smoothie

August 21, 2015 by Eve | Last Modified: August 28, 2015

chocolate smoothie

Cocoa banana maca smoothie

Rich, smooth, and chocolatey goodness!  This is my all time favorite smoothie for a mid-day energy boost.  It is super healthy packed full of potassium, magnesium, antioxidants and energy boosters!  I make it with coconut milk, however almond milk would work too. It is really important to use both a room temperature banana and a half of a frozen banana to give it the smooth texture. Learn how to freeze bananas here.

 

Cacao Powder

Cacao contains the highest concentration of magnesium and antioxidants of any food on the planet! It is more frequently known as cocoa powder.  However there is a huge difference… the temperature in which it is processed & the additives.  Raw cacao powder is fermented, sun-dried and pressed, so it never reaches a temperature above 114 degrees which helps to maintain its health benefits.  It also does not have any extra additives, such as sugar.  Who knew you could get a rich chocolatey taste with zero sugars and it has been said to be a cancer fighter!

Raw maca gelatinized powder

Maca is a superfood grown high in the mountains plateaus of the Peruvian Andes. Raw maca powder can be tough to digest, so I recommend the gelatinized maca powder. It is a concentrated form made by extracting the starch, making the maca more digestible and the nutrients more bioavailable for increased absorption.

I hope you enjoy this delicious chocolate, banana, and maca smoothie recipe!
