I love a warm comfort meal this time of year, and this is a simple recipe that you can make that packs in a lot of nutrition and flavor. Of course, southwestern chicken soup is perfect anytime, but it’s ESPECIALLY wonderful when it’s cold outside.
The winter months can be tough for a lot of people. The days are shorter, it's colder outside, and sometimes it feels like you're stuck inside all the time. This can lead to feelings of sadness, loneliness, or boredom.
That means that during the colder months, it’s more important than ever to manage your stress and support your best mood.
When it comes to your mental and emotional health, science has shown that the bacteria living in your gut can really have a significant impact on your brain and mood. This makes so much sense because of the connection that exists between your brain and your gastrointestinal tract – It is called the Gut-Brain axis.
This communication superhighway is bi-directional, meaning that it goes both ways. The brain can influence gut function, and the gut can also affect the mind.
That means gut health MUST be a priority... So thank goodness for Just Thrive!
Their Probiotic is odorless and tasteless and can easily be added to any meal. Just open the capsule, pour in the contents, and you're good to go with some effective gut-love!
For this recipe, along with the Probiotic I also added in Just Thrive Immunity Plus for an added helping of immune power! Most people take a bunch of extra nutrients during the winter to stay healthy, but with Immunity Plus, you get all the extra support you need in one simple supplement!
It's time to eat well and feel your best this season… So let’s get cooking!
