Pumpkin on a purse I’ll cherish forever! 🐶

Comment “recipe” for these pomegranate ginger wellness shots that save money and add more nutrition to your day in 2 sips. 😎

Made with 100% pomegranate juice, they not only taste incredible but they also have polyphenol antioxidant goodness thanks to POM Wonderful 100% pomegranate juice, plus vitamin C, fresh turmeric, and ginger.

Plus, every bottle of POM juice contains whole-pressed pomegranates and nothing else – no fillers and never any added sugar.

And if you don’t want to take them like a shot you can pour sparkling water on top for a delicious and nutritious mocktail. I love drinking them like that too! 🍹

Worth the cheddar?! 🧀

I think so! Here are a few more reasons why 👇🏻

(sustainably caught) wild-caught salmon — higher in vitamins and minerals and those essential omega-3s that we must get from our diets, and most of us are not getting enough of so I do think swapping farm raised to wild is 100% worth it. Canned wild-caugh counts too!

high quality extra virgin olive oil — this ones really a no brainer! Not cheap but also high in very beneficial polyphenols so you want to make sure you’re investing in one that’s going to deliver. It should always be from one place (not a blend), organic, cold pressed, and in a dark glass bottle. Bonus points for the harvest date listed on the bottle.

bone broth — I’d like to think one day I’ll make it from scratch but today is not that day. Because it’s SO RICH in nutrients I’d rather pay a little more than not have it in my diet.

SOME pre-cut veggies — pick and choose here based on what is realistic for your lifestyle. I always grab coleslaw because I know I’ve never going to make this mix at home and it’s easy to throw a handful on tacos, bowls and so much more

Sumo citrus — since they’re only is season for a little while I don’t mind the cost because they’re a great source of vitamin C, refreshing and fun

What else would you add to this list? Honorable mention is a block of Parmesan cheese!
