Mini everything seems to be all the rage lately. Mini can still pack a mighty punch though when it comes to these elderberry wellness shots. Featuring elderberry, lemon, and echinacea, they\u2019re an immune supporting powerhouse, especially during the colder months.\u00a0<\/p>\n

I recently came up with these ginger turmeric immunity shots<\/a>. While they\u2019re an amazing anti-inflammatory and immune supporting drink, they are a little spicy. These elderberry shots also have great health benefits, but they\u2019re something that even little ones will love. They have a tangy lemon flavor balanced out by immune supporting raw honey.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Elderberry For Wellness<\/h2>\n

Take a look around the Wellness Mama website and you\u2019ll see plenty of recipes with elderberries. There are elderberry gummies<\/a>, elderberry kombucha<\/a>, and the ever popular elderberry syrup. This recipe is another play on elderberry, but in a concentrated version.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Unlike the ginger turmeric shots which are simply blended together, this recipe does require some cooking. You can use either fresh or dried elderberries here. Elderberries need to be cooked first because they contain cyanogenic glycosides. While they\u2019re not poisonous, they are toxic and can cause some serious digestive issues for some people. The safest way to get the benefits of elderberry is to make sure that they\u2019re cooked first.\u00a0<\/p>\n

A Squirt of Lemon<\/h3>\n

Despite their inviting purple color, elderberry really doesn\u2019t have much flavor on its own. The taste in most elderberry syrup recipes comes from the other ingredients, like cinnamon or ginger. These wellness shots add some fresh lemon juice for a bit of tang and to brighten the flavor.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Lemon is also a great source of vitamin C.<\/a> This antioxidant helps manage free radicals in the body to control inflammation and increase iron absorption. Lemons are also rich in flavonoids, which research shows are health protective across the board. A Danish study with over 56,000 participants found that those who regularly ate flavonoids had a lower risk of death from any reason, including heart and cancer related deaths.<\/p>\n

Immune Boosting Echinacea<\/h3>\n

Similar to elderberry, echinacea herb <\/a>can also reduce the length and severity of viral illness. Echinacea also shows some benefits when it comes to bacterial infections. While echinacea has gained a following as a \u201ccold and flu\u201d herb, it\u2019s not quite so simple. <\/p>\n

Traditional use and modern day science shows echinacea works best right at the beginning of a cold. If it\u2019s not taken right at that first throat tickle and often enough for several days, it really doesn\u2019t have much effect.\u00a0<\/p>\n

I like making a batch of these elderberry wellness shots when I feel something coming on and the kids love it too. So, bottom\u2019s up!<\/p>\n
