This winter, instead of waiting until you are sick in bed to break out the orange juice, try heading the dreaded winter cold off with a daily visit to Roxberry Smoothies. Most of us know that foods rich in vitamin C are powerful healers. However, getting your daily dose of vitamin C before a cold hits means avoiding sick days and missing out on holiday festivities due to a winter cold.
Did you know that your body does not produce or store vitamin C, yet vitamin C helps increase the production of white blood cells which help your body to fight infection? In order to keep your immune system strong during the winter months, let Roxberry Smoothies take care of your daily dose of vitamin C.
The most commonly known source of vitamin C is citrus fruit, and our menu is packed with delicious options containing oranges, pineapple, lemons and limes. Our favorite cold and flu season suggestion is the aptly named Flu Fighter, which contains enough orange juice to keep you out of bed and on the go!
Two lesser known, yet just as powerful, sources of vitamin C are spinach and ginger. Our Power Green green juice contains not only spinach, but other dark greens rich in antioxidants and beta-carotene which are also great infection fighters. Our Iron Strong green smoothie gives colds the one-two (three!) punch with lime, spinach AND pineapple blended into a smooth yummy treat. To cover all of your cold and flu fighting bases, try the Raw Vision green smoothie. With a blend of carrot and orange juices, peaches, pineapples, bananas, ginger and agave, this powerful infection fighter will “C” to it your health stays in tact this winter!
