There’s all kinds of preferences when it comes to getting enough immune boosting nutrients daily.  Some people don’t have a ton of time in the morning to mix together (and clean up!) a full meal or even a smoothie. Some people take their supplements to go to sip on throughout the day. Some people are lucky if they remember to take their supplements at all…

Everyone on the Perfect Supplements team has shared some of the ways they’ve found to incorporate immune supporting ingredients to their daily lives with basic pantry items we’ve had on hand and we’d like to share it with all of you! 

From our kitchens to yours, here are a few tasty immune boosting recipes!

Immune Supporting Honey Lemon Tea

(hot drinks are nice for colds)

Ingredients:

2 3/4 Cups of Hot Filtered Water

1/4 Cup Lemon Juice

4 tablespoon Honey

1 tablespoon Perfect MCT Oil

4 scoop (1 serving) Baobab Powder

1/2 scoop Perfect Acai Powder

1/2 scoop Perfect Aquatic Greens Powder

Directions:

Step 1.) WASH YOUR HANDS FOR 20 SECONDS!!

Step 2.) In a container large enough to hold 3+ cups of hot liquid add all ingredients together. Let steep.

Step 3.) Whisk - contents may settle as time goes on, so may need to be stirred periodically.

Step 4.) Enjoy!

Immune Support Soup:

Ingredients:

4-5 Scoops Perfect Bone Broth

1 small Yellow Onion, chopped

4-10 cloves Garlic (to taste), crushed and chopped

1 organic Carrot, grated

4-8 fresh Shiitake mushrooms, sliced

1-3 tablespoons Ginger root (to taste), grated

1 fresh Lemon, juiced or 1/4 Lemon Juice

3 tablespoons Parsley, chopped

1 quart of Filtered Water

Optional:

5-6 thin slices Astragalus root (found in some health food stores or online  here)

1 teaspoon Miso paste

Directions:

Step1.) WASH YOUR HANDS FOR 20 SECONDS!!

Step 2.) Add 1 qt of water to a stock pot

Step 3.) Add onion, garlic, carrot, mushrooms and ginger root 

(add optional Astragalus during this step)

Step 4.) Bring the broth to a slow boil.

( Over cooking will destroy the healing properties of the ingredients which are naturally antibacterial and antiviral.)

Step 5.) Reduce heat and simmer on low, covered, for 15 minutes.

Step 6.) Remove from heat

Step 7.) Add the lemon juice and parsley 

(add optional Miso paste now)

Step 8.) Cover and steep, off the heat, for 5 minutes.

Step 9.) Eat and enjoy!

Notes:

• You can also start the soup with half the total garlic you desire. Then crush the remaining cloves, adding them with the lemon juice at the end. This retains more of the immune modulating constituents, but it will taste much more garlicky.

• You can make a heartier soup by adding other greens(whole veggies, or powdered Fermented Kale)
