Bulletproof Turmeric Latte with essential oils

bulletproof turmeric latte with essential oils - www.mywholefoodfamily.com

It's been almost 5 years since I regularly drank coffee. 

Having to quit dairy while I was breastfeeding because of my son's reflux put a stop to that!

These days I'm OBSESSED with turmeric lattes.

So when doTERRA released their brand new Turmeric essential oil in September I couldn't wait to put it to the test in my latte.

And you guys it's SO GOOD!

Not bright yellow like normal turmeric but all the flavour and benefits.

Bulletproof Turmeric Latte

1 cup coconut milk
1 tbs collagen powder
1/2 ts vanilla extract
1/2-1ts xylitol (or sweetener of choice)
1 tbs coconut oil master blend
1-2 drops Turmeric essential oil

To make the master blend - add 1/3 cup liquid coconut oil to a jar and add Cinnamon, Ginger and Wild Orange essential oils. Stir well. Use 1tbs of this mixture per drink.

To make the latte - Warm the milk, collagen, vanilla and xylitol together (I do 3 mins / 60 degrees / SP 2 in the Thermomix but in a pot on the stove is fine). 


Add the oils, blend (10 secs / SP 8) and enjoy! 

I add a little fresh nutmeg on top too.

If you don't have Turmeric yet you can make my chai latte master blend with 2 drops each Cinnamon, Ginger, Cardamom and Black Pepper oils in 1/3 cup coconut oil.


I only use and recommend doTERRA essential oils. See why here!

Ham, Veg and Egg Slice

ham vegetable and egg slice - frittata - quiche - www.mywholefoodfamily.com

We've reached the point of the year where I'm a bit over cooking to be completely honest!

Dinner needs to be on the table every night and it's got to be quick, easy and relatively nutritious.

This is so simple it's barely a recipe but it's something I make really often. 

Either for a quick dinner using up leftover veggies. 

Or I'll make it on a Sunday so I've got my own lunch sorted for the week.

Use whatever cooked veggies you have on hand. Throw in some herbs. Use ham, bacon, tinned salmon or leftover chicken or sausages. 

Ham, Veg and Egg Slice

3-4 cups worth of leftover steamed veggies (I had potato and broccoli)
A few slices of ham, chopped
8 eggs
1/3 cup milk of your choice
splash of extra virgin olive oil
A handful of nutritional yeast flakes
Salt and pepper to taste
Optional - a drop of Basil or Cilantro essential oils

Preheat oven to 180 degrees and lightly grease a baking dish.

Roughly chop the veggies and layer into the baking dish. Add the ham.

In a medium jug whisk together the eggs, milk, oil, salt and pepper.

Pour over the veggies and sprinkle the yeast flakes over the top.

Bake for approx 40 minutes or until set and golden brown.

Serve hot, warm or cold. 


Delicious!

How would this go for dinner at your place? xx
