Whether you are under a cold or flu, or simply looking to feel more vital and energetic, few things are as helpful as a nutritious immune boosting smothie.

We have developed this vegan Banana Almond Milk Smoothie with Immune Boosting Goji Berry using a combination of the healthiest and and most powerful ingredients, so that with a few sips you can shine through the daily obstacles!

Thanks to the perfect combination of vitamin-rich fruits like Goji berry, orange, this superfood smoothie has powerful antioxidants that combat inflammation and stress in the body, helping you to feel better and stronger. These include:

  • Vitamin C, with almost 70% of the RDA

  • Vitamin A, with over 100% of your RDA

  • Vitamin E

  • Vitamin B2, which helps the body break down carbohydrates, proteins, and fats to produce energy

  • Iron, which helps to combat fatigue and make you feel more energetic

To satisfy your sweet tooth without the fats that come with it, we’ve added a splash of agave nectar, a natural plant-based sweetener. We love agave nectar because it has a low glycemic index (GI) which prevents spikes in blood sugars after eating and keeps hunger at bay.

So get your blender and blitz yourself a glorious smoothie! Oh, and if you do enjoy recipes as healthy as this one, why not subscribing to our newsletter and receive two new ones every week? It's free!

Tips

  • If you are not vegan, to boost the amount of protein in this Goji berry smoothie, replace half the almond milk with plain Greek yogurt. It will be even creamier!

  • For a tangy finish, add a pinch of ginger powder to the other ingredients in the food processor bowl.
