Instead of Coffee
If you are like me and love coffee but can not handle the blood sugar rise and dip - try aBarley drink.There are several kinds to try. Inka is a rich, flavorful instant grain beverage enjoyed by Polish families for generations. Rye, barley, beets, and chicory root are simply roasted,ground and combined to make Naturalis Inka the perfect substitute for coffee.
Chia Power Smoothie
Try adding acai or cacao into the pudding mixture below for an extra nourishing punch
3 Tbsp. Chia Seeds
1 tsp. Maca Powder
2T. Agave
2 bananas
1 tsp. extra virgin coconut oil
1 granule to 1 tsp. bee pollen *
2-3 Tbsp. Hemp Seeds or Hemp Hearts
1/2 cup of berry mix - blueberries, strawberries, rasperries, goji berries - you choose!
1/2 cup water
1/4 cup almond milk
Blend water, chia seeds and agave with Almond milk. Add bananas, coconut oil, bee pollen and maca. Blend into a thick cream or pudding. Pour over a mix of chia seeds and berries. Enjoy! *Bee Pollen takes time to adjust to - therefore if you don't regularly use it - start out with a 1-2 granule(s).
Chocolate AVOCADO SMOOTHIE
This is a great solution for a chocolate craving - instead a sugar-laden candy bar, give this a try.
¼ cup Raw Chocolate Nibs
