Healing Spices #foodiefriday

Hey you guys, I thought I'd continue with yesterdays theme~ Today I'll do a post on how to incorporate spices into your diet that fight inflammation and tons more. Some you may know but I think some will surprise you~:)

1. This is one you may now but turmeric/curcumin. Turmeric has NUMEROUS studies showing it's healing benefits for cancer-, and reducing inflammation which is SO important.
Ways to use it: Great on Avocado Toast, On fish, Stir Fries, Salads
*You can also take it in pill from, if you suffering from any kind of inflammation related illness I definitely recommend it.                                           

If your interested in purchasing turmeric here are two links:
Here is the powder form.
Here is the pill form.

(Also it's $5 off $25 I believe:)

2. The second is SUPER popular, but cinnamon. Cinnamon not only tastes amazing but is great for balancing blood sugar. You don't need to have hypo/hyperglycemia to have blood sugar issues. A lot of cravings and mindless eating comes from low blood sugar. With stable blood sugar you will find you are much more mindful when you eat. It is also said to boost metabolism, but I have not found any valid science on that. You get a lot more benefits when you buy high quality cinnamon like the one below but definitely that's not the only one or anything!:)
It is so much cheaper to buy it in bulk(cuz I Know a lot of ya'll use a lot of cinnamon:)

3. The last one I will share for today is ginger root. Ginger is SO healing to the GI tract and helps reduce bloating. So if you are having issues when you eat then definitely try adding some high quality ginger root on your food.

Super good uses: In baking, Salads, Stir Fries, Juices, Smoothies

I'll definitely do a second post on this, because these are super helpful little tricks and I have other tricks to get these in your diet that I don't have time for today! Ps. You definitely don't have to use my links I just add them cuz it's some of the cheapest(with $0 shipping and cupon) that I have found or I like the quality/brand:)

Have a great day and how do you like to use the above spices:)???

Food is Medicine...Foods with cool nutrients...

Here are some foods with cool properities... Food really is medicine and I'll show you that here!!!
                                     

1. Pineapple... An amazing fruit... I LOVE pineapple. Did you know pineapple has an enzyme in it called bromelien that helps you digest protein. If you are on a high protein diet or just feel bloated try adding some pineapple in your day see if it helps.
Tip: If it hurts your mouth try blending it!
Ways to use it: In smoothies with greens, coconut, banana. In salads with some nuts and seeds. On its own. With a couple tablespoons of coconut oil or butter.

                                                  

2. Cilantro... Is great for detoxing heavy metals.  Which is so cool you feel cleaner inside when you regularly add fresh herbs to your diet. Also, it helps your skin, bonus!
Ways to use it: Guacamole!!!, Salad, Green Smoothies, Juices, Wraps

                                              

3. Coconut.... Has something called MCT's which is Medium Chain Triglycerides which help metabolism. Coconut also is not digested like most fats, science is starting to show it digests more like a carb.
Ways to use it: Coconut butter with fruit, Coconut oil can really go on Anything (I prefer butter or shreds for fiber and closer to whole food), Shreds as a cereal or on fruit or cereal, Coconut water after exercise...Great electrolytes.

                                                           

Here are three if you like this I'll do more later!
Do you use any of these foods?
Have a great day!!!

Cheesy Vegan Cinnamon Bean Dip. #strangebutreallygood

Here is an awesome recipe. Great post workout. High protein: Feed muscles. Filling: So you don't binge cuz your starving after leg day. Love this so much.

Cheesy Cinnamon Bean Dip:
-1c Beans. (Fiber, Resistant Starch, Protein)
-1/4-1/2c Nutritional Yeast (B12, Protein)
-Cinnamon (just a dash or it will be weird tasting) (Blood Sugar Balance)
-Flax Seeds (Digestion, Omega 3's) (If you are using this recipe after lifting just use a little flax cuz you don't want to much fat in your post workout meal so that can be changed:) ~Also I linked it to sprouted flax cuz that's easier to digest but you can use regular~
-Opts: Stevia or Almond Milk.

Mash all together. If you like it sweeter add the stevia and almond milk. If you want it cheesier add nutritional yeast.
It's so good. I served mine with romaine hearts and rolled them up like tacos, but if you want something even more filling can serve with ezekial bread, pita, corn tortilla chips, etc. :)

If you need the ingredients Pure Forumals has them... I just really like this site as you can see lol!:) So cheap! I linked it to the site you can use my cupon code if you want to! Code: RQANXY ($5 off, free shipping on every order no matter price, samples)
