Healthy and Delicious Pudding

Recipe by Lois Breneman

Super smooth and creamy pudding, 

and I don't know how, but it tastes like chocolate to me!

No sugar, grain, gluten, eggs, or dairy!

Ingredients:

1/2 cup coconut milk (approximately)
12 frozen dark sweet cherries (I used Private Selection)
1 avocado, seeded and spooned out of the shell
2 Tbsp. almond butter
Stevia to taste

2 Tbsp. Collagen Protein from Pasture Raised Cows - Dr. Axe (optional)

Directions:
Put all ingredients into a Nutra Bullet or blender and blend until smooth.  If too thick, add a little more milk.
Delicious!!!

For this dessert, today I added a few frozen cherries to the top, along with sliced toasted almonds, and a sprinkle of cacao nibs.  So good!

How to Make Vegetable Stock Concentrate

Reboot With JoeBlogRecipes

By: Claire Georgiou, Reboot Naturopath, B.HSc ND

Well this is an exciting addition to my freezer and fridge! In the past I have used herbamare (herbed natural sea salt) and a natural additive free organic stock to flavor my meals, but this is a great easy and delicious alternative that not only adds GREAT flavor to all my healthy homemade savory dishes but it also adds electrolytes and other nutrients. This is a far cry from using your average packaged stock powders and liquids. I normally encourage people to read the ingredients of all their food including their stock to see what you’re really putting into your body.

When using it, you can add one to two tablespoons for every 2 cups (500 mls) or it is equivalent to 1 stock cube or 1 tsp. of powder. The beauty of making your own stock means you can use any old vegetable that’s lying around in the fridge that needs using up. Here is a basic recipe to follow and you can simply add or delete what you like. This keeps in the fridge for up to 6 weeks in an air-tight jar and it also freezes well. You can also use ½ tsp. in hot water while Rebooting as a broth substitute in-between your juices! Enjoy!

• 4 celery sticks
• 2 carrots
• 1 zucchini (courgette)
