Dr. Carol's Cold Brew Matcha
I love my green tea in the morning. Most of the time it is a hot cup of Japanese Sencha green tea but a few times a week I will make a matcha green tea that is a little amplified. In the summer I will tweak it and make it iced!
MCT (medium chain triglyceride) oil is a healthy fat that is metabolized quickly and fuels the brain promoting mental clarity and focus. It helps make the matcha creamy just like the collagen.

1 scoop of matcha green tea powder
1/2 scoop MCT oil powder (I use Perfect Keto)
1/2 scoop Vital Proteins Collagen
a couple of ice cubes
filtered water
splash of cashew/coconut/oat/almond milk
Shake, shake, shake and enjoy!

Ontario apple time! The cooler temperatures in the Autumn beg for warm and cozy foods and applesauce hits the spot. This recipe makes around 2-3 cups of applesauce.
Cacao Evening Reishi Tonic
Cacao contains serotonin and tryptophan, which boost mood and reishi calms the mind, promotes sleep, and soothes anxiety as it modulates cortisol levels.
Gluten Free Gingerbread Cookies
This cookie recipe is one I bake with my family every year leading up to Christmas. It is the main cookie the kids leave out for Santa. They don't fall apart and are easy to decorate.
