So you’ve got a cold, maybe paired with a cough and right now you’ll do anything for some relief. This smoothie will not only provide you that relief but help fight off the symptoms and combat your cold in an all-natural way.

Oh, and it’s delicious.

When you read over the ingredients, that may be somewhat difficult to trust that it tastes good, but it sure does. We tried it! We gulped that whole thing down. One of us even had a sore throat and vouches for its sweet relief.

With only 5 ingredients and a blender, you can get break away from the soups, teas and lozenges and truly have an on-the-go drink that you will thoroughly enjoy (and not suffer through) every single sip.

Servings: 1

Prep Time: 2 minutes

Ingredients

1 cup frozen pineapple
1/4 cup lemon juice
1 tbsp ginger puree
1 tbsp raw honey
1 tsp ground cayenne pepper
splash of water

Equipment

Blender

Method

Place all the ingredients in the blender.
Blend on high until smooth, adding a splash of water if you prefer a thinner smoothie.
Pour into a glass, and enjoy.
