Immune Boosting Tropical Smoothie

This is one of my favorite smoothie recipes. It's bright and citrus-y and packs a good punch to fight off any invaders of your immune system. It's chuck full of lots of vitamins and minerals and with the addition of coconut oil is also antibacterial and antiviral. The chia seeds add a good amount of protein and the coconut water adds electrolytes to keep you hydrated and its just plain good,  so what's not to love? 


Here's how to make it:

Ingredients: 

- 2 organic bananas 
- 4-5 organic oranges, segmented 
- 3 organic carrots, peeled and cut into chunks
- 1/2 cup or so of frozen organic mango
- 1-1 1/2 cups of frozen pineapple 
- A heaping tablespoon of organic extra virgin coconut oil
- 1-2 tablespoons of chia seeds
- 1/2-1 cup coconut water 
- 4-5 ice cubes 
 
Instructions: 

Add all the ingredients into a high powered blender and blend away until nice and smooth. Poor into your favorite glass and enjoy!!
