My Afternoon Snack


This is my go-to smoothie in the afternoon if I’m feeling a little tired and sluggish.  Maca is an endocrine adaptogen that has the ability to support healthy hormone production and is great for stamina and energy! Cinnamon is a blood sugar balancer and helps keep the sugar cravings away!



COCONUT MACA SMOOTHIE

INGREDIENTS: (all organic if possible)

1 cup unsweetened nut milk
¼ cup coconut milk (can)
1 frozen banana
1 tbsp maca powder (find it here:
1 tbsp nut butter
1/2 tsp vanilla
1/2 tsp ground cinnamon
2 Medjool dates, pitted

DIRECTIONS:


Blend all ingredients together in a blender until smooth and creamy!

Ancient Egyptians Used This



Cleopatra lined her eyes with charcoal! Activated charcoal has been used around the world in beauty products, for cleansing and teeth whitening. In modern medicine it's used in the ER to treat drug overdoses and poisoning by attaching to toxins and preventing their absorption.  It attracts to and binds to toxins, bacteria, dirt, and oil preventing them from causing harm.  

 Activated charcoal is derived from wood or coconut husks and then treated to increase its ability to bind to toxins.  It's available in several forms: powder, capsules, soaps, and toothpaste.  

 *Note: If you take it internally be sure to drink plenty of water because it can cause dehydration. 
3 Ways I Use Activated Charcoal:

 Teeth Whitener- I use the powder and mix it with my natural toothpaste to help with stains and fight bad breath! (What I use) 

 Facial Soap- I like to use  Pacha Tree Tree and Charcoal Facial Bar which helps to purify the skin, draw out toxins, and and balances out oily skin. 

 Internal Detox- Activated charcoal can improve digestive function and immunity by helping to remove heavy metals and toxins that cause allergic reactions and oxidative damage, as well as viruses and parasites. (What brand I recommend)

Chill Out



I taught another children's cooking class last week at the co-op and wanted to share one of the recipes with you! 


BERRIES AND CREAM POPSICLES    
                                                              
INGREDIENTS: (all organic if possible) 

3 Cups organic strawberries 
1 Can full fat coconut milk (from the can)  
1/2 Tablespoon vanilla extract  

DIRECTIONS:  

  1. Puree strawberries in a blender or food processor. Set aside. 

  1. In a separate bowl mix coconut milk and vanilla extract together. Mix until combined thoroughly. 

  1. Pour 1-2 tablespoons of strawberry puree into each Popsicle mold. Pour 1-2 tablespoons of coconut mix into each mold. Continue to switch between the berry puree and the coconut mixture until Popsicle molds are filled. Place molds in freezer. 

  1. Allow popsicles to freeze completely before serving, about 5-8 hours. Once your popsicles are ready to serve, run the bottom of the Popsicle molds under warm water to help release them from the molds. Serve and enjoy!
