Banana Pear Smoothie to Soothe a Sore Throat

Sore Throat Relief Smoothie

Banana Pear Smoothie to Soothe a Sore Throat. Sore throats are the worst as they are scratchy, itchy, and painful. It hurts to eat and it hurts to talk. And usually, when you have a sore throat you also have coughing along with it, which aggravates your throat even more so.

Throat lozenges are good, especially ones with lemon or elderberry. Not only are they soothing to the throat, but they also help build up your immune system. But if you suck on too many lozenges, you may end up like me – with the roof of your mouth all tore up. And now you can add that pain to your already sore throat.

Another alternative is drinking smoothies. Not only are they soothing to your throat, but the ones I have highlighted are filled with specific nutrients and vitamins your body needs right now – ingredients that tackle colds and the flu and ones that are soothing and beneficial for sore throats.

So what are the benefits of the ingredients?
