Too often smoothies are made with the best of intentions but the finished result is a sugar bomb of fructose and little nutrition. This immunity-boosting recipe is the antidote. Beets boast an impressive lineup of iron, folate and B6, while spinach and strawberries pack loads of vitamin C. Add the antioxidants and bioactive compounds from the ginger, and you have a supercharged smoothie you can feel good about drinking daily.
