Butterfly Cashew Latte

Butterfly Cashew Latte

by | Feb 6, 2023 | All Recipes, Drinks

These antioxidant-rich lattes, complete with frothy vanilla cashew milk are a delicious and healthy vision in blue.

For the tea:

2 teaspoons butterfly pea tea (I love using Sol Remedies “Blue Hawaii” tea)

4 cups of boiling water

Make a pot of butterfly pea tea. The longer you allow the tea to steep, the deeper the blue color. 

For the cashew milk:

2 cups water

1/2 cup raw cashews

2 pitted dates

1/2 teaspoon pure vanilla extract

Make cashew milk by placing the cashews in a bowl and covering them with boiling water and allowing them to soak for about 5 minutes. Drain and rinse and place in a blender with the water, dates, and vanilla. Blend until smooth.

Once the tea is ready fill each mug ⅔ of the way full with tea. Froth the cashew milk with a hand frother, a blender, or with a hand whisk, and then pour the frothy cashew milk into each mug to top it up.

Makes 3 lattes

Mountain Yam Tacos

Mountain Yam Tacos

by | Feb 5, 2023 | All Recipes, Mains

Mountain yams grow very well in Hawaii. They can seem a bit slimy when first cut into but they cook up beautifully and have the texture of something between a white potato and a sweet potato, so don’t let the slime stop you! The combination of ginger and lime gives this taco filling a beautiful flavor. 

 1 large mountain yam (or large sweet potatoes), peeled and chopped into small cubes
1 cup sliced mushrooms
1 cup chopped kale
2 cloves garlic, minced
½ yellow onion, diced
1 tablespoon coconut oil
1 teaspoon chili powder
1 teaspoon sea salt
½ teaspoon powdered ginger
½ teaspoon smoked paprika
¼ teaspoon black pepper
1 cup water
Juice of one lime
8 corn tortillas
1 avocado, sliced
1 cup vegan sour cream
1 cup salsa
1/4 chopped cilantro to garnish

Heat a large skillet over medium-high heat and add coconut oil. Once the oil is hot add yam cubes, mushrooms, kale, garlic, and onion. Add the chili powder, salt, ginger, smoked paprika, and black pepper. Cook for about 8 minutes or until the yam begins to brown, turning occasionally. Add water and cover with a lid, reducing heat to low-medium. Allow to cook for another 15 minutes or until the yam is soft when pierced with a fork. Stir in lime juice an

Chocolate Turmeric Butter Cups

Chocolate Turmeric Butter Cups

by | Dec 19, 2022 | All Recipes, Dessert

Reimagined peanut butter cups using almond butter, fresh turmeric, and handmade chocolate that skips the dairy and refined sugar. Feel good enjoying these anti-inflammatory treats.

Turmeric Inside layer:

 1 tablespoon fresh turmeric, finely grated

½ cup almond butter

1 tablespoon maple syrup

1 tablespoon oat flour

⅛ teaspoon sea salt

⅛ teaspoon black pepper

To make the inside layer mix the above ingredients together in a small bowl until you have a golden paste. Place 9 muffin papers into a muffin tin and add about 1 tablespoon of paste in each muffin tin paper, pressing to make a thick layer that looks like a disc at the bottom of each cup. Place muffin tin in the freezer for about 1 hour or until discs are firm. 

Once the inside layer is firm (it won’t be solid, just firm enough to handle) remove from the muffin tin paper and set on a place or cutting board as you prepare the chocolate. Keep the muffin tin papers in the tin for the next step.

Chocolate top and bottom layer:

½ cup coconut oil*

¼ cup cocoa or cacao powder

¼ cup almond butter

3 tablespoons maple syrup

¼ teaspoon pure vanilla extract

⅛ teaspoon sea salt

To prepare the chocolate, warm the coconut oil in a small saucepan until just melted. Remove saucepan from heat and stir in remaining ingredients until smooth (a small whisk works well). Pour a small amount of the liquid chocolate into each of the muffin papers in the muffin tin. You want a thin bottom layer of chocolate. Next, place a firm turmeric center layer inside each cup and add chocolate to top, completing your cups. 

Place in the freezer to set for 30 minutes. Serve from the freezer, do not allow them to thaw as these chocolates will melt fairly quickly at room temperature. 

Makes 9 chocolate turmeric cups.

*choosing refined coconut oil is best for this recipe, it has had the scent and taste of coconut removed making it more neutral.
