Since I became a Mama, it has been very important to me to regularly boost my immune system. I want to ensure that I’m as healthy as possible, the majority of the time. As Mamas, we do not have time to get sick because let’s be honest #nosickdays allowed lol.

Getting enough rest, eating healthy, and a consistent supplement routine are all a big part of that. But also gravitating toward superfoods that support a healthy immune system has been a game-changer.

Today, I’m sharing the wellness shot that I created years ago that helps me boost my metabolism and my immune system and keeps me healthy! When I first created this I would have it every morning for months, it made me feel so healthy adding it to my daily routine.

Now, I normally make this if I’m beginning to feel run down or someone is sick in our house. I have one per day for a week or so to give me that extra immunity boost. It’s so easy to make and you probably have all the ingredients. 

Apple cider vinegar, ginger, turmeric, and orange juice are all powerhouse ingredients that provide your body with Vitamin C, antioxidants, and anti-inflammatory compounds to improve immune function.

I can’t wait to hear what you think once you try it! It can definitely be an acquired taste because the apple cider vinegar and ginger are strong, but I find myself craving it and now I’ve made it part of my routine again.

Wellness Shot Benefits:
Ginger is anti-inflammatory and is excellent for fighting a cold, amazing for digestion, and helps with post-workout recovery.
Orange Juice has many nutrients including Vitamin C, which is a powerful antioxidant that plays a major role in our immune function. OJ also contains mineral potassium which regulates our blood pressure, protects against heart disease, and prevents bone loss.
Turmeric contains curcumin which is a powerful antioxidant and anti-inflammatory. It helps brain function, and could even lower your risk of heart disease and Alzheimer’s.
Apple Cider Vinegar improves heart health, may lower cholesterol and help lower blood sugar levels, and can aid in weight loss.
Black Pepper helps to boost the absorption of curcumin in turmeric so be sure to include it in this recipe.

The coziest crockpot meal for the busy moms!!! 🥔🥕 The coziest crockpot meal for the busy moms!!! 🥔🥕

SAVE for later!! 🤎 

I had my son’s parent-teacher conference yesterday evening during dinner time, and this was the perfect dinner to have waiting so I didn’t have to cook when I got home! 🙌🏼

Such an easy, set-it-and-forget-it dinner that feeds the whole family -with leftovers too!!

Recipe:

* 1 pot roast (chuck roast)
* 3 potatoes, chopped
* 1 bunch carrots, peeled and chopped
* 1 cup water
* 1 tsp seasoning salt
* 1 tsp garlic powder
* 1 tsp paprika
* 1 tsp black pepper
* 1 tsp onion powder
* 1 packet turkey gravy mix
* 1 cup frozen peas

How to make it:

1. Add the roast, water, and seasonings to your crockpot.
2. Add the carrots and potatoes.
3. Cover and cook on LOW for 8 hours, until the roast is tender.
4. Stir in the frozen peas during the last 5 minutes.

Tip: I would’ve added a chopped onion and left out the onion powder, but I forgot to grab one at the store! 😂 Use whichever you have on hand.

Add salt to taste.

The perfect cozy fall dinner with barely any hands-on time 🍂

We spend so much time trying to make childhood magical for our kids, but we’re living these moments for the first time, too.

One day, they’ll be grown, and I know I’ll look back on these pumpkin patch visits, little walks, and ordinary afternoons with so much love.

They’re only little for so long🥹
