One key addition I’ve been adding into my routine recently are the Sambucol black elderberry immunity cold & flu relief gummies. They are delicious, immune support for the entire family. They can be taken daily or when sick to fight the symptoms of colds and flu. They’re made with premium elderberries plus vitamin c and zinc for increased illness prevention and protection.

Below are the highlights of what makes this meal prep beneficial for immune health:

Elderberry: Black elderberries are very high in vitamin C and are the most concentrated source of the powerful antioxidant, anthocyanin. Research has shown that anthocyanins boost the production of cytokine proteins in your body, which strengthens your body’s immunity and ability to fight viruses. Elderberry is found in the Sambucol gummies.


Vitamin A: Vitamin A plays a key role in our immune system and maintaining the health of our mucosal surfaces. Carrots, broccoli and leafy greens are all ingredients featured in this meal prep that are rich in vitamin A.

Vitamin C: Vitamin C is an antioxidant that plays a big role in our immune systems and can help fight cold symptoms. Each of these recipes are a significant source of vitamin C. Peppers, tomatoes, oranges, marinara sauce and pineapple are all vitamin c champions found in these recipes!

Turmeric: a rich yellow spice that has natural anti-inflammatory properties and may reduce susceptibility to colds, coughs and congestion.  Turmeric is added to the smoothie cubes.

Fibre: Soluble fibre, found in oranges, oats and beans can reduce inflammation and speed up recovery from bacterial infections.
