I have been battling a cold for a week and rebuilding my immune system for another. Lots of fresh vegetables, fruits, water and lean protein has been the formula. Not to mention the nutrient rich vitamins found in a superfood bar that I have been eating. Healthy foods heal your body, so don't just depend on drugs to fix your body.
Anyway, I am an occasional coffee drinker. I usually use non-dairy creamer, however, I am now against it! There are a number of people who are lactose intolerant, so I have 3 tips for tasty, dairy-free and natural cream coffee:
1. Flavor your coffeee by adding a drop of extract to your ground coffee before brewing
2. Substitute almond milk, rice milk or even soy for that non-dairy fix
3. Make your own flavored cream by mixing 1 cup of half and half, 1 teaspoon of your favorite extract and 3 teaspoons of organic brown or white sugar (sugar is of course optional)
Remember that fake foods and additives that taste like a food item but is not, are oft times not the best choices. Our bodies are made to metabolize natural foods. Processed foods and or substitutes may be lower in fat and calories, but they confuse the body. Don't make it so complicated, it's just food. Keep it fresh, keep it simple and keep it natural.
We are on a mission to build healthy relationships between children and their food. Parents and children can build a strong alliance against childhood obesity by cooking together. Get cooking, LunchBox style!
