Maple & Ghee Banana-Oatmeal Bread
This delicious bread is not overly sweet. We’ve made it with original ghee, but feel free to experiment with Chai-Spice, Indian-Dessert, or Digestive Ghee. Great for breakfast with coffee, tea, or chai, eggs or a smoothie, or as a snack topped with nut butter or cream cheese.
Natto Potato Salad with Tangy-Tamarind Dressing
This unique potato salad comes in response to customer requests for using our freeze-dried natto and tamarind paste in recipes. We thought it would be a great idea to subdue the texture and mellow the flavor of the natto into some favorite dishes while turning up the pizazz at the same time with tamarind paste. For those who are hesitant about the texture and flavor of natto, but want the gut-health benefits, this salad would be a great start! Remember to prepare the natto ahead of time as instructed on the package. Although we did not peel the potatoes, feel free to do so once cooked and cooled enough to handle. The peel should slip off easily.
Avocado, Tomato, and Natto Salad
In Japan, natto is a daily staple, contributing greatly to the health and longevity of the Japanese people. However, for most Westerners, it’s an acquired taste that many never achieve. With the right recipe, however, natto can become a delicious ingredient as its flavor and texture melds beautifully with the other ingredients in the recipe. This salad is a flavorful, excellent way to get the HEALTHY GUT benefits of this traditional Japanese favorite. Try this salad as a side dish to a main meal, or with buttered, sourdough bread or served over hot rice.

Anjeer-Kefir Smoothie with Dates and Raw Honey
In India, figs are called “Anjeer”. They are often enjoyed in a lassi, or for a snack, or dessert.

This recipe makes enough for one person but can be doubled, tripled, etc.
Quinoa Kitchari
Kitchari is India’s most beloved comfort food; it’s also an important food for healing and supporting good digestion. While traditionally made with basmati rice, it can also be made with other grains. This hearty, delicious kitchari is made with sprouted quinoa, but regular quinoa will do fine.

Adding medicinal ghee increases the effectiveness and potency of the herb, carrying it deeper into the body. Feel free to adjust the spices as desired.
Darjeeling Green Tea Latte
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.
