Writer's picture: undefined

This is a holiday favorite in our house, especially during winter season when you can find fresh cranberries and citrus fruit is at its prime. Both fruits are excellent source of Vitamin C, great for keeping your immune system strong during the winter months.

What Clients Say

"I would highly recommend working with Vesna. She is so motivating, supportive, and non-judgmental. I always thought I lived/ate healthy, but after approaching my mid-40s, she helped me realize It may be beneficial to make some changes. She has helped with regulating my hormones (through see-cycling), as well as encouraging I am eating enough vegetables during the day to truly nourish my body. I feel amazing and not as bloated all the time!"
