Method
Add ingredients into a food & drink blender.
Blend everything until smooth.
Pour, sip, and enjoy!
Drinking this regularly can help keep histamine levels in check and keep you feeling energised throughout the allergy season.
Notes
Due to mixing green and purple coloured foods this smoothie can look a little brown in colour. However, do not let this put you off as it tastes amazing!
Frozen berries are fine to use - make sure freezer is well stocked.
Include any of the fruits or veg that are listed as high in quercetin.
Substitute kale with broccoli florets (frozen are fine).
Use different seeds; flax, sunflower, sesame - each will provide a slightly different flavour.
Prior to allergy season you can add a squeeze of lemon juice for added vitamin C, some kefir or live yoghurt for probiotics. If you are in a hay fever flare, avoid high histamine foods, and increase the foods rich in quercetin.
