Intro:
I have been feeling a little under the weather the last few days so I decided to call super foods to the rescue and whipped up this yummy immunity-boosting smoothie. My body was actually craving it, especially the tanginess of ginger! The ingredients have anti-inflammatory and anti-microbial properties. This smoothie is full of antioxidants and vitamin A and C in particular, but many other vitamins and minerals too. I added some protein powder because protein is crucial during recovery.

1 tsp honey
