What's great about it
For a robust immune system, your body needs a daily supply of quality protein. Studies have shown that a deficiency in high-quality protein can deplete immune cells, the inability of the body to make antibodies, and other immune-related problems.
Oranges + bananas are jam-packed with B group vitamins, including thiamine (B1) and B6, vital for energy, a healthy metabolism and nerve function. Oranges are also rich in Vitamin C, which acts like your immune-boosting personal bodyguard, helping protect cells and healing. Studies show that vitamin C can reduce the duration and symptoms of colds and respiratory tract infections.
Ingredients
2 whole oranges, peeled and chopped
1 banana
1/2 cup water or coconut water
1 teaspoon Immune Support
1 tablespoon Healthy Chef Pure Native WPI or Organic Pea Protein or Marine Collagen
1 cup ice
