Banana Bread with Immune Tonic

A classic banana bread recipe with an herbal twist for the fall season.

There’s something so comforting about banana bread. The smell of it baking and the warmth of the oven, especially as the seasons change and we spend more time indoors, cozying up.

Changing seasons generally adds occasional stress to the body, so that’s a time when we start relying on Immune Tonic.

As herbalists, we are always thinking of creative ways to get herbs into our everyday life. Plenty of immune-supporting herbs and medicinal mushrooms seemed like the perfect thing to pair with this cozy treat.

What’s so great about Immune Tonic?

When you look at herbal formulas geared toward immunity, almost all of them are designed to support you when you are already facing challenges. This nourishing blend of organic medicinal mushrooms roots and berries is traditionally used to support the immune system and support healthy defenses. *

This banana bread makes the perfect treat with a dollop of maple walnut cream cheese or salted butter.

Serve with some hot tea, and good company!
