Shelly’s Vanilla Matcha Latte
I love the smoothness and clean energy (no jitters) that matcha provides and especially look to it when I need deep focus. Green tea is one of my daily rituals that I also recommend to my clients. A matcha latte is a fun and more indulgent way to change it up. This version has the option of dates to sweeten and collagen for additional protein and benefits. Be sure to switch to decaf or mind your caffeine intake if you're sensitive to it.

Winter-spiced Apple Sauce (slow cooker)
This homemade applesauce is made multiple times in my kitchen in the fall and winter. The aromas from whole spices are other worldly delicious.. If you aren't sure that apple sauce can be indulgent, give this slow cooker spiced version a try. And if you have a vanilla bean hanging out in your pantry or have a special occasion, slice it open and drop it in for truly swoonworthy applesauce experience.

Carrot, Pear, & Nutmeg-scented Oats w/ Mascarpone
This date-sweetened steel oats blend is one of my winter favorites. Each flavor is a delight in of itself with the radiant color from the raw carrot, the creaminess from the Italian cheese, the nuttiness and extra protein from the cashew butter, and finally the bright citrus lift that you only get from fresh grated nutmeg. It's highly recommended though you could sub with pre-ground if you need to.

Chai Turmeric Latte
Your classic non-dairy, homemade, chai tea latte with an extra punch of turmeric. Or a turmeric latte meets a chai latte. However you see it, let's get some more turmeric in our bodies, shall we? This simple drink is a tasty, warming, therapeutic treat, especially in the winter. It's grounding, nourishing, and has all the spices to help soothe inflammation.

Maple-glazed Walnuts
Such a simple snack and way to mix up the flavor in place of plain nuts. I'll grab a handful of these for a quick snack around the house, add them to salads, crumble them over roasted Brussels sprouts, or have them in my backpack when I'm out and about, or on the trail.
