Strawberry Basil Immune Boosting Smoothie

Immune boosting benefits of basil!! This herb is pretty powerful, which is why I love to throw it in my morning green smoothie. Basil contains essential oil compounds that act as anti-microbial and anti-viral agents. It also comes with a whole host of other benefits: anti-inflammatory, cancer prevention, and liver detoxification to name a few. Other nutrient-dense herbs to incorporate are parsley and cilantro. And don’t forget about micro-greens as well!
