We love balancing the natural caffeine bump in our latte with herbs that support your adrenals, and healthy fats that support your hormones and brain function. 

Our preferred method for brewing coffee is the French Press method. From start to finish, it takes less then five minutes!

Living Waters Margarita

Inspired by one of the original drinks from the Erewhon Tonic Bar, this is a live probiotic, hydrating and alkalizing drink that is our go-to for recovery whenever we are arrive back home after flying and traveling. It is also a great thing to reach for after a hard workout! 

This recipe will make enough for 2-4 people, however, even if you are enjoying it by yourself, know that it will keep well in the refrigerator for at least 3-4 days. If you are purchasing coconut water kefir, it will usually be packaged in a 16 ounce bottle, so to save time and money, we based the proportions around one full bottle. Because this is a live fermentation, be sure to seal it in a jar or container with an airtight lid. Remember... Your margarita is alive! Pressure can build up in the bottle, so open it carefully over your sink. Always open coconut water kefir bottles the same way! 

Gather Up

3 cups (420g) Ice
1½ cups (370ml) Water
2 cups (250ml) Coconut Water Kefir
½ cup (120ml) Lemon Juice
1 TB Lemon Rind
2 tsp Fresh Grated Ginger or 1 TB Ginger Juice
½ cup (120ml) Coconut Milk
1 TB Styrian Pumpkin Seed Oil
¼  tsp Vanilla Stevia (or more to taste)
¼  tsp Sea Salt 

Jing It Up (options)

½ tsp ChlorOxygen
¼ cup (60ml) Aloe Juice/ fresh Aloe Gel
¼ cup (30g) Vanilla Whey Protein or Vegan Protein
¼ cup (30g) Collagen Powder
2 tsp Pearl Powder

Toss all ingredients into a high performance blender and blend well. Know that this drink will expand, so do not overfill your blender. Better to blend in batches, in equal halves. 

Miso Yin Soup

Yin is the energetic principle of rest, repair, recovery and rejuvenation. This SuperFood Blender Soup is perfect for winding down at the end of your day and preparing you for the most Yin thing you do... sleep.  Kelp is an amazing Yin food. We pair kelp granules from the company Maine Coast in this recipe with several other nutritives and tonic herbs that enhance relaxation to help you fall asleep, and provide the nourishment for a deep, rejuvenative sleep. 

The organic, non-GMO, 2-3 year fermented “Hacho Miso” from Eden Foods is the only appearance of soybean in any form in this book. This miso is a nutritious, probiotic, grounding food, which is fermented in a 650-year old traditional manner using bamboo barrels.

SugaVida takes the flavor of this soup through the roof, while its array of B Vitamins provide the building blocks for a deep night’s sleep. Our favorite Ionic Magnesium, from Mineralife, is an amazing Jing It Up option. Magnesium before bed helps you sleep like a rock, and will help with testosterone production in the morning, especially for men. Add collagen protein, Sea Tangle Kelp Noodles, Miracle Noodles, or our Sweet Potato Naan (pictured left, see page 192) if you wish to make this soup even more hearty.

Sleeping BeauTea

Want to biohack your sleep? Combining nutraceuticals, minerals and Chinese & Ayurvedic Tonic Herbs, this is our ultimate herbal sleep tea! 

Awaken the Shen is calming and heart opening, while pearl powder is soothing and grounding. L-theanine is a GABA precursor, your neurotransmitter for relaxation. Ashwagandha can help to regulate sleep patterns, and also influences GABA pathways.  Bupleurum & Dragon Bone is a Vegan option to replace the pearl powder, it is a classic Chinese herbal formula that helps to relieve stress by relieving liver stagnation and is also used to help curb addiction. 5-HTP is a precursor to melatonin, the neurotransmitter of the sleep cycle. Magnesium, the mineral of calmness, adds another layer of deep sleep and rejuvenation, while SugaVida provides crucial micronutrients. 

Want to take it one step further? Use the adaptogenic herb Gynostemma for your tea base in Spring Dragon Tea. Let the stress of the day roll off your back, and may deep, delta, stage 4 sleep be your new best friend.

Place all ingredients in your blender, adding your hot liquid last. Cover the lid with a towel, making sure the lid is vented. Hold the lid down tightly. Blend on the lowest setting, gradually ramping it up to a high speed and blending well, for 30 seconds.
