DELICIOUS IMMUNE BOOSTING RECIPES

What do Bone Broth, Veggie Broth and Elderberry Syrup have in common? How does immune boosting, inflammation busting, antioxidant loaded, cold and flu preventing, digestion helping sound?

Before sugar plums start dancing, turkeys are basting, pies begin baking, cookies are rolling…first, let’s work on boosting our immune systems, because full confession, I love all things Thanksgiving and Christmas, especially all of the wonderful goodies and foods, but I do recognize that we need to keep our systems running and it’s a known fact that sugar depresses the immune system.

THREE IMMUNE BOOSTING AND TASTY RECIPES YOU CAN MAKE IN A WEEKEND

Immune Boosters | Cold and Flu Fighters

Beef Bone Broth

This recipe for Beef Bone Broth is one of the most powerful superfoods there is and is extremely nutrient rich. In a relatively short period of time you will be sipping on this amazing broth or using it for soups and stews. Easily convert this bone broth to Chicken Bone Broth.

Homemade Vegetable Mineral Broth

Delicious, nutritious, immune-boosting, gut-healing vitamin and mineral rich vegetable broth! Perfect to sip, use in soups, stews or anywhere you use veggie broth.

Instant Pot Homemade Elderberry Syrup (+ Stovetop Instructions)

A spoonful of Homemade Elderberry Syrup every day will help boost your immune system, preventing and treating flu and colds. Instant Pot or Stovetop

Plan for it, or save it for after the new year, when we all decide to eat healthier, but I encourage you to try and make at least one of these before the holiday season. Let’s arm ourselves for the upcoming flu and cold season with these immune boosting recipes. 

IF YOU GET SICK, HERE ARE SOME GREAT FEEL BETTER RECIPES

  • Old-Fashioned Chicken Noodle Soup
  • Easy Italian Wedding Soup (my boys favorite soup!)
  • Homemade Chai Tea Latte
  • Bulletproof Coffee aka Keto Coffee
  • Easy Homemade Naan  (am I the only one who craves carbs when I don’t feel well?)

Even more Immune Boosting Recipes

Try these incredible immune boosting recipes as well! I am all about tasting good, healing with food, gut health and balance in our lives!

I hope if you have never tried making your own broth, you’ll give a couple of these recipes a try! Stay healthy, eat well, laugh lots!

May the Lord bless and keep you, may He make His face shine upon you, may He give you rest when you are weary, strength when you are weak, hope when you are hopeless.

    Hey K,
    This looks really intriguing! Do I use in place of ‘cooking stock’ in recipes or does the recipe actually need to call for bone broth? Is it a 1:1 ratio?
    Love,
    K

      1:1 my friend. Doesnโ€™t need to call for bone broth at all, youโ€™ll just have a richer more flavorful broth less likely to need to add a lot of additional seasonings to whatever you put it in. Thanks K, so appreciate you!!

      I hope you can creatively get them to eat them. The broths while wonderful by themselves may seem a bit more palatable if made into a delicious soup! The syrup I donโ€™t think youโ€™ll have to disguise! Pray you are healing!!
