Post Weight Loss - Lessons Learned and Staying on Course

No, not eeww. I do this often. My preferred base is coconut water, plain or flavored, with added greens, fruit, a spot of turmeric, pepper, cayenne + a dash of rose-water + some whey or plant protein. Sometimes Kefir as base, with coconut water to thin as preferred. But, the advantage with the sauteé is that one can consume / use up a lot more greens. They wilt to almost nothing, but remain nutritious. Great for dinner time or when the palate craves 'salt' over sweet.

 

Yes, I read recently that this has become a thing!
Turmeric milk used to be a staple for sore throats when I was growing up. I have no idea whether it was effective, but all the ritual and being fussed over was helpful.
I do not have an 'authentic' recipe, but sometimes when I miss my paatti I make a warm badaam milk with added turmeric. Comes pretty close to my memories of childhood. It makes for a great soporific at bedtime. 'From scratch' recipe here. Of course you can skip all the soaking and whatnot by using store bought powder, almond milk etc. However, note that Almond Breeze was sued recently for having less than 2% almonds in its product. The rest is water, emulsifiers and other weird industrial stuff. None of the brands have precise, interpretable info on the ingredients. One of these days I need to figure out my own version of almond-milk powder that can be stored dry!

 

Hmmm, ever tried teabags - the ones one might get for loose-leaf tea?
Or even a good fine-mesh coffee filter might work well!
