To maintain a robust immune system, your body requires a daily dose of quality protein. Studies have shown that without adequate high-quality protein your body will not be as well equipped to fight off illness.

Protein and other rich nutrients such as amino acids have a profound effect on our immune system, acting as your immune-boosting personal bodyguard helping to protect cells and encourage natural healing.[1]

So how do we ensure we are consuming an adequate amount of high-quality protein daily?

Smoothies are a great way to pack in high-quality protein-filled foods such as vitamin C and vitamin B rich fruits, green vegetables and protein-packed organic dairy products such as Greek Style yogurt or organic milk. They’re also easy to make and the perfect on-the-go breakfast or afternoon pick-me-up. Just put all the ingredients into the blender and you’re away!

We have rounded up 5 protein-rich smoothie recipes to boost your immunity. Packed full of nutritious ingredients and easy to wiz together before heading out the door, helping you to seamlessly add more protein to your diet every morning.
