Vitamin C Boosting Smoothie

Dark Triple Berry Smoothie

• 1/3 cup frozen cranberries
• 1/3 cup frozen strawberries
• 1/4 cup frozen raspberries
• 1/2 banana to thicken
• 1/4 cup carrot
• 1 cup orange juice
• 1/2 cup coconut or almond, or oat milk
• 1 squeezed lemon 

Optional:

• 1 teaspoon of elderberry juice 
• 1 teaspoon coconut oil or nut butter for healthy fats to stay full
• 1 tablespoon fresh ginger or turmeric to reduce inflammation
• 2 teaspoons of raw honey or maple syrup to boost the immune system

Tip: If you're a beginner at making smoothies, the best way to choose your mixture is to stay within the same color combination. For instance, yellow fruits like pineapple, mango, carrots, and oranges work well together and are in the same color range.
