Winter can be one of the dreariest times of the year. You've just come off a holiday high, the weather is cold, and we're cooped up inside. While the days are getting longer and we're settling into our New Year routines, sometimes all we need is a little comfort to help get us through the rest of winter and stick to the new intentions that we've set for ourselves.
If you need a little push to help get you through the next few months — from avoiding the flu to self-care rituals and comfort foods — we've got just what you're looking for. Grab your LĒVO and dive in!
Here are 10 infused winter recipes to help you get through the season:
1. DIY Flu Remedy
This time of year is susceptible to those flu-like symptoms, so whether you’re working from home or headed to the office every day, be prepared and stay hydrated with one of our go-to winter recipes: ginger honey lemon tonic DIY flu remedy.

2. Vegan Cauliflower Soup
One sure way to get in your veggies is to blend them up in a scrumptious soup! This must-try vegan cauliflower soup recipe is full of nutrients. Think: fiber, B-vitamins, antioxidants, phytonutrients, vitamin A, vitamin K1, vitamin C and more. We infuse rosemary into olive oil to add depth to the flavor of the roasted vegetables.

Sometimes it’s OK to be lazy. And eat cake. That’s why we love mug cakes! Mug cakes can be made quickly, popped in the microwave, and ready in 2 minutes to satisfy your sweet tooth.

Make it even easier by using our Organic Brownie Mix as the base. Try our infused peanut butter chocolate mug cake recipe. If this was a hit, you should also try our Infused Hot Chocolate to keep you warm this winter.
