This recipe is one of my favorites and adapted from my lovely friend Heather’s recipe. It’s so quick and easy to make that I usually make a batch a week. My youngest detests lemon though so sometimes I will leave out the zest and put …
It has been a long run of sitting out on our Pancake Saturday watching my family eat and enjoy a pancake recipe that took me years to adapt and perfect. When I had my Hashimoto’s diagnosis, grains were out… even beneficial grains like einkorn. …
Of late this smoothie has been my go-to to get through the afternoon slump. It’s how I break my fast for lunch, and carries me through my post homeschool run so I can tackle a bit of work with a fully functional brain. I love it… obviously you can take out the supplemental boosters, but they are my superfoods that hit all my energy needs and help me thrive with Hashimoto’s rather than just survive.
This smoothie is made with bone broth protein (20% off in Fullscript) and is boosted with Gelatinized Red Maca from The Maca Team for women’s energy & libido and that malted milk ball flavor you couldn’t quite put your finger on. I’ve tried about a dozen maca brands and this is the best, especially if you want less starch & sugar and more potent nutriton. It also has black tahini for seed cycling (you can alternate with sprouted pumpkin seeds for the follicular phase) healthy fats and probiotics. Bone broth protein is incredibly gut healing but if you are vegan you can sub with a clean plant protein like Ancient Nutrition’s or pea protein. Let me know what you think!

Ancient Nutrition Bone Broth Protein & A.N. plant based protein available in my Fullscript Practitioner Dispensary. Gelatinized Red Maca available in The Maca Team store. (Black Maca for Men’s libido and flu resistance). Links in shop. 💛
*Of late I have been adding modified citrus pectin from EcoNugenics (PectaSol-C) as it is an extremely powerful immune modulator, detoxifier and supports cardiovascular and cellular health. It doesn’t taste like much so blends into everything. Also available in my Fullscript Dispensary.
I love having easy breakfast for my kiddos… and because I practice intermittent fasting I like to put a pot of overnight millet porridge (a lectin free type of congee) in the instant pot once or twice per week. Feel free to add whatever you …
All right… I’ve been making smoothies like mad and haven’t been posting them to the blog! Guilty! This is what life-as-homeschool-mom brings. But these babies are so good I can’t let it go without sharing. Stay tuned… more to come. I feel so blessed that …
This is soooo quick and easy. Slower when you’re photographing every step but really and truly it only takes a few minutes to put together when you have the coconut yogurt whey or whey from a milk kefir strain. The probiotics eat up some of the lectin content as well as the maple syrup and aid in getting it to stick together. So the end product once you’ve let it culture and then dehydrated it is a microbiome boosting morning cereal without all the sugar, fillers and binders you get in store bought granola. My kids and husband love it, and especially this simpler version. For a fancy take on it you can have a look at this recipe, and here for a grain free version. I have started doing this again to help with quick, nutritious and enjoyable breakfasts for the kids before we start homeschool. They really love it! Give it a try and let me know what you think!
Update- March 2021: I have found my kids favorite oats to use for this are Bob’s Red Mill Golden Spurtle oats. They are a bit more rough cut and create a crumble when doing this recipe with whey or a thin culture. See photo just below. If you want the oats to cluster use old fashioned style rolled.
Enjoy!

These are a thin, rollable pancake, more like dutch babies or crepes. I have been exploring substitutes for our einkorn to make breakfast a little more everyone friendly and to get a bit more variety in my kids gut biomes. We want to feed those …
Hey friends! As promised, I’m posting some of my family recipes in the absence of my ability to be creative with my own food at the moment… you know… the stuff I can actually eat. This is a thin pancake, much like a cross between …
