Breakfast Tonic of Champions

A few months ago I stumbled across a folk remedy and holistic cure website.  It totally blew my mind.  I had never heard of Apple Cider Vinegar, or the practice of taking Tumeric, the spice that gives curry its yellow color, on a daily basis.

I now take the following breakfast tonic everyday. 

• 1/2 cup water
• 1 tbsp Organic, Raw Unfiltered Apple Cider Vinegar
• 1 tsp Tumeric
• 1/4 tsp Cayenne Pepper
• 1/4 tsp Cinnamon

The effects…  Morning alertness, increased energy throughout the day, clearer skin.  It really has made a significant improvement to how I look and feel.  Still bald however, it does not trigger hair growth.  I wonder if there is a holistic remedy for that!

Fruit and Oatmeal Scrambles

Banana Oatmeal Scramble

Once a week or so I break down and enjoy some good old fashioned grain-based carbohydrates lol.  Ashley at Edible Perspective provided the inspiration for this recipe.

Ingredients

• 1 Banana, ripe
• 1 Tbsp Organic Raw Almond Butter
• 3 Tbsp Organic Rolled Oats 
• 2 Tbsp Organic Milk alternative (Soy, Almond
• 1/2 tsp vanilla extract
• Dash of raw honey
• 1/4 tsp Cinnamon 
• 1 tsp slivered almonds
• 1 tsp organic butter for greasing the skillet

1. Mix all ingredients except butter together in a bowl, using a fork to mash the banana.  Should look like lumpy pancake mixture.
2. Melt butter in pan over medium heat, medium-low if using high quality stainless steel cookware.  Pour batter in, spreading out to roughly 1/3 inch thick.
3. Cook for ~3 minutes, looking for nice brown bottom but not burnt.  Flip, and cook for another 3 minutes.

Once you have this, you will never go back to regular boring water/milk based oatmeal.  You can use any fruit or nut combination you like.  It will all be delicious.
