ADAPTOGENIC IMMUNE-BOOSTING SOUP

Angelique Booyens has created a soup “packed with nourishing, warming ingredients like turmeric, ginger, sun-dried tomatoes and the additional goodness of adaptogens."

ICED COCONUT CHAGA LATTE

COOKIES N' CREAM CHIA PUDDING PARFAIT

Inspired by the healing effects of creativity, Filmmaker Cathryn Fowler shares a (bake-free) cookie recipe which she beautifully layers with chia pudding for a dessert to activate and rejuvenate our mind, body and spirit. By including adaptogens like Pine Pollen, which help balance out the potential higher amounts of xenoestrogens ("foreign" estrogens) in the system, Cathryn has created a parfait that is both medicinal and joy-inspiring!

ADAPTOGENIC CINNAMON DONUTS!

Nutritionist and GAPS (Gut and Psychology Syndrome) Practitioner Jordan Pie shares an adaptogenic donut recipe with us, inspired by her motto, "just because the ingredients change, doesn't mean the menu has to." In this delicious (sugar-free grain-free) recipe Jordan adds collagen and Ashwagandha - truly bringing these donuts to the next level!  

CHIA PUDDING WITH CHOCOLATE PANNA COTTA

Sheridan Austin is a lover of panna cotta but wanted to make a version sans refined sugar and with the addition of  Omega-3 and fiber rich chia seeds and Lion's Mane, a medicinal mushroom currently being studied for its neuro-protective, memory enhancing properties...  we are drooling over this healthy yet decadent brain food!

COLIN HUDON / CREATOR OF LIVING TEA

"Every morning is an ecstatic tea moment for me. There is, however, a certain indescribable magic that happens when people come together and drop-in together over a beautiful tea. Everything becomes illuminated and glimmers, the senses sharpen, the moment opens, we feel our connectedness and the sacredness of Life." - Colin Hudon Founder of Living Tea, Herbalist, Acupuncturist, and practitioner of Traditional Chinese Medicine 

EDIBLE BEAUTY: MY MORNING MATCHA

UPGRADED AVOCADO TOAST

"If you enjoy foods that nourish your gut, hormones, and brain, you’ll be more likely to feel good. And from that place of feeling good, be able to work on changing your perception, what you’ve been conditioned to see." Cathryn Fowler  has created an adaptogenic take on Avocado Toast -  upgraded with our chlorella and a medicinal mushroom nut butter - to make you feel amazing.  Watch her recipe and read more on her food philosophy below...
