Immune Boosting Recipes

In an office filled with fruits, veggies, almond milk, and NutriBullets, it only made sense to hold our own smoothie-making contest. We tested them all, and this one reigns supreme. Developed by Jon, our Senior Software Developer, this green smoothie is filled with heart-healthy hemp and flax seeds, and it's full of alpha-linolenic acid, plant-based protein, and omega-3 fatty acids. Juicy peaches and blackberries add a burst of sweetness and nutrients, while leafy greens support healthy vision and strong bones.

Drinking this juice is like lying in a sunbeam, but for your insides. It’s also great when you’re feeling under the less-than-sunny weather, with nutrient-packed citrus and carrot, plus inflammation-fighting turmeric to get you back to your bright, shiny self.

Stop for a cup of java at any coffee shop this time of year, and you'll find an inviting advertisement for the seasonal pumpkin latte. Starbucks, Dunkin' Donuts, and even Seattle's Best have capitalized on this autumnal crowd favorite. It's the perfect sweet yet savory combination of delicious coffee and pumpkin pie. Comfort food at its best! But you'd be shocked to tally up the calories in such a latte! You'll have to spend an extended period of time on the treadmill for each one you devour! Most of the empty calories come from refined sugar, and each latte contains minimal nutrients if any. Luckily, we've come up with a nutrient-dense alternative to the traditional pumpkin latte!

One of the trendiest “superfoods” on the scene, sea moss is getting tons of buzz these days for its impressive nutrient composition. While you can buy expensive gel from the health food store, we always love a DIY option — especially when it’s filled with tropical fruit flavor.

When it comes to tactical matters, Capricorns are the GOAT. Their ambitious vision, paired with an unrelenting work ethic, makes those born under the sign of the sea goat pretty much impossible to derail once they’ve set their mind. Shrewd and practical, Capricorn folks can see the big picture, identify every little step it takes to get there, and plan for any potential misstep that might get in the way. If the zodiac were a corporation, Capricorn would be COO.If this description gives the impression of ruthlessness, rest assured that these high achievers are also grounded enough to keep their egos in check. In fact, for them, ego-tripping is generally viewed as an impediment to fulfilling their highest potential. At the end of the day, they are salt-of-the Earth pragmatists who see it and tell it like it is, then make real, concrete plans to make it better.At times, their self-assuredness can foster a judgmental attitude towards those whose perspectives differ from theirs, especially people who view the world through a more abstract, dreamy lens. Capricorns should check in to remind themselves that reality is subjective, and every individual has experienced unique trials and tribulations that have made them who they are. If they can keep an open mind and maintain respect for other viewpoints, they might find they won’t have to go it alone on their quest towards the prize.For down-to-earth Capricorn, we figured we’d keep things straightforward with an ever-delicious frozen daiquiri. Rum, lime, strawberries, coconut, blend: it’s that simple.

We’ve said it before, and we’ll say it again: classics are classic fora reason. Don’t overcomplicate things — blend up strawberrieswith banana and keep it moving.
