Vitamin C supplements and hot teas are always a great idea for preventing colds, but I always like to double my flu prevention with a high dose of antioxidants to create a natural barrier against viruses and pathogens. My daily smoothies and juices contain tons of nutrients, but this one is the ultimate …
