This Flu Fighter Smoothie gets its amazing Vitamin C boost from the blueberries, the lime and the camu camu, an Amazonian superfruit that’s rich in beneficial phytonutrients. This is a high-nutrient smoothie that gives you fuel to fight infection and disease, a great fortifier during the cold season. I’ve made this on days that I had flu-like symptoms. Each time I was up and running again the next day. The vitamins B, C and D and spirulina are said to boost immunity. Turmeric is known for its anti-inflammatory properties. In Ayurveda cinnamon is considered a super spice that is used to treat colds.
