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.

This recipe is an adaption from one of my beloved nutrition and therapeutic cooking instructors at Bastyr University, Jennifer Adler. It's tweaked for a fall flare and was created for a lifestyle design conference workshop for lady entrepreneurs (RebelleCon) who want to make nutrition delicious and sustainable in their busy lives.

Roasted Sweet Potato Fries

Sweet potato fries are very much a whole food, just roasted like any other vegetable! Prepared this way, it's a fantastic starch side dish to a balanced meal. Keep it classic with sea salt and pepper, or have a little fun with the spice combination. Parchment paper is preferred to aluminum foil and lends itself to a crisper fry and minimizes our exposure to aluminum.

Blueberry Beet Smoothie

Ridiculously rich in antioxidants, vibrant, tangy, and gingery, this smoothie has all the good stuff. It'll hit the spot just right on a hot, summer mid-morning or afternoon when you want to cool off and stay light. Add a splash more of orange juice or your favorite kombucha to thin it out if it's too thick.

Homemade Nut Butter Milk

Once you see how incredibly easy it is to make your own homemade nut milk, you may never go back to the store-bought boxed milks again! The pre-packaged milks on the shelves are mostly water and have unnecessary, added ingredients like carrageenan, sugar, natural flavors, and others to make them last longer on the shelf.

All you really need is nut butter and water. That's it. The nutrient density is higher and the flavor is richer. So as long as you have almond, cashew, or other nut butters on hand, you always have a simple, homemade nut milk 5 minutes away.
