Boost your immune system with natural vitamins! Harvard doctors recommend boosting your vitamin intake with a healthy diet rich in fruits and vegetables because "They are accompanied by many nonessential but beneficial nutrients, such as hundreds of carotenoids, flavonoids, minerals, and antioxidants that aren't in most supplements" (health.harvard.edu).
SmoothieBox's Orange Smoothie mix is packed with immune-boosting vitamins naturally found in its mandarin oranges, carrots, sweet potatoes, ginger, and lemon juice, but this orange immune boosting smoothie recipe is designed to pack your smoothie with a little extra for the times when you need it.
Immunity Benefits of Oranges
Oranges are naturally high in vitamin C and folate, a B vitamin that helps your body make blood cells. The naturally occurring vitamins not only help boost your immune system, but they also provide sustainable energy.
Immunity Benefits of Carrots
Carrots are naturally high in antioxidants, potassium, vitamin A, vitamin C, and Vitamin B6. Potassium can help control blood pressure and the rich, natural vitamins found in carrots all help to strengthen your immune system. If you don't like the flavor or carrots, no worries! The oranges are the flavor hero in this smoothie recipe.
