Back again with more cold and flu season recs. These immune-boosting ingredients will go a long way toward fighting off congestion and the sniffles this season.

  • Tea Drops are a fair trade, eco-friendly alternative to tea bags. They’re like a bath bomb, but edible and nutritious. Coming in caffeinated, decaf, sweetened, and unsweetened varieties—chocolate gingerbread, citrus ginger, and sweet peppermint await.
  • Or, try brewing this DIY ginger tea. Real ginger! Real lime!
  • For a lil sweetness: Add a spoonful of Brightland honey. We only tried their honey for the first time a few weeks ago, and we’re already more than halfway through a jar of the 100% raw California Orange Blossom.
  • Combine the magical, healing powers of tumeric, lemon, and leafy greens in this quick and easy green smoothie. We promise it actually tastes good.
  • This ginger soy glazed salmon recipe combines ginger’s potent anti-inflammatory properties with the fish’s immune-boosting Omega-3s. Minimal steps, maximum flavor.
  • Your new fall hero dish: miso soup. This 15-minute vegan recipe is full of vitamins, nutrients, and fermentation fodder.
