SOOTHING TURMERIC LATTE

This is made with coconut oil, bold or dark coffee, cocoa, dates, cinnamon & of course turmeric. I like it warm but some like it cold. Best of all, its a treat that’s Gluten Free & Anti-Inflammatory

Ingredients

  • 1 tablespoon cashew or almond butter (I like cashew better)
  • 1/4 teaspoon ground turmeric
  • 1/4 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1/4 teaspoon ground cinnamon
  • a dash of pepper (approx 1/8 teaspoon?)
  • 1 teaspoon cocoa powder
  • 1-2 teaspoons coconut oil
  • 2-4 dates for sweetness
  • 1  cup of coffee (or espresso)

Instructions

  1. Add all of your ingredients to a Ninja type blender. Blend until your dates are emulsified.
  2. Pour into your favorite mug and enjoy.

 

GUACAMOLE

Here’s a recipe that you can bring to a party and it tastes good with pretty much anything.

Ingredients

  • 3 ripe avocados
  • 1 garlic cloves
  • 1 tablespoon of lemon juice
  • salt and pepper (to taste)
  • A couple chopped green onions or a half of a small onion minced ( I like the ½ a small onion better but if you don’t like onions much go with the green ones)

Instructions

  1.  Smush, mash and mix the avocados with the lemon juice
  2. Add the rest of the ingredients
  3. Eat and enjoy!

Like many things we make…. if you let it sit together for an hour the tastes really blend together nicely. Also, if you can do nightshades or like cilantro then you’re welcome to add those chopped up in there for little change of pace too.

 

PROTEIN SMOOTHIE

 Eating enough protein with each meal is a really important way to regulate your blood sugar level. Protein slows down the insulin response. Having high blood sugar levels for extended period of time can lead to high blood lipid levels, high cholesterol and diabetes. It also adds to the inflammation problem in our body. These are all situations you want to stay away from. This protein shake is one you can have as a snack or meal replacement. If you have a ninja it goes really fast.

Ingredients

 

  • One serving or 2 tablespoons of protein powder
  • 1/2 cup of organic frozen berries (can be blueberries strawberries blackberries etc. Raspberries make a little bit more tart. I don’t like cherries but you can use those too)
  • 8oz of almond milk or cashew milk or whatever your favorite nondairy milk is.

Optional: You can always add half a banana, ground flaxseeds, vanilla extract, acidophilus, or magnesium (the product called CALM).

Instructions

  1. Add all ingredients in a blender or ninja, blend for a minute
  2. Drink up!
