Malted Chocolate Smoothie with Maca for Hormone Balance

Malted Chocolate Smoothie with Maca for Hormone Balance

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 

Chai Tahini Smoothie

Chai Tahini Smoothie

This smoothie is full of gorgeous chai medicinal mushrooms from Four Sigmatic’s Chai Latte with Reishi, healthy fats, probiotics and bone broth protein to heal the gut.  It is a great option for seed cycling in the luteal phase as it has sesame and sprouted sunflower seeds for progesterone support. Seed cycling works for some and not for others it seems, but for me it has been very helpful to regulate my cycle, especially when it has been thrown out by environmental factors.

I have boosted it with modified citrus pectin, as clinical studies show it helps with a myriad of issues from autoimmunity to arthritis. I get MCP 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. Ancient Nutrition Vanilla Bone Broth Protein and PectaSol-C are available in my Fullscript Practitioner Dispensary.

This one in particular tastes like keto dessert heaven.

Enjoy!

Mocha Mushroom Pumpkin Seed Smoothie

Mocha Mushroom Pumpkin Seed Smoothie

Hello!  It’s been an interesting season of figuring out my energy, weight fluctuations and what’s been behind them and frankly just balancing trying to homeschool three children with running a few businesses.  I have needed quick, simple and light lunch options to break my fast

Mexican Mocha Smoothie 🤎

Mexican Mocha Smoothie 🤎

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!

Dark Chocolate Chaga Cookies (Keto & Paleo Friendly)

Dark Chocolate Chaga Cookies (Keto & Paleo Friendly)

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!
