IMMUNITY-BOOSTING SHIKUWASA LIME SMOOTHIES
BUILD YOUR IMMUNITY WITH THESE SMOOTHIE RECIPES THAT FEATURE THE ANTIOXIDANT-RICH INGREDIENT NATIVE TO OKINAWA
Nourishing yourself from the inside out is important every day of the year, but even more so during the holiday season. With travel on the schedule, as is time with family and friends, taking care of your immune system is vital to maintaining overall health. One way to get an easy boost is to have an antioxidant-rich smoothie that incorporates Shikuwasa Lime powder.
Drawing from the time-honored ingredients of Okinawa to infuse the body with energy and vitality, Wellness East’s foundational ingredient of Shikuwasa Lime is at the heart of the brand. This small green fruit supports the body with immune-boosting action, along with containing strong anti-inflammatory properties and helping to protect against age-related neurodegenerative disease. Shikuawasa Lime contains nobiletin, which has been proven to lessen the risk of cancer and heart disease, making this citrus ingredient a superfood in Okinawan culture.
Wellness East’s Shikuwasa Lime is available in a potent powder form and was designed to be used daily. The powder seamlessly blends into a smoothie to help maximize the ingredient’s benefits, and it pairs well with both greens and fruits. Taken at any time of the day—be it morning, afternoon, or evening—this powder works to support everyone at any age.
