Chef V’s Fire Cider

Chef V

My Chef V Fire Cider is sold in our store but if you prefer, you can make it at home with this recipe. My recipe uses healthy organic ingredients, blended fresh.
This Fire Cider is a natural anti-viral & antifungal. It is great for boosting immunity or getting rid of a sore throat or cold. It has a nice kick to it, hence the name “Fire” Cider. I use my Fire Cider all year long but especially in the winter when I need to boost my immunity and fight colds.

Homemade Gatorade

If I’m running low on Green Drink or am just in the mood for something else, I’ll make my own healthy, homemade Gatorade electrolyte drink.

I make a healthy alternative to Gatorade and other sugar-filled, artificial sports drinks. Check out my recipe.

And here’s my article about electrolytes and the importance of keeping your levels optimal.
