Lemon-Ginger Wellness Shot

If you think you are catching a cold, feeling a bit under the weather, or if you are looking for a quick energy boost, this wellness shot just may be your answer! Lemons contain a whole range of vitamins (including Vitamin C!) and antioxidants, and may posses some antibiotic activity (source). Ginger is well-known to be a stomach soother and actually has been shown to have anti-inflammatory effects and immune-boosting properties (source). Lastly, garlic (if you choose to include this in your wellness shot) is an amazing food! It has been shown to prevent some types of cancer, lower blood pressure, and act as an antimicrobial, meaning that it has the ability to destroy bacteria and viruses in the system (source). Basically, drink this and you'll live forever!!! Just kidding, but it can't hurt! Enjoy 🙂Cost per serving: $0.18
