Cold Fighter Offer

Sick again. Ask any of my childhood coaches, catching a ball was never my thing. Catching a cold? Now that’s another story. Being sick is no fun, except for the whole movie marathon, napping, snacking, lazing part. But the problem is that I must return to work tomorrow and I have no other choice than to kick this thing. I’m not one for prescription meds so besides the ol’ natural supplements from Jimbo's (Wellness Formula which I highly recommend) I had to come up with something to boost my immune system.  I knew that I could find something around the kitchen to throw in the Blendtec. I started pulling out all of the immune boosting foods like garlic, berries, broccoli, etc. and decided to blend them all together. What was the worst that could happen? I could just toss it and make it again. But no, it worked! I know it sounds crazy but it actually tasted great. I'd even eat this when I'm feeling normal again. Just make sure you don’t have some big date planned that evening, a whole clove of raw garlic isn’t the most attractive thing. I just hope it doesn’t stay with me for my clients tomorrow (sorry guys). So take my word for it on this one and give a shot.
