My daughter Eva and I adapted one of my mom’s family recipes a couple of years ago and I’ve never posted it! But in honor of Eva’s Birthday this week as well as her serious baking skills for a ten year old… we are sharing …
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.
This smoothie is full of medicinal mushrooms, gut healing bone broth protein, probiotics and antioxidants from the root that makes it red: beetroot. I always detested beets or beetroot until I visited Australia where frankly, people know how to prepare it properly. I prefer to …
This smoothie is dark and brooding with chocolate and black tahini and it is full of medicinal mushrooms, fermented fruits (think all the antioxidant benefits but keto) and sesame and sunflower for seed cycling in the luteal phase. I have boosted it with a powerful …
This is a treat of a smoothie with hints of Mexican Chocolate. I prefer Ancient Nutrition Bone Broth Protein & Designs for Sport Bone Broth Protein, both of which are available in my Fullscript Dispensary.* If you want it extra chocolate, add a tbsp of cacao, but sometimes I like a milder flavor. It is full of healthy fats, omega 3’s protein, fiber and probiotics from the kefir and is quick to make! Give it a dash of cinnamon or a drop of dōTERRA Cassia or On Guard essential oil from the culinary collection.
If you prefer vegan, the Ancient Nutrition Plant based one in my Fullscript is a blend of non-inflammatory proteins like Sacha Inchi, Sprouted pumpkin seed & more and comes in vanilla and chocolate as well.
I have really taken to smoothies to break my fast of late… a habit I picked up at the end of the homeschool year because I was a bit stressed and fried from emotional gymnastics… so I could make up a smoothie to feed my nutritional needs and break my fast but still be comfortable enough to get in workout, whether it be a run or kettlebells. Let me know what you think!
Enjoy!

*I will sometimes add a scoop of 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. Available in my Wellevate Store.
This smoothie is boosted with protein, fiber and mineral rich Australian wattleseed as well as medicinal mushrooms, healthy fats, probiotics and bone broth protein to heal the gut. Ancient Nutrition Vanilla Bone Broth Protein is available in my Fullscript Dispensary. Wattleseed can be found …
I am a sucker for chocolate & raspberry and since I have moved to slightly more paleo than keto a treat like this to break my fast is just that… a treat. It is chockers with antioxidants, healthy fats, brain boosting medicinal mushrooms and omega …
I have a new favorite… I don’t know if it will stand the test of time against my Dark Chocolate Espresso Mint Cookies but the trend of this basic recipe made from collagen and cacao has been a chewy chocolate hero. These are not super sweet… so if you are used to sugar cookie crack you may not be into them… but for the AIP, Keto and health conscious they are divine. I love the earthy taste of the Chaga mushroom coming through. I have been wanting to incorporate medicinal mushrooms more in my baking for their cell renewing, immune boosting and cancer fighting benefits and I was pleasantly surprised with this! Keto and paleo cookies took some getting used to in the process of making and the doughs are finicky. I use a medium Jenaluca Scoop as I have found paleo and keto cookies to be a little difficult to work with by hand. They will also need to be pressed down with the palms of your hands. I like to coat mine with a bit of coconut oil first to keep from sticking. The dough is wetter than you would expect but it works to create the moist chewy mouthfeel. I sometimes use a large Jenaluca Scoop to make larger cookies for ice cream sandwiches… or at the request of my kiddos who want to dig in rather than have a tiny treat. I have taken to using Whole Foods 365 Keto Dark Chocolate Chips for these as they do not contain soy, but have sunflower lecithin. The lighter lilies chips I believe all use sunflower as well. So if you want to sub white chocolate chips you can still avoid the soy but will need to bake at a lower temp for longer. Give them a try and let me know what you think!
Let’s talk about tempering chocolate! Tempered chocolate is shiny and crisp and when you snap it it makes a cracking sound. If you have blooms (white on the surface of the chocolate) it has begun to lose its temper but it is not all lost. …
