Lately, I’ve been adding @greenhousejuice Fiery Lately, I’ve been adding @greenhousejuice Fiery Ginger shots into my daily routine for their anti-inflammatory and immune-supporting benefits #AD 
Ginger is rich in compounds like gingerols that research has linked to reduced inflammation which may even help with things like post-workout recovery (and for me, fewer acne breakouts). 
✨ Canada’s #1 best-selling ginger shot 
✨ Anti-inflammatory + immune-supporting 
✨ Available as singles, 4-packs, or a 21-day shot box 
✨ Glass bottles 
💛 Toronto + GTA friends if interested use code JULIANAC15 for 15% off your order at www.greenhouse.ca 
As an RD, I’ll say this: ginger shots aren’t a must-have for a balanced lifestyle and yes you can try making them at home, but these are a fun, easy, and convenient way to get those benefits in .
And Greenhouse Fiery Ginger has been my favourite!
