7 Ayurvedic Immune Boosting Smoothie Recipes: Simple and Easy to Try at Home

The one who wears a shield of immunity seldom needs a weapon to win the war against the deadly woes. Sages of ancient India always said this. Whether it’s cancer or coronavirus, the only shield you trust for an ultimate guard is your immunity. 

Every lesson from the Indian tradition is a testament to how wise our ancestors were. And now there is a scientific validation for every action. 

From the humble haldi doodh to pranayama, the world is following their footsteps. Yoga, Vegetarianism, Meditation, Ayurveda are trends that started centuries back in India. Even, our inherent gesture of ‘Namaste’ was adopted by the entire world in the time of plight. 

The sages taught us the value of healthy diet, disciplined sleep and righteous life. They are the best boosters of immunity and ways of wellness. But in our pursuit to build a modern life we messed the basics bad!

Luckily, there are ways to pump up your immune system.

Restoring the body’s immunity by resetting the clock and returning to healthy eating is the best way to boost immunity.

Post the outbreak of this pandemic, my messenger is piled with requests for tasty immune-boosting foods for summer. Something fun yet healthy that’s easy to make and serves as a treat for the kid!

And the only thing that ticks all the boxes is ‘immunity boosting smoothie’. Easy to make and amazing to taste these smoothies are the best alternative to the boring lemon juice!
