Got the Springtime sniffles? Try this immune-boosting super smoothie

Alison Bough

Need a delicious immune-boost that adds oodles of energy to your life and fights off free radicals? 

Eating five portions of bright-coloured, antioxidant-rich fruit and veg per day will benefit your health, but it’s not always easy to manage. If you rely on caffeine to give you an energy boost, it’s hard to know how much is too much. Always reaching for plain water to re-hydrate can be boring and that’s when you start to feel lethargic. So, say ‘hello’ to your new bestie.

Blast those negative effects from the body and refuel your cells with this super smoothie:

Antioxidant-rich ingredients

  • One banana
  • One or two oranges
  • One cup of chopped mango
  • One cup of pineapple
  • 1/4 cup of almonds or pecans
  • Two handfuls of butterhead lettuce
  • One cup of coconut water

Directions

1. Simples! Just blend.

Tip: Keep your orange and mango in the fridge before use or add a few ice cubes for a more refreshing drink.
