So, I swore I wouldn't get the cold that my whole family has gotten and I have made a really good run of it, but low and behold....I did catch it. I do believe it is not as bad as the rest of the fam's cold though. They all got real nasaly stuffy and I really don't feel super sick. It's more of an annoyance. The tickle in my throat is keeping me from sleeping at night and I just wanna be done with it. So, I have concocted a cold smoothie. This one has a ton of vitamin c! It's a little spice, a little soothing and alot tasty:
1 pineapple core (you can buy a bunch of them in the store in a pack for under $2.00.)
1/2 cup of mixed frozen tropical fruit
1 clementine
1/2 cup coconut milk
1 shake cinnamon
1 shake cayanne
1 packet of stevia
1/2 banana
You can always substitute pineapple flesh instead of the core, but the core has a higher concentration of bromeline in it. You can also subsititute water for coconut milk But I would not substitute cow milk for it. Dairy can make you extra phlegmy.
My Food Philosophy
It starts with realizing your connection with the Earth. The earth will always provide you with the food that you need. Whole food in its purest form. Not chemically laden formulas disguised as food. You will begin to appreciate the people who grow the food. You will not settle for a fruit or vegetable that was grown in the most clean way possible. Because, you see, the energy from these foods becomes a part of you when you ingest it. It's all about conscious eating. Being aware of not only what you put in your mouth but where is comes from. I choose to live a plant based and gluten free lifestyle. This blog is an evolution of sorts. It starts with my dedication to using whole foods and moves into my dedication to a plant based cooking lifestyle. All those recipes you didn't think you could have eating the way I do....Bon Appetite
