1-3 Servings
5 min. prep time
30 min. cook time

3-4 cups Biocera or filtered water
3-4 T Roasted dandelion root
1 T Raw cacao nibs or cacao chocolate
1 T Raw ghee, butter or coconut oil
½ T cinnamon chips
½ tsp cardamom pods
¼ tsp clove root
½ cup coconut milk or substitute
1 T stevia or choice sweetener (i.e. raw honey, maple syrup, etc)
½ tsp vanilla extract A dash of nutmeg

Decoct the roasted dandelion rt, cacao nibs and cinnamon chips in water with the lid on allowing the mixture to simmer for 30 minutes.
Remove from heat and strain spent herbs. Allow to cool for 5-10 minutes.
Once cool enough add the remaining ingredients: ghee, coconut milk, stevia, vanilla extract and nutmeg.
Use an immersion hand blender or blender to froth the substance to liking. Enjoy!

Tips:

This recipe aids folks weaning off coffee or trying to lower consumption.
Chicory also pairs well with dandelion providing the stimulating, bitter tastiness that coffee offers to coffee lovers.*Warning: chicory is also high in prebiotic fiber, therefore it may cause gastrointestinal distress for those who have dysbiosis.
If you still need a buzz you can mix in small amounts of coffee.

Image by Caitlyn Tischer

12 (pieces) servings
30-45 min. prep time

½ cup coconut oil
3/4 cup cacao powder
3 T cacao butter or coconut mana
1 T maca
¼ tsp cinnamon
¼ tsp Himalayan pink salt
¼ tsp vanilla bean or vanilla extract

Nut Butter Filling:

½ cup nut butter

optional additions:

⅓ cup local honey, stevia, maple syrup or medjool dates
¼ tsp cardamom
¼ tsp nutmeg

Fill a medium pot or Pyrex contain with water (doesn’t need to be filtered). Bring to a boil and reduce heat to a simmer.
In smaller Pyrex container add in cacao butter, mana or oil and allow to “double boil” until liquid. Add any optional sweeteners here.
Remove from heat and add in cacao powder, maca, cinnamon, salt and vanilla bean or extract.
Pour ½ inch of mixture evenly into chocolate 12 silicone muffin cups.
Place in the freezer for 10-15 minutes.
Remove from freezer and add in roughly ½ tbsp raw nut butter in each cup. Use a spoon to gently flatten nut butter over the cacao base.
Drizzle remaining ½ inch of cacao mixture over nut butter.
Place back in freezer for 10-15 minutes. Remove double checking they solidified fully and enjoy!

Tips:

We enjoy our chocolate on the raw, bitter side. If you would like it sweeter taste adjust to your liking.
Substitute vanilla extract for peppermint, lavender, orange or coffee. Get creative!
If you have trouble on step 6, simply roll the nut butter into a ball and flatten it prior to adding over frozen cacao mixture.
If you like your cups thicker add more mixture at step 4. If you would like your cup thinner reduce the amount here as well.
Add a raisin, goji berry, sprouted nut or cacao nibs on step 7 for additional garnish creativity. You can also sprinkle salt here too.

0 Comments

1 serving
30-45 min. prep time

Place the bladder or bucket on a surface approximately 3' above the ground
Place a towel down and lie down on your back
Insert the small thin part of the tub about 3-6" into your rectum (use an oil or gel to lubricate the tube if necessary)
Unlock the clamp and allow the coffee to begin to slowly flow into your body
After all the coffee has been emptied from the bladder or bucket, turn over onto your right side (removing the tube at this stage may cause a release of liquid back out o your body)
Try to hold the coffee in for at least 12-15 minutes by breathing and relaxing your body. Read a book, or listen to music to distract yourself if necessary
When you need to release the coffee enema from your body simply sit on the toilet and allow all of this liquid to be expelled

Tips:

To accelerate step 3, you can pour the brew into a glass container and place in the fridge. Check temperature frequently to avoid letting the brew become to cold.

sprouted garbanzo flatbread

12/26/2018

0 Comments

8 servings
3 day prep time
15-20 min. cook time

2 ½ cups sprouted garbanzo flour*
2 cups filtered
H2O
3 T sesame oil
1 tsp salt

Sprouting:

Use a ½ gallon or quart sized mason jar with a mesh lid to soak 1 ½ cups garbanzo beans overnight in a cool, dark place.
Regularly check on the beans throughout the first 4 hours. Refill when necessary, beans will be fully submerged for the first 12 hours at least.
Drain the beans and rinse. Allow to suspend in a bowl, mug, or jar for the next 2-3 days. Rinse at least 2 times a day.
Once the tails have grown half the size of the beans lay them on a baking sheet.
In an effort to simulate a dehydrator, preheat the oven to 200 degrees F or as low as temperature as possible.
Keep the oven slightly open for better air circulation.
Allow the beans to cook for 2-3 hours - check on them regularly. Rotate the beans gently with your hands to determine their humidity.
Once the beans have “dehydrated” they are ready to process into flour.
Use a heavy duty grinder or food processor and allow the beans to grind until a fine meal is achieved.
If not using the flour immediately store in a clean, dry jar fit to size until ready for use.

Flatbread:

Mix all the ingredients in a large bowl and allow to sit for 30 minutes.
Meanwhile, preheat the broiler.
Before time is up, lightly oil a 12.5 in x 10.25 in wide cast iron skillet and preheat in the oven for 5 minutes.
Carefully remove from the oven and pour the flatbread mix into the skillet. It will begin to cook on the edges and turn golden brown.
Allow to cook for 15-20 minutes. Check status every 5 minutes.
When desired consistency is achieved remove the bread from oven and allow the flatbread to cool. Cut into 8 pieces and remove to enjoy!

Tips:

Sprouting garbanzo beans is not necessary, however we highly recommend it for exponential amounts of health benefits alternative to using non-sprouted garbanzo flours.
Add zesty spices or fresh herbs such as rosemary, thyme, garlic, cayenne or turmeric to enhance the savory flavors!

Gluten free crackers

12/20/2018

0 Comments

4-5 servings
5-10 min. prep time
15-20 min. cook time

1 cup gluten free oats
1 cup filtered H2O
¾ cup pumpkin seeds
½ cup sunflower seeds
½ cup chia seeds
½ cup flax seed
½ cup sesame seeds savory

savory optional additions:

1-2 sheets of Nori or 1 tsp chlorella and/or spirulina powder
½ tbsp chipotle or cajun spice
2 tsp turmeric
1-2 tsp cayenne
1 tsp chili flakes pinch Himalayan pink salt pinch of black pepper

sweet optional additions:

1 tsp cinnamon
¼ tsp maca root powder
¼ tsp nutmeg

Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F.
Grind the GF oats, flax and chia seeds into a fine powder.
Mix all ingredients together in a large pyrex bowl making sure everything is evenly combined.
Add in sweet or savory flavors here if any desired and allow to sit for 5 minutes.
Once the ingredients have coagulated, split the dough into two proportionate balls.
For each half, use a roller or spatula to spread the dough onto parchment paper or use a pyrex container. If you use a pyrex container lightly oil the bottom so the crackers don’t stick.
Once both doughs have been spread evenly to your choice of thick or thinness, cut the crackers into the desired shape and size.
Cook for 10-20 minutes. This all depends on the girth of the crackers. Check on them in the first 5 minutes. Rotate to avoid burning and for a consistent cook.
Once they reach a golden brown on the sides remove and allow to finish cooking as they cool down. Enjoy!

Tips:

Not all crackers are created equal! Each batch comes out a little different than the other depending on ingredients. Use your best judgement, start with less water than more in case it comes out too liquidy.
If you do experience too much of a liquid texture simply add more ground GF oats, or add water if it is too floury.

Holy Guacamole!
4 servings
20 min. prep time

4 ripe avocados
1 medium heirloom tomato
1 fresh squeezed lime or lemon
1 tbsp olive oil
1-2 fresh minced garlic cloves
¼ cup red onion
½ minced jalapeno
1 tbsp minced shallot
2 sprigs cilantro
½ tbsp chipotle or cajun spice
2 tsp turmeric
1-2 tsp cayenne
1 tsp chili flakes pinch himalayan pink salt pinch of black pepper

optional additions:

1 cup of beans
½ cup local
raw goat cheese
1 tbsp of butter
1 tbsp nutritional yeast
1 tsp cayenne

In a large bowl mash the ripe avocados together.
Add olive oil, fresh-squeezed lemon or lime and all spices into the avocado mash.
Mince red onion, shallot, garlic, cilantro and chop heirloom tomatoes. Add to guacamole.
Mix all the ingredients until desired texture is achieved.
Adjust flavors as necessary to liking and enjoy!

Tips:

Adding chipotle is nice for a smokey flavor, especially if you choose to add in beans. The beans will also enhance a more satiating effect making this a great potluck item leaving everyone satisfied!
Butter may sound weird, but it actually taste great! Cut about a tbsp amount of butter and throw it in your guacamole. We use Kerigold unsalted butter if we do this.
If you have access to a local, organic and raw source of goat cheese this makes a nice addition. However, due to the scarcity of this circumstance you may choose to add pasteurized cheese if you are dairy-friendly as you’d like.
Nutritional yeast makes a great alternative for that zesty, cheesy flavor everyone can enjoy!

Lifeproof Coffee

8/6/2018

0 Comments

Image by Joe Pineda

2 servings
10 minutes

2 ½ heaping tablespoons ground coffee beans
1 teaspoon – 2 tablespoons MCT oil (C8 caprylic acid, if possible)
1-2 tablespoons grass-fed, unsalted butter or 1-2 teaspoons of grass-fed ghee.

optional additions:

1/2 cup coconut milk
2 tbsp Cocoa powder
2 tbsp Maca powder
2 tbsp Turmeric powder
1 tbsp coconut manna
1 tbsp grass-fed collagen powder
1 tsp cinnamon
1 pinch Himalayan salt

Brew 1 cup (8-12 ounces) of coffee using filtered water with freshly ground coffee beans. Use a French Press for ease of use and to preserve beneficial coffee oils that paper filters keep out. Allow the ground coffee beans to steep in the French Press for 4 minutes, then slowly push the plunger all the way down.
Pour the coffee into a cup to cool, or directly in a blender to begin adding the remaining ingredients.
Add MCT oil (start slow with this stuff – it’s powerful!) and grass-fed, unsalted butter or grass-fed ghee.
Add cocoa, maca, and turmeric powder, as well as, coconut milk and manna, cinnamon, and salt.
Mix it all in a blender for 20-30 seconds until it looks like a creamy latte. There will be a good amount of foam on top.
Finally, add the collagen powder and blend on a low setting until adequately mixed (this is added last in an effort to avoid protein degradation).

Tips:

When selecting coffee, seek organically-produced beans, to avoid contamination of pesticides. In addition, to avoid mycotoxins (mold), select coffee beans that are sourced from a single origin - in other words, avoid coffee blends.
If a sweeter beverage is desired, feel free to add a tablespoon of raw honey. Avoid adding the honey when the beverage is scorching hot to prevent nutrient degradation.

2 servings
5 minutes

1 1/2 cups light unsweetened coconut milk
1 1/2 tbsp ground turmeric
1/4 tsp ground ginger
1/4 tsp ground cinnamon
Pinch ground black pepper

3 servings
20 minutes

2 inch freshly grated turmeric
2 inch freshly grated ginger
1 lemon
1 tbsp raw honey

Fill your kettle with 3 cups of reversed osmosis water, and boil at medium heat.
In the meantime freshly grate ginger and turmeric into a saucepan, or bowl. Also, freshly squeeze the juice from the lemon.
Once your water is boiling pour it gently into your bowl or saucepan. While the water is still hot mix in the honey.
Lastly, put a lid on the sauce pan and set your timer for 10 minutes to allow the ingredients to mingle. Enjoy!

Tips:

You can skip the saucepan step and transfer the raw ingredients into your desired jar or cup, then pour water into your cup, mix in the honey, and allow the ingredients to infuse.
Turmeric and ginger can be used in the teaspoon form, as well. Just use a teaspoon of each.
Try making this into a summer drink by having it cold and add seasonal berries to let soak overnight before enjoying!
You can use other sweeteners in replacement of honey, such as stevia, maple syrup, coconut sugar, agave nectar, etc.

Oat milk can be substituted for any other milk (coconut milk, hemp milk, etc.).
If prepared overnight, pour in enough milk so that the dry ingredients are covered by about an inch, or as desired.

6-8 servings
1 day

5 cups water
2 cups gluten-free oats
2 cups oat groats
1 tbsp vanilla extract

Blend all of the ingredients.
Strain the mixture using a cheesecloth into a glass container.
The remaining fibrous oat mixture can be turned into oat yogurt or can be dispensed.
Depending on taste and texture, add cup of water to acquire a thick and creamy consistency.

Tips:

The milk can be sweetened by adding 1-2 Medjool dates.
Flavored oat milk can be obtained by adding freeze-dried fruit powders or extracts.
Don't use metal lids or spoons to stir this, it may alter the flavor. This milk will separate after short a period of time and need to be mixed after sitting.
This recipe pairs well with buckwheat granola.

2 servings
2-3 day prep time

4 cups filtered water
2 ½ cups gluten free oat groats, steel cut or rolled oats
½ cup unsweetened coconut shreds
4 Brazil nuts
1 tsp vanilla bean or extract
1 tsp cinnamon or cinnamon chips
½ tsp Himalayan salt

topping additions:

1 cup local, seasonal fruit (if possible)
2 T nut butter
1 T raisins
1 T hemp seeds
1 T sunflower seeds
1 T cacao nibz

optional additions:

⅓ cup local honey, stevia, maple syrup or medjool dates
1 T cacao powder
1 tsp maca
¼ tsp cardamom
¼ tsp nutmeg

Grind oat groats, steel cut, rolled oats cut oats into flour using a high speed blender, grain mill or food processor.
Soak oat grinds/flour overnight. Be sure to leave a little water for the oats to absorb.
Blend the soaked oats with 4 cups of water and remaining ingredients. Add in any optional additions here. Save the toppings for later.
Add the blended consistency into a large sealable container and cover using a plate, coffee filter or cheesecloth with a rubber band.
Allow oat mixture to ferment in a warm or sunny spot in your home for the next 2-3 days. Depending on sour preference end the process at anytime as long as 12 hours was granted to ferment.
Once ready to eat add in parfait toppings. Enjoy!

Tips:

We prefer our yogurt on the sour side. We let it go for 3 days including the first 12 hour soak. It also depends on your climate how fast the process will go and the home you live in.
If you’re feeling creative blend in fresh fruit after the fermentation process to give it a specific flavor or simply meal prep your parfaits mixing in frozen or fresh fruit the night before.

Buckwheat Granola

1/26/2017

0 Comments

Image by Joe Pineda

5 servings
1.5 hour prep time

3 cups buckwheat groats
1/4 cup maple syrup
1/4 cup unsweetened cacao nibs
3 T coconut oil, melted

Set the oven to 260 degree F.
Melt coconut oil and combine with all the ingredients in a bowl. Distribute the oil evenly among all of the ingredients.
Spread out all of the ingredients on a sheet of baking parchment paper and bake for one hour.
Allow granola to cool before storing in a air tight jar or container.

Tips:

Fig juice from the fig bar recipe can be reused for this recipe.
Excessive amounts of sugar should be avoided. Albeit, sugar helps hold the granola together. We prefer them sugar free. This way they are more like healthy grape nuts.
This recipe pairs well with oat milk to create a cereal-like breakfast. Add fresh fruit, nuts, seeds, and nut butter with a dash of cinnamon.
