# Cold-Busting Smoothie Bowls This Immune System-Boosting Green Smoothie Bowl Fights the Common Cold By Alyson Wyers | Published 2015-10-29 | Lifestyle Source: Trend Hunter, https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/green-smoothie-bowl References: [weneedtolivemore](http://www.weneedtolivemore.com/uncategorized/1778/) This green smoothie bowl is exactly what you should be having for breakfast if you are fighting the common cold. Created by Ella Grace Denton from the blog We Need To Live More, the cold-kicking recipe contains a variety of green powders that are supposed to improve health and start your day off on the right note. To recreate this green smoothie bowl at home, you will need frozen bananas, mango, water and "any green powders you have." Ella Grace went with a combination of matcha powder as well as Amazonia Raw products [Prebiotic Greens](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/smoothie-cubes-with-prebiotics) and Immune Blend. For topping, you can add granola plus fresh fruit. Anything citrusy will have an extra dose of immune-boosting vitamin C. ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 1.3/10 - Popularity: 15% | Activity: 16% | Freshness: 8% - Audience gender: 10% men, 90% women - Primary generations: Millennial - Top markets: North America, Europe ## Categories [Trend Hunter](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends) > [Lifestyle](https://www.trendhunter.com/lifestyle) > [Food](https://www.trendhunter.com/food) ## Key Themes ### What's Driving This Trend - **Immune-boosting Smoothie Bowls:** Smoothie bowls with ingredients that help boost the immune system by using green powders and citrus fruits. - **DIY Cold Remedies:** Increasing popularity of homemade remedies to fight colds and flu with accessible ingredients. - **Healthy Breakfast Alternatives:** Trend toward healthier breakfast options with the inclusion of smoothie bowls in the menu. ### Who This Affects Most - **Health and Wellness:** Development of supplements and ingredients to improve immune system and fight colds. - **Food and Beverage:** Expansion and innovation in the creation of healthy food and beverage options including smoothie bowls. - **Home Remedies:** Opportunities for companies to create and market products using natural and accessible ingredients for cold and flu relief. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Vibrant Nutrition Bowls](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/pressed-juicery-x-cymbiotika.md) - [Functional Smoothie Bowls](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/functional-smoothie-bowls.md) - [Functional Smoothie Cubes](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/clean-green-smoothie.md) - [Tropical Blue Smoothie Bowls](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/blue-bliss-bowl.md) - [Vitamin-Rich Breakfast Bowls](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/sweet-nothings-acai-bowls.md) - [Immune-Boosting Beverages](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/the-bolthouse-farms-immunity-suite.md) - [Protein Smoothie Bowls](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/protein-smoothie-bowls.md) - [Superfruit Smoothie Bowls](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/swirl-smoothie-bowls.md) - [Nutritious Green Tea Smoothies](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/everbowl.md)
