Cold-Crusher Smoothie

I rarely get sick, but when all of the actors in a tiny backstage space are sick, the germs are bound to spread.  I made this smoothie and had it over a few days and felt 100% just in time for my 30th birthday weekend!


Cold-Crusher
Makes 2 servings

• 1 apple, quartered
• 1 pear, quartered
• 1 c. fresh or frozen blueberry
• 1 c. orange juice
• 1/2 c. goji berries, soaked in an immune-boosting herbal tea
• 1 tbsp acai powder
• 1 tsp spirulina
• half head of romaine, spinach, or dandelion greens

Allow goji berries to soak for 20 minutes or so.  Add all items to blender, including goji soaking liquid.  Blend away and get well soon!

Pears are very high in Vitamin C, but most of it is in their peel, so leave the skin on and buy organic.  This smoothie contains lots of antioxidants and immune boosters.  Actually I think I'll keep some herbal immunity tea in the fridge to add to all my smoothies the next few weeks.
