Ingredient Highlights
Just 1/2 teaspoon of cinnamon daily can have positive effects on blood sugar levels, digestion, immunity, and more.
Unsweetened shredded coconut is a healthier choice than sweetened. It often contains fewer preservatives and usually isn’t treated with sulfites to keep it white.
Dates are a healthy way to add sweetness to your recipes along with a variety of nutrients, including iron, potassium, B vitamins, copper, and magnesium.
Flaxseeds are an excellent plant source of both soluble and insoluble fiber that helps soothe the digestive tract and remove waste excreted by the liver from the body.
Ginger is a potent aromatic herb and a good natural source of vitamin C, magnesium, potassium, copper, and manganese. It has been used for thousands of years in Asia to treat stomach ache, diarrhea, and nausea.
Nut milks are a form of non-dairy milk made from nuts soaked in water and blended into a creamy beverage. Some popular nut milks on the market include almond, macadamia, cashew, walnut, pistachio, and hazelnut.
Oats are technically gluten-free because they aren’t a type of wheat, barley, or rye grain. However, if you have celiac or a significant gluten sensitivity, look for oats that are certified gluten-free to ensure no cross-contamination.
With the Organixx Clean Sourced Collagens in this recipe, you not only get 5 different types of collagen, but also camu camu, acerola cherry, horsetail extract (silica), and zinc gluconate to ensure your body can actually USE the collagen you’re taking.
Pineapple is a tropical favorite that serves as an ample source of a special enzyme called bromelain, which can support GI health and the immune system.
Walnuts have been found to reduce the risk of cancer and diabetes, and may help lower inflammation throughout the body.
Hi L! This is one of my favorite recipes thus far - especially with coconut cream on the top. Enjoy!
Thank you. I am going to make this delicious recipe tomorrow. I am going to substitute with mango and chia seeds.
