Since going Paleo my family has fallen even more in love with our grill. Paleo and grilling just work well together. The past couple of years I've even been stepping outside my grilling comfort zone more and more. Grilling things I'd never thought to have grilled before and trying new flavor combinations. I have to say I'm pretty thrilled with the results of most of my flavor experiments. In the past I'd never have thought to grill fruit, but it's amazing. Grilling fruit and adding it to traditionally savory dishes? Brilliant. Oh yes, and? New rule: every burger recipe for the rest of forever must contain grilled pineapple. OK, maybe more of a guideline. It's a seriously delicious combination though. This Smoky Grilled Pineapple Burger is always a crowd-pleaser at my house. It's not only Paleo, but Whole30, glutenfree, lower carb, and clean eating friendly. I promise you won't miss the bun! paleo, grilled pineapple burger, smoky...
I love turmeric lattes. OK, so I feel a little weird calling anything lacking espresso a latte, but well, everyone else is so I guess I'll just go with it ;)
Turmeric is an amazing anti-inflammatory superfood. Dr. David Perlmutter recommends it in his awesome book Grain Brain (I definitely recommend this book if you haven't read it yet). Also, Dr. Axe has an interesting post on the benefits of turmeric and video on the health benefits of turmeric. Definitely, check those out if you're not quite sold on the many benefits of turmeric!
I am always on the lookout for more ways to add turmeric into my daily diet. I add it to everything from curry, to taco salad, to lattes...
Turmeric lattes are just the perfect way to get more turmeric in your daily diet. They're just so soothing and yummy. Plus, you can get a whopping teaspoon at a time into these puppies. I've been playing around with turmeric latte recipes for a few months and lately this one is hands down my favorite. It is not only paleo, low carb, keto, gut health friendly, anti-inflammatory, gluten-free, and clean, but it's just plain delicious! I especially love that it's good with or without any added sweeteners. It has quickly become part of my nightly bedtime ritual.
A huge thank you to Wild Foods for sending me their Turmeric Powder for this recipe.
Ingredients
1/4 cup Coconut Cream
1 cup hot water
1/4 teaspoon Organic Cardamom
1/4 teaspoon Organic Saigon Cinnamon
1 Tablespoon Collagen
1 Tablespoon MCT Powder
to taste (Completely optional, I prefer it unsweetened.)
Directions
Add all ingredients and blend well. You can use a blender for this or even a hand frother works well. Top with a sprinkle of cinnamon if desired.
Notes
Yes, you can use canned coconut milk instead of the coconut cream for lower calories on this. I've tried it with the unsweetened vanilla coconut milk in the carton and that was OK too, it will, of course, have less fat that way.
As mentioned, sweetener is completely optional. I prefer this with none, but turmeric can be an acquired taste, so play with it.
Let me know if you try it!!
