Body-Boost Ashwagandha Moon Milk

July 14, 2023 by Alana Sugar, Certified Nutritionist 3 Comments

Moon Milk is a soothing, delicious milk-based hot beverage that has its roots in the healing tradition of Ayurveda. It’s useful for deep relaxation and sound rest, and is often taken at bed-time to calm stress and anxiety. In this recipe, we add Ashwagandha Ghee which is used in Ayurveda to support a healthy immune system. Feel free to adjust the spices as desired.

Darjeeling Green Tea Latte

March 28, 2023 by Alana Sugar, Certified Nutritionist 2 Comments

This is a simple, wonderful tea that can be made with your choice of milk, however, the richer the milk (or nut milk) the creamier and more delicious the tea. If you enjoy dairy products, try this recipe with 6 Tbsp whole milk and 2 Tbsp cream in place of half cup (8 Tbsp) milk. The tea is wonderful hot, but can also be enjoyed cold on a hot summer day.

Pear Salad with Roasted Walnuts and Mango-Primal Dressing

February 3, 2023 by Alana Sugar, Certified Nutritionist 1 Comment

Enjoy this salad all year long by going with the seasons. For example, in summer, consider using peaches and sunflower seeds in place of pears and walnuts which are better suited for fall and winter. This should yield 4 servings.

Popcorn on Stove

June 24, 2021 by Pure Indian Foods Leave a Comment

Popcorn is America’s favorite snack and it takes only minutes to make. Making popcorn in the microwave is easy but may not good for you.
