Autumn Immunity Boosting Smoothie with Needed's Hydrolyzed Collagen Protein

As the weather cools off, I’m all about adding some go-to immunity boosters to my smoothies.  Most drinks we reach for in the cooler months are full of added sugars and unhealthy ingredients so I wanted to make sure to include a healthy but still balanced way to nourish as the weather changes.
