It is finally fall!

As the temperatures drop, our immune systems need an extra boost to help protect us from catching a cold or the flu.

This all-natural ginger tea recipe has whole food immune boosting ingredients that will keep you healthy without knocking you out of the Keto Zone.

Ginger and cinnamon are loaded with antioxidant and immune boosting compounds that will keep your body strong enough to fight off any pathogenic bacteria and viruses you might come across.

Lemon juice contains vitamin C which also helps to strengthen your immune system and promote healthy digestion. Apple cider vinegar has probiotics which act to counteract the unhealthy bacteria that can cause the common cold.

Additionally, this recipe has pumpkin spice MCT powder which provides a delicious fall flavor as well as healthy fats to fuel the mitochondria in your cells. To top things off we added a small amount of raw honey which is loaded with vitamins, minerals, and immune factors. A quarter teaspoon of raw honey only adds a few grams of carbohydrates which is not enough to prevent ketosis.
