Cucumber-Spinach Immune Boosting Smoothie

Smoothies are a great way to sneak immune-supportive fruits and veggies into the daily diet. With Covid-19 continuing to be a global challenge, even for those who are triple vaccinated, diet is an excellent way to help boost your immune system. Whether you are trying to escape the monster or recovering from infection, good nutrition and hydration is critical.

Some foods that are effective in boosting the immune system include citrus, spinach, avocado, ginger, basil, black pepper, tumeric, green tea, garlic, broccoli, beans, nuts and seeds.

Please note that foods or supplements alone will not cure or prevent infection. The only way to protect yourself against Covid-19 is vaccination, physical distancing and proper hygiene practice.

Hi everyone! It's no secret. I'm pretty addicted to eating clean and leading a healthy lifestyle. I am a registered nurse and chronic condition educator (diabetes, heart failure, hypertension, obesity & COPD). Nothing excites me more, personally and professionally, then helping others take control of their health. It really is a passion of mine. That's why I created this blog! When I am not in the kitchen creating healthy eats or digging through scientific literature, I enjoy hiking, biking, gardening and spending time with hubby Dennis. Oh and I am a mother to a loud mouthed parrot named Pickles, a 20 year old black cat named Charlie and about 50,000 honey bees.
