When whipping up an immunity-boosting snack, what types of foods should be on your grocery list?

What luck! TBH, drinking a smoothie always makes me feel like I’m the ~queen of health~, so any extra reassurance is just icing on the cake.
A strong immune system can make all the difference if you’re at risk of getting sick, so you might as well tailor your diet to include immunity-boosting ingredients wherever you can. Smoothies are an anytime treat that can be enjoyed as a refreshing snack or a meal replacement, depending on serving size—or both, if you want to try out more than one recipe!
