Nutrition Immune Boosting Smoothies
Keep winter bugs at bay by “immunising” your protein smoothies with this immune boosting recipe. Our smoothies make an especially appealing alternative to your normal meal replacement shakes.
Immune tip
Cut down on your intake of sugar and alcohol when you feel the onset of flu. Excessive consumption of these substances significantly suppresses the multiplication of white blood cells, and greatly reduces their ability to fight viruses and bacteria in your body.
Citrus Blast
Vitamin C is in abundance in the citrus family. Only 500mg per day is needed to help prevent respiratory infections.

1/2 pink grapefruit
