A condensed and concentrated cold-pressed juice designed to boost immunity and digestion!
I absolutely love taking wellness shots when I feel a cold or some type of sickness coming on. I will take them for a few days in a row to help combat whatever germs are running through our home. Additionally, I am all about Gut Health and love the benefits that wellness shots have on my digestion. Unfortunately, they are not cheap at the grocery store, and I would only purchase them when on sale. Even then, they are still pricey.
I set out to create my own version at home which is way more cost-effective and requires very basic ingredients.
