Cold & Flu Season: Delicious Smoothie Remedies

Just when I thought I might have escaped the wrath of cold & flu season, it hit me this week like a ton of bricks. Luckily, I am the proud new owner of a Magic Bullet, and I have promptly become addicted to juicing everything in my produce drawer. To soothe my sore throat and boost my immune system, I sought out some delicious smoothie recipes, and I’m sharing them with you today in hopes that they help prevent and/or treat winter’s nasty symptom!
