Cauliflower Chickpea Patties

This recipe is a meal prep option to have in your arsenal. The chickpea patties, once cooked, freeze very well. This makes for a very quick weeknight dinner. The patties pair well with a dollop of yogurt mixed with feta and a fresh-herb packed salad.

The reason it works well for this program is because it’s quick to reheat once cooked and it’s loaded with anti-inflammatory properties from the turmeric. The curcumin in turmeric, which is the active constituent that makes turmeric yellow, is precisely what benefits brain health. In countries that consume large quantities in their traditional diet, like India, have shown to have better mental health performance and Alzheimers is quite low.

This recipe is also a power-house of nutrient dense foods:

Cauliflower is a from the brassica family, high in sulfur, great for hormone balance and liver support.

Flax seeds are high in fibre, omega 3 fats (particularly with a near ideal omega 3, 6, 9 ratio). Great bowel health and the fats feed the brain and nervous system (which is covered in a myelin sheet of fat).

Watercress is considered a powerful detox herb that can help heavy metals leave the body because it acts as a chelator. Also highly alkaline.

Turmeric is anti-inflammatory

Red Peppers are higher in vitamin c than oranges, an important nutrient in adrenal health

Pumpkin Seeds are a top stress less food as they’re high in magnesium and zinc. Top nutrients for adrenal health.

Golden Milk Latte

Golden Milk is considered a digestive elixir in Ayurvedic medicine. If you haven’t heard of Ayurveda, it’s traditional Indian medicine that dates back to as long ago as traditional Chinese medicine. That’s some ancient wisdom!

The main elements of golden milk are: milk, which is revered in Ayurvedic medicine for its health properties, turmeric to fight inflammation and calm the system, warming spices like ginger to ignite the digestive fire in your belly (called agni) and some fat, usually ghee (clarified butter) which supports the nervous system (all 37 miles of it is wrapped in a fatty myelin sheath).

Golden milk is an important part of the Flowly program because turmeric is calming to the nervous system. The active component is curcumin, which has been shown to increase serotonin and dopamine and studied for treatment of anxiety and depression. The fats in this drink provide strength to the nervous system which is covered in a fatty layer called the myelin sheath.

This is a warm, curative cup of yellow hugs. Highly recommended on especially full-on days.

Golden Bone Broth Latte

All the healing benefits of golden milk, with the added nutrients of bone broth. Your gut will love you!

Happy Balls

A big part of the Flowly program is planning ahead and expecting that cravings may come up. In which case, you’ll be ready with these quick energy balls. With very few ingredients, you can whip these up once a week for snacks on the go. They also freeze really well.

They’re full of fat, fibre and protein to keep you satiated between meals. Much more so than a fruit that can go right through you, and you’re hungry again in 20 minutes.

Happy snacking.
