Bulletproof Coffee Recipe
Here’s the thing about bulletproof coffee: it makes you super productive without any of the jitters or crash that a regular cup of coffee has. If you don’t know what bulletproof coffee is, it’s basically coffee with coconut oil and grassfed butter that’s been tossed in a blender until it’s frothy like a latte. Sound dubious? I know! The first time I tried it, I did gag a little bit. I did not finish it right away. Fifteen minutes later I started to feel awesomely refreshed and ready to work. I finished the cup. Two hours later I was having the most clear, productive morning. Three and a half hours…
Dairy-Free Cream Cheese Recipe
A nice schmear of rich cream cheese perfectly takes the edge off the dryness of a breaded breakfast pastry like a bagel. Does dairy give anyone else a little bit of an upset stomach? This dairy-free cream cheese recipe solves all of your worries. It’s made from full-fat coconut cream, so it does have a lot of fat in it (duh) and a naturally sweet taste. Lightly sweeten it with maple syrup, or if you are sensitive to sugars skip the syrup. I prefer the maple-flavored cream cheese for a fun garnish on these grain-free rainbow bagels, but a more savory dish with salty salmon may be better off without it.…
Paleo Cranberry Sauce Recipe
Mmmmm… cranberry sauce. Fresh cranberry sauce can be so delicious and good for you. However, many recipes call for an overload of refined sugar to take the tart edge off the natural cranberry flavor. Personally, I don’t mind the tartness much. But you don’t have to load refined sugar into your cranberry sauce to make it sweet. Maple syrup or honey make an easy and healthier substitute for all of that sugar. Local honey can even help with any allergies you may get this time of year. Try this delicious paleo cranberry sauce recipe I made this year. You’ll love it! Paleo Cranberry Sauce Ingredients 1 1/2 Cups Fresh Cranberries…
