We asked our Registered Dietitian, Johane Filemon, to share how she helps care for her gut, and herself, throughout her busy life!

As a mother of five, I understand the stressors that many parents face first thing in the morning. There is a strong tie between the way our bodies are cared for and our emotions. Taking steps to improve gut health can help us reduce the impact of some of these stressors. Here is a simple gut-friendly mocktail to help you take care.

Digestion Shot Mocktail

6 oz Splendid Spoon Digestion Shot
2 tsp of apple cider vinegar
~2 cups of sparkling water
