    Five Tasty Ideas to help boost your immune system, so you can fight off getting sick this year

    Five Tasty Ideas from @memeinge to help boost your immune system, so you can fight off getting sick this year

    [clickToTweet tweet="Five Tasty Ideas to help boost your #immune system, so you can fight off getting sick this year!" quote="Five Tasty Ideas to help boost your #immune system, so you can fight off getting sick this year!"]

    It's the time of year when everyone is coming down with something, and I want to avoid catching it at all costs.

    While making sure you are getting enough sleep and moving your body regularly (whatever that means to you) is really important, so is what you put in your body!

    Here are my five favorite foods & beverages to help boost your immune system:

    Apple Cinnamon Ginger Kombucha from Living Well Kitchen

    Probiotics

    I love eating/drinking my probiotics. It's easy (and tasty) to get them from yogurt, kombucha, fermented beverages and fermented veggies.

    My favorite probiotic filled recipes:

    Apple Cinnamon Ginger Kombucha
    Cranberry Orange Kombucha
    Ginger Berryade Kombucha
    How to Make Kombucha
    Tropical Green Smoothie
    Almond Berry Overnight Oats
    Yogurt and Blueberry Crepes
    Pumpkin Yogurt
    Kimchi

    Chicken Soup

    Chicken soup really is good for your soul and your body. This Chicken and Rice Soup is great to keep in the freezer in case you do come down with a case of the sniffles, but you can always grab a can of soup for the moments you just can't bear to make it to the kitchen.

    Try some of these soothing soup recipe:
