Immune Boost Carrot & Ginger Smoothie!

It's Carrot Season!

Carrots provide more health-promoting carotenoids than any other vegetable. 

Carotenoids, the antioxidants that give carrots their yellow-orange pigment, may protect against certain types of cancer, heat disease...

And beta carotene is converted by the body into vitamin A, which is essential for healthy skin and for helping the eyes adjust from bright light to darkness. Vitamin A also nourishes the tissues of your respiratory and intestinal tracts, and helps to boost the immune system. other perks include soluble fiber, vitamin C, and some calcium!
