Description

The Immune Boosting Winter Citrus Smoothie is a vibrant and refreshing drink packed with vitamin C-rich citrus, antioxidant greens, and ginger to support your immune system while delivering a delicious, hydrating start to your day.


Ingredients

1 large orange, peeled and segmented

1 large grapefruit, peeled and segmented

1 banana, peeled and sliced

1 cup spinach (fresh or frozen)

1 tablespoon honey (optional)

1 cup coconut water (or almond milk)

½ teaspoon ginger (freshly grated or powdered)


Instructions

  1. Gather all ingredients.
  2. Peel and segment the orange and grapefruit, removing seeds.
  3. Slice the banana into pieces.
  4. If using fresh spinach, wash thoroughly under cold water.
  5. In a blender, combine orange, grapefruit, banana, spinach, honey (if using), coconut water, and ginger.
  6. Blend on high speed until smooth and creamy.
  7. Taste and add more honey if desired for sweetness.
  8. If too thick, add extra coconut water to reach preferred consistency.
  9. Pour into a glass or container.
  10. Serve immediately, optionally garnished with an orange slice or a sprinkle of ginger.

Notes

Substitute kale for spinach for a different leafy green.

Add a tablespoon of chia seeds or flaxseeds for extra fiber.

Use almond milk instead of coconut water for creamier texture.

Include a small piece of turmeric root for added anti-inflammatory benefits.

Best consumed immediately to retain freshness and nutrients.

Store in an airtight container in the fridge and consume within 24 hours if needed.
