Summer Recipes


Hello:

It is very hot again in Las Vegas, so I thought I would share a few recipes with you today. One of them is for a morning wake up "cappuccino like" drink. You can make it either hot or cold.  It is guaranteed to brighten your morning and provide you with some healthy get up and go!! I hope you enjoy these recipes. Use your creativity to customize them to your tastes. Have a fun and healthy July!

2 cups hot or cold tea ( honey bush, rooibos, pau d' arco, gynostemma )

dash cinnamon and ginger
1/4 cup almond or rice milk
1 tsp coconut oil
2 tsp mesquite powder
1 tsp maca powder
1 tsp chaga mushroom powder
2 tsp cacao powder
1 tsp vanilla powder or extract
1 TBS agave or coconut sugar or your favorite sweetener

2 cups thinly shredded organic cabbage
2 cups shredded organic carrots
1/2 cup crushed roasted organic peanuts (or substitute favorite raw nuts if you're a 100% raw foodist)

1 bottle sparkling water, I use Voss in the glass bottle

Strawberry Cooler



Hello Everyone:

It's hot here in Las Vegas, so I made this delightful organic  strawberry cooler tonight. It is really a wonderful and refreshing treat after a long hot day. Here's how it goes.

Strawberry Lime Cooler
makes 2 cups

1 large fuji or granny smith apple
1/2 cup water
1 large lime, juiced
2 tsp agave
6 fresh organic strawberries, plus 2 for garnish
1/4" piece of fresh ginger ( optional )

Blend the water and apple, then strain or put through a nut milk bag. Return to blender and add the rest of the ingredients. Blend until smooth. Pour over ice, garnish with a fresh strawberry or lime wheel. Enjoy!

Blessings of health,
