Immunity-Enhancing Orange and Ginger Smoothie

This immunity-enhancing orange and ginger smoothie is a quick and easy way to get your daily dose of vitamin C, gingerol, and other nutrients. It's made with just a few simple ingredients and can be enjoyed for breakfast, lunch, or a snack.

I first developed this smoothie recipe a few years ago when I was feeling under the weather. I was looking for something that would help me boost my immune system and give me a little energy, and this smoothie fit the bill perfectly. It's now one of my go-to recipes whenever I'm feeling run down or just need a healthy and refreshing pick-me-up.
