Purple Power Healer Smoothies To Boost Your Immune System

Purple Power Healer

Boost your health with this healing elixir! Red cabbage (the purple kind) has anthocyanins, which studies have shown help suppress inflammation. Elderberry extract is a natural cold and flu combatant, which is why it's always in our fridge! It is also called Sambucus and is thought of a natural substitute to artificial cough-and-cold syrups.

Purple Power Healer
(Makes 2 servings)

2 c chopped red cabbage
1 c water
1 orange, peeled
1 c blackberries
1 banana
1 tsp elderberry extract

1. BLEND the cabbage, water, and orange until smooth.
2. ADD the blackberries, banana, and elderberry extract and blend again.

Tip: Try red cabbage micro-greens—studies show that they can have more vitamin C than full-grown cabbage.
