My 7 Nut Milk Experiments: Which is Best?

Wow! Once you've tasted the original flavor of homemade nut milk, you'll never go back! I've always been curious to compare flavor and nutrition in nut milks. Today's experiment was to compare seven nut milks made with the same easy recipe - see it below. I used Almonds, Brazil nuts, Cashews, Coconut flakes, Hazelnuts, Hemp seeds, and Pumpkin Seeds. The results were amazing, and I hope you find them helpful. For yummy flavor additions, see my recipe post: Spike Your Nut Milks! Not...

Papaya Tangerine Smoothie

Today's breakfast was a refreshing flavor treat of creamy, luscious papaya. I added tangerine, coconut milk, and strawberries for a WOW! Intensely luscious smoothie! Look for the healthy organic or non-GMO papaya with real seeds, as many papayas are genetically modified. This papaya milkshake tastes like the papaya "batido" beverages I used to buy on the street in Mexico, except those are usually made with (uh oh!) sweetened evaporated milk and sugar! I love the tantalizing tropical...

Whether it's breakfast, lunch or dinner, this super-easy favorite is satisfying and highly nutritious. Every bite is a different experience, with chunks of ginger, basil, cilantro, garlic, spices, and lime. The key to scrumptious flavor and off the charts nutrition is your BROTH!

Paleo Pumpernickel No-Rye Bread

History of Breakfast – What Happened to Our Food?

In times of total uncertainty, we need a good laugh! What if you could trace our modern diseases back to the discovery of the New World and industrialized food? Tongue in cheek, I'm not joking. Let's just trace the history of our beloved first meal of the day, in light of world money and food addictions. Yep. Especially sugar. For sure, breakfast wasn’t always corn flakes or toast with jam. Nowadays, what we eat is determined much by personal habit, but at what cost? Why are ALL the top ...
