Amla comes from the Sanskrit word, Amalaki. It’s the Indian Gooseberry – a beautiful, tart fruit that’s famous for its polyphenols and vitamin C. Dried organic amla gives a tangy, slightly earthy depth to this refreshing, nutritious tea. Cinnamon, ginger and cardamom bring warmth, and cane or rock sugar adds mellow sweetness that complements amla’s naturally tart edge. Can also be enjoyed hot!

Grilled Curry Burgers with Mango Raisin Chutney
Tender juicy curry burgers! We’ve opted for ground beef, but turkey and lamb are good, too! The yogurt helps keeps the burgers moist, and the the mango raisin chutney really adds to the unique flavors! There’s no need for a bun if you’re grain-free; these are great on their own, or “sandwiched” between lettuce leaves. Enjoy with a leafy green garden salad or a side of favorite slaw. Makes 4 burgers.
Simple Paneer Vegetable Pizza with Italian Ghee
This is an easy-to-make vegetarian pizza flavored with assorted pizza-loving veggies and our signature Italian Ghee (infused with rosemary, thyme and oregano). Paneer makes a great addition to pizza; it not only adds great flavor and good nutrition; it holds its shape beautifully!
Red-Skinned Mashed Potatoes with Garlic Ghee
What a combo! Red skinned potatoes and garlic ghee – so delicious! You can make a meal off of these with a side of salad and/or green vegetables, or add some protein of choice – chicken, salmon, beef, or pork chops. Either way, you’ll love these yummy taters!
Ghee Roasted Chickpeas
These make a great snack or a fun addition to a meal. Try them over pizza, stuffed into pita, or served over rice or quinoa with a side of veggies.
Cardamom-Scented Fresh Orange Sherbet
Creamy, cool and luscious! You’ll love this orange summer treat. For a non-dairy version, full-fat coconut milk can used in place of half and half or milk. Try this great recipe sprinkled with raw cacao nibs, frozen raspberries, dried coconut flakes, or any options of choice.
Banana Spice Cake with Spelt Flour
This cake is good anytime of the year – warm at Christmas, and chilled for a summer treat. For the best and freshest flavor, the bananas should not be overly ripe. A nice yellow color with no, or just a few, darker spots is just right.
Leafy Green Salad with Vegan Ranch
For variety and good nutrition, choose an assortment of leafy lettuce greens. Add herbs such as chives, parsley, basil or mint, if desired. Red radish adds flavor and color and they’re easy to find. However, add any exotic radishes (purple, daikon, watermelon, etc.) if you find them.
Vegan Ranch Dressing
This is a plant-based, non-dairy take on a traditional favorite. We’ve opted for plain coconut milk yogurt mixed with vegan mayonnaise made with avocado oil. Feel free to add fresh herbs and skip the dried if preferred. If you’ve got some on hand, the vegan Worcestershire sauce adds a nice little burst of flavor! Use this dressing on leafy green salads, drizzled over tomato slices, and as a dip for sweet potato fries and onion rings.
