Sore Throat Relief Banana and Reishi Smoothie
Banana and Reishi Mushroom Smoothie for Sore Throats
Sore Throat Relief Banana and Reishi Smoothie. As you may know, I’ve been battling the flu this past week – headache, sinus congestion, terrible cough, and a sore throat.
And because I’ve been sucking on throat lozenges for my sore throat, the roof of my mouth has become so scratched up, it pains me to eat. Not to mention I now have 2 canker sores on the inside of my lip. I’m a hot mess!!
But even tho I can’t chew anything or down my favorite soups with any spices on it, I have been able to get my vitamins and nutrients with the smoothies that I’ve been making. And to be quite honest with you – so far each one of them has been absolutely delicious.
So let me share with you the Sore Throat Relief Smoothie, which I found on the Vibrant Happy Healthy website. It had most of the ingredients needed to fill me with vitamins and nutrients and tackle this flu and sore throat. But it was missing my favorite ingredient – REISHI MUSHROOM POWDER.
REISHI MUSHROOMS TO BUILD YOUR IMMUNE SYSTEM
In case you missed my previous posting, here’s a little background on why I believe Reishi Mushrooms are such a useful tool in the war against the common cold and flu.
The Reishi Mushroom – is considered the king of Traditional Chinese Medicine, one that has been treasured for centuries. One that is loaded with antibacterial and anti-viral properties, which is perfect for battling the common cold and flu.
Reishi can be the perfect supplement to help support your immune system, regardless if you’re already sick or just want to take preventative measures against the cold and flu. Studies have shown there are two substances in the Reishi Mushroom that make it the antiviral powerhouse fungus.
- TRITERPENES are beneficial in anti-inflammatory, liver protection, anti-tumor, and immune regulation, which makes it one of the main beneficial compounds in reishi alongside the beta-glucans. And …
- COMPLEX POLYSACCHARIDE compounds, which can help stimulate the immune system by increasing immunoglobin levels, which are essential to the defense of foreign cells such as pathogens and microbes.
So because Reishi Mushrooms are so beneficial to your immune system, I now add a teaspoon/tablespoon to just about everything I make – soups, hot beverages, smoothies, you name it.
