With winter here, it’s flu and cold season. Kick the cold to the curb with this vegan immune booster smoothie!
This smoothie is full of Omega 3's and antioxidants to help keep your inflammation in balance in colder months. I make this smoothie a few times per week to stay healthy during winter. Drinking pomegranate juice helps reduces oxidative stress, which is the toxic effects of free radicals, in healthy humans. Pomegranate juice also has more antioxidants than red wine, cranberry juice, green tea, and most other juices or drinks. The antioxidant capacity of pomegranates also helps protect against heart disease, cancer, and cognitive impairment.
Boost those benefits with Sunwarrior’s Immune Shield, and you have all the tools you need to keep away the cold, especially since Immune Shield is a raw natural fulvic acid and mineral complex fortified with silver ions. This complex serves as a catalyst that delivers trace minerals, various nutrients, and electrolytes freely to the body’s cells. Silver ions then assist the immune system. These molecules provide a more efficient delivery system to safely provide silver ions in high amounts without worry. This fortified complex delivers the maximum level of benefit, protection, and performance.
What's the big deal about red beet powder? Most beet powders are loaded with the same potent vitamins, minerals, and nutrients as the red beets it comes from. It is rich in iron, potassium, antioxidants, calcium, folate, manganese, and dietary fiber.
What all of this means is that this smoothie has everything your body needs to be ready for everything during these winter months.
Ingredients
- 1 ½ cups pomegranate juice
- 1½ cups spinach or kale

- 1 tablespoon flaxseed
- 1 scoop Sunwarrior Classic Vanilla Protein
- 1 tablespoon Sunwarrior Immune Shield
Directions
Combine all the ingredients in the blender, purée until blended. Enjoy!
