The green smoothie you need for flu season

If you're not suffering from a cold or flu yourself, the person beside you in work probably is. It seems like it's the season EVERYONE is getting sick – so the time to take action is now! 

This smoothie will help ward off that cold or flu with lots of greens and the superpowers of ginger. 

This can be juiced or blended – whichever you prefer! 

What you'll need:

• Thumb-sized piece of ginger
• Handful of spinach
• 1 lemon
• 1 orange
• 1 apple
• 1 carrot

What you'll need to do:

Peel the ginger, lemon, orange and carrot. If blending, place all ingredients into the blender, add a little water and ice and blend until smooth. If juicing, simply put all of the fruit and veg through the juicer and if you want, add a little water to dilute.
