NEW!
Cold and flu season has a way of sneaking up fast, which is why I love having these Elderberry Smoothie Cubes ready in the freezer. They’re a simple, make-ahead option that helps support your immune system using nourishing, plant-based ingredients. When life gets busy or sickness hits, these cubes make it easier to keep fueling your body well.
Why I Love These Elderberry Smoothie Cubes
These smoothie cubes were created for real life. They’re practical, easy to use, and designed to support wellness without adding extra steps to your day.
- Support immune health during cold and flu season
- Pre-portioned and freezer-friendly for quick blending
- Elderberry has been used for generations as a natural remedy, especially during times when illnesses are circulating.
Ingredients You’ll Need
This recipe uses a small list of immune-supporting ingredients, each chosen to support seasonal wellness.
- Blueberries for antioxidants and natural sweetness
- Blackberries for fiber and rich berry flavor
- Elderberry syrup as the immune-supporting base
- Vitamin D3 drops to support immune function, especially in winter
- Olive leaf complex for traditional seasonal wellness support
Tip: When possible, choose organic berries and leave the skins on for extra dietary fiber.
How to Use the Smoothie Cubes
These cubes are designed to make smoothies easier. Simply add four cubes to one 16-ounce smoothie, along with your favorite liquid, leafy greens, or frozen fruit. Blend until smooth. They’re also great for creating a soothing berry-forward smoothie when you’re feeling under the weather.
These Elderberry Smoothie Cubes aren’t about doing everything perfectly. They’re about being prepared. Pair them with a healthy diet, daily green smoothies, good hydration, and rest when your body asks for it. Small, supportive habits add up—one cube at a time.

Ingredients

Notes
- Other fruit or berries can be substituted for the blackberries and blueberries. Strawberries are very high in vitamin C and would make an excellent substitute.
