Fight Spring Allergies with Mocktails

 

The first step to fighting Spring allergies is through nutrition. People often forget that food is medicine, and we can help our bodies fight off allergens like pollen, dust, and blooming flowers through the nutrients found in the foods we eat.

There are 3 mocktails that are my absolute favorite ways to fight off those allergies!
