Antioxidant Vitamin C smoothie

Vitamin C is an important antioxidant that contributes to the functioning of the immune system, which protects your body from bacteria and viruses. Our bodies cannot produce vitamin C and it is essential that we get it through the food we consume.

In addition, vitamin C helps to strengthen your skin from within and minimize fine lines and wrinkles. Vitamin C fights off free radicals and helps restore and protect the skin.

This recipe makes about ½ litre of smoothie.

The fruit and vegetables used can be frozen or fresh.

  • ¼ red pepper
  • 5 clumps of frozen spinach
  • 1 banana
  • Juice of ½ lemon
  • ½ passion fruit
  • 1 teaspoon sesame seeds
  • 2 teaspoons sunflower seeds
  • 3 dl water, coconut water or cold herbal tea*
  • 1 teaspoon linseed oil
  • 2 teaspoon olive oil 

If you like spicy ingredients add anti-inflammatory chili or cayenne pepper.

Note: Several of these foods contain zinc, which also supports the immune system.

Preparation

/ Put all of the ingredients in the blender except for the oil. Blend until the smoothie is creamy with no lumps.

/ Add the linseed and olive oil and blend for another 10 seconds until the smoothie is ready to drink.
