LOTS OF LEMON Serves 2 Known for their high amounts of vitamin C, lemons make a nutritious addition to your apple cider vinegar drinks any time of year, and especially during the notorious flu season. Helping to support the immune system’s functioning, the lemon’s vitamins,
minerals, and potent antioxidants can also soothe sore throats, calm respiratory illnesses, and fend off viruses, bacterial infections, and microbes that can wreak havoc on the body. When combined with ACV’s naturally occurring enzymes, collectively known as the “mother,” lemons and other immunity-boosting ingredients can be blended into a delicious and nutritious drink that protects
cells and promotes overall health and well-being. When taken at the first sign of symptoms, such as a stuffy nose, a sore throat, or fatigue, this simple drink can help you avoid developing a serious immune system-draining illness. 1 Tbs. apple cider vinegar 2 cups low-fat vanilla Greek yogurt 3 medium lemons, peeled and seeded
