I love kombucha. But what if it’s not in your fridge? And what if you’re not willing to fork over those hard-earned 5 bucks for a 16 oz bottle? My answer to this vexing issue is: Fauxbucha! This super-easy-to-make concoction tastes like kombucha, offers probiotic pearls, is good for you, and you can make it at a fraction of the price. What are you waiting for?!

MARY PURDY, RD, INTEGRATIVE & ECO-CONSCIOUS REGISTERED DIETITIAN

First things first: I love chocolate. I love kale. And I consume them both regularly, but generally not at the same time (although, ask me about my chocolate, berry & kale smoothie!) I also love helping people find easy ways make their body, mind, and life better while also making eco-friendly choices that support the health of our planet.

Golden Milk Recipe

Golden Milk is a great way to get your daily dose of turmeric. Curcumin, the active compound in turmeric, is only really available to the body, and most well-absorbed when it is combined with a fat and a pepper (black or spicy). The peperine compound in the pepper increases the effectiveness of curcumin while fats in the milk helps it support your brain.
