I’m always trying to reinvent a healthy version of my old fashioned favorite sweet and savory treats.
With that being said, I often found myself buying into pre-made treats at the store and being disappointed with how I felt afterwards, not only physically from digestion issues but also mentally foggy, lethargic and just not myself.
It’s hard to find healthy alternatives. If you find a product close to it and think you’re winning with that, I usually find there’s something else in it that they added that was unnecessary.
So now what? Am I suppose to give up my favorite guilty pleasures because I don’t want to sacrifice my mental and physical health?!
No! So I figured out what I like and I’ve gone back to nature's source and recreated the version with out all of the weird stuff! AND I’ve been able to elevate these recipes even further by using Sun Potion's adaptogenic powders that not only get incorporated into your daily routine for added health benefits, but also add a nice nuttiness and fluffy texture to the mix. With this recipe, you’re enjoying your sweet treats while targeting brain cognitive function with Lion's Mane and helping to balance your cortisol levels with Mucuna Pruriens uplifting blissful effects. How does that sound for a guilt-free, stress-free brain boosting snack?! I also add Sun Potion Tocos to everything because it really does add the perfect smooth texture to drinks, dressings and baked goods, while getting a beauty boost from the high Vitamin E property Tocos contains.
Here’s how to make your Mindful (Lion's Mane) Medicinal (Mucuna Pruriens) Banana Muffins!
