How to Make this Delightful Beverage: Heat/steep one green tea bag in 2 cups of either unsweetened almond milk, unsweetened coconut milk, or water. Pour hot tea in blender and add […]
Read More »While it is more convenient to buy canned pumpkin, you don’t always get all the fiber and nutrients that you would if you used a whole pumpkin. And since it is October as I write this, whole pumpkins can easily be found. Pumpkin puree can be used in smoothies, tasty treats, and even face treatments. […]
Read More »It’s October right now. Pumpkins are in season. Pumpkin gets overlooked as a superfood, but it is. It has potassium, iron, magnesium, zinc, copper, and lots of beta carotene (great antioxidant). Now is a great time to stock up on canned pumpkin and have it available for months.
