When temperatures drop, our immune systems can feel the strain. Busy schedules, back-to-school germs, and cooler air make it easier for colds to sneak in. While no food or drink can cure a cold, supporting your body with hydration, vitamin C, antioxidants, and warm comfort can make a big difference.
This is where smoothies meet tea: Natierra’s smoothie powders aren’t just for cold shakes or bowls; they can also be stirred into warm drinks for soothing wellness boosts.
