EARTH TONIC // A combination of carrot, sweet potato, orange, ginger root, turmeric root, cinnamon, collagen peptides + some delicious Fronks Original Nut Milk. @freshfronks is locally made in Austin, y'all. It’s a super smooth blend of almond/cashew milk sweetened with only dates. They have an awesome home-delivery service! It really is the best tasting nut milk - unlike anything you can buy in the store. You just can’t beat that homemade creaminess and taste. Going to order us more Simple and Cocoa versions now… 😋

I made paste this week - Haldi Doodh Paste! This is a paste for Golden Turmeric tea. Mix it up, keep it in the fridge, use liberally for a nourishing pick me up / cold or flu remedy / tonic Ayurvedic potion drink. It is so yummy… gingery, creamy, coconutty, spicy, peppery & sweet goodness. Having a paste is way easier than making it from scratch every single cup! Next paste on the blog - my Warrior Wellness paste for not getting sick. That combined with this turmeric tea is a recipe for HERO VITALITY! 😉

2 Tbsp fresh grated ginger root. 3 tsp ground turmeric. 1 tsp ground cardamom. 1 tsp ground cinnamon. 1/8 tsp or slightly more ground black pepper. Mix all this up in a small jar with a spoon. Add 2-3 Tbsp raw honey to cover & coat all spices and mix very thoroughly until smooth and even. Put a lid on it! When you want to make Golden Milk - heat up ½ C coconut milk (almond milk, whole milk) with ½ C water on stove. Use 1 tsp of mix per cup of tea. Strain through a cloth or mesh strainer into your cup. Bliss out with a warm beverage.

I made the best-ever lentil soup this week and have to share it. Adapted from Sprouted Kitchen’s Everyday Lentil Soup recipe. It was devoured by adults and babies alike. Black pepper + turmeric add a nice health kick to this one, with lots of chopped kale added in for the grown ups (and greens-loving kids, if you’re so lucky). Definitely going into the regular meal rotation at our house!
Tips for the recipe:
*¼ Teaspoon Red Pepper flakes added some good spice to this. I was (happily) surprised my kids ate it up because it seemed spicy to me, so reduce or omit that if you have spice sensitivity.
*For my “Italian herbs” I just used ¼ Teaspoon each of dried parsley, oregano & basil. Worked like a charm.
*A bit of lemon zest grated into black pepper works great for “lemon pepper”.
*Omit the parmesan at the end (I used piave and it was great) if dairy intolerant - it adds flavor but can easily be enjoyed without it! Don’t skip the lemon!
Enjoy ♡.
