It doesn’t have to be winter for a cold to hit, it can happen at any time of year. But whether you feel one coming or not, and just want a refreshing drink, check out this smoothie recipe from Camilla at PowerHungry. (You’ll find it at the end of the post.) It has three simple, common ingredients that will give you a good helping of potassium, antioxidants and Vitamin C. Use it as a great way to fight off a cold or to drink after a workout.
Camilla likes to use minimum ingredients in her recipes and this one is no exception. It was something new for her and here is what she had to say about it …
I expected satisfactory, but what I blended was nothing short of extraordinary: sweet-tart, subtly tropical, with a bold, nuanced flavor that belies the short list of ingredients. As for cold-fighting power, this smoothie is loaded: cranberries are second only to blueberries in antioxidants and bananas and coconut water are especially high in potassium (1 cup of coconut water has more potassium than 4 bananas). Drink up!
