Golden Milk Latte

This creamy golden milk latte is both delicious and soothing. A wonderful anti-inflammatory choice that will support proper digestive function. A great mid-afternoon treat!

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.

Dark Chocolate and Nuts

This recipe is sure to satisfy anyone’s chocolate craving! Made with only 3 ingredients, in under 2 minutes. This grounding snack is satisfying, full of protein, healthy fat and antioxidants. All with the added bonus of a nutty texture and delightful creaminess from the nut butter.

This cheeky little chocolate snack was created in an effort to make a snickers bar at home. It has the chocolate. The crunch from the nuts. And the ooey smoothness from the nut butter. Topped with flaky salt and your brain will think you’re eating a snickers bar, trust us.

Side note on peanut butter: peanuts have been shown to be high in mycotoxins (aka mold). This can exasperate symptoms of anxiety, and lower the immune system. If you’re sensitive, it’s best to stick with almond butter.

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.

Sweet Potato Chocolate Cake

Guilt free and delicious. Sure to be a family favourite, this delectable chocolate cake is gluten free, paleo and free of refined sugar! What more could you ask for?! This cake has definitely been waiting for you!

You can call it a brownie, you can call it a cake. But one thing it certainly is, a solid recipe. We’ve been baking this up for years and it’s very forgiving and easy. We love it because it’s moist, decadent, fudgey and tastes indulgent. But in fact it’s effortlessly gluten free without having to use a weird dry sub-par GF flour (like rice flour 🤢).

Make this for that GF sceptic in your life. Don’t tell them at first, watch their eyes light up as they take a bite, then bask in the glory as you tell the…it’s GLUTEN FREE!

We love it for all the vitamin A beta carotene and fibre from that sweet potato, the iron and magnesium from the cocoa, plus the grounding effects that cocoa brings. Sweetened with honey, you can’t go wrong.
