]]> After becoming aware that I’ve been dealing with inflammation (most likely prolonged – and most likely I’m not alone in this 🙃) I started doing research about ways to combat it with food. Being someone who appreciates all-in-one approaches where possible, this smoothie has become a morning staple for me. It’s easily tweaked based on your caloric needs and/or taste preferences. Several of these ingredients are considered super foods and very good for gut health, inflammation and overall longevity. I’m not a health expert, but I am a student. And this is one lesson l’m learning and wanted to share. Cheers! 😊

Anti-Inflammatory Berry Smoothie

Prep Time 5 minutes
Author Meredith Bernard

Equipment

Ingredients

  • 1 cup Frozen Blueberries (or Berry Mix)
  • 1 scoop Beet Root Powder
  • 1 scoop Turmeric Curcumin
  • 1/4 cup Oat Bran (or regular oats) I add oat bran for blood sugar purposes. More digestible and less calories than regular oats
  • 1/2 – 1 scoop Protein Powder I prefer 1st Phorm Level-1 (Blueberry or Vanilla) This is the best protein powder I've found and I've tried a bunch of them. Taste is exceptional.
  • 1 tbsp seeds of choice (I use flax or chia – chia has more fiber) See equipment for link to flax seed grinder – also great for other seeds or coffee beans
  • 0.5 ounce Frozen Beef Liver (optional) I use our homegrown beef liver. It's a true superfood. You can also take beef liver capsules if you don't want to eat raw liver, but I promise you can't taste it this way!
  • 1 cup spinach
  • 1/2 – 1 cup Milk or Water I prefer Fairlife Fat Free – could also use unsweetened almond milk for lower calories

]]> I’m not a big casserole person, but sometimes a good casserole just fits the bill. I knew this year I wanted something easy, yummy and filling for Christmas morning – that didn’t require me spending an hour in the kitchen in-between the fury of kids unwrapping presents and going to feed livestock. I knew I wanted a Breakfast Sausage Casserole, and what I made ended up being the perfect concoction. So perfect, in fact, my husband said, “Make sure you write this down, it’s the best you’ve ever made.” (Never mind it’s only the second I’ve ever made.) So here you go. Easy. Yummy. Filling. And I dare say would be good for any morning or special occasion or even weeknight for that matter. Just make it. And enjoy. The end.
