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 lunch I’ve been eating on repeat lately becaus The lunch I’ve been eating on repeat lately because it’s quick, balanced, satisfying AND actually keeps me full 🙌🏼

I’ve been eating some version of this most days a week for the past 3+ months and I still love it!

Save this for your next busy lunch 🤎

• Your favorite tortilla filled with ⅓ cup pinto beans, chicken breast, or ground turkey breast + jalapeño pepper jack cheese 🌯
• ⅓ avocado for healthy fats 🥑
• 2 Tbsp Greek yogurt for extra protein & in place of sour cream 🤍
• Hot sauce because I need a little spice 🌶️
• Grapes on the side for some fruit + fiber 🍇

I meal prep the beans (or meat if I’m switching it up) ahead of time, so the actual lunch comes together in about 5 minutes.

I love that I get protein + carbs + healthy fats + fiber in one easy lunch without spending forever making it.
