This Immune Boosting Green Ginger Smoothie is the perfect drink when you feel under weather. Packed with organic and wholesome ingredients like spinach, ginger, banana, maple syrup, oat milk, and pineapple. Enjoy the smoothie for breakfast or a nourishing snack.

Smoothies have always been on my weekly menu, even during winter. This smoothie is loaded with vitamins, antioxidants, and immunity-boosting properties. Green smoothies are also perfect for the flu and cold season ahead. You can customize this smoothie to your taste and add your favorite smoothie ingredients like frozen berries, avocado chunks, or a spoon of chia seeds.

In this recipe, I used a ginger shot from Press Juices instead of fresh ginger, and it makes the smoothie even easier. Ginger shots contain a high level of anti-inflammatory and antioxidant properties. They are a great way to boost your immune system during winter and achieve your 5 a day. I also love Vitamin C and D shots from Press Juices, they are loaded with vitamins and anti-inflammatory properties to support your immune system.
