Black Sesame Seeds Cubes

 

The easiest way to make a habit actually stick? having it already made for you 🫶

Black sesame seeds are such an underrated super food packed with so many minerals, healthy fats and antioxidants to support hair, skin, hormones & gut health

Batching these into cubes lately so all i have to do is drop one into warm coconut milk... here's how it's done:

BLACK SESAME CUBES ✔️

1 cup black sesame seeds, toasted
2-3 tablespoons honey 
2 tablespoons coconut oil, melted
pinch of sea salt

toast the seeds dry in a pan over medium heat for 2-3 minutes, let cool slightly and blend in a food processor until a paste forms, keep blending until it goes from chunky to smooth (it will happen eventually)

add sweetener, coconut oil and salt and blend until combined. you can pour the mixture into an ice cube tray or make little cubes/balls on your own, store in an airtight container in the fridge or freezer

the latte is as easy as warming milk and dropping in a cube to mix, add a little Ceylon cinnamon and save this recipe for your meal prepping this weekend!

Apple Cinnamon Oatmeal

 I tried making Creamy Oatmeal from Cardamom and Tea.  It called for 3/4 cup rolled oats, 1.5 cups milk (I used coconut), and 1.5 cups water.  I cooked it for 30 minutes and it never thickened. I'll try this recipe next.

• 1 small apple, diced (or ½ large)
• ▢1 cup rolled oats
• ▢1 cup water
• ▢1 cup milk 
• ▢2 teaspoon vanilla extract
• ▢1½ tablespoon maple syrup or honey
• ▢½ teaspoon ground cinnamon
• ▢1 tablespoon hemp seeds (or nuts & seeds of choice)
• ▢1 tablespoon pumpkin seeds (or nuts & seeds of choice)

• Dice the apple into small pieces. Heat a saucepan on medium high heat. Add the apples, ½ tablespoon of the syrup, and ¼ teaspoon of the cinnamon. Cook for ~5-10 minutes, until the apples have softened, stirring frequently. Remove a couple spoonfuls of the apples from the saucepan and set them aside for topping the oatmeal.
• Add the oats, milk, water, vanilla, and remaining maple syrup and cinnamon. Stir and bring everything to a boil. Reduce heat and simmer 5 minutes, stirring occasionally.
• Add the pumpkin seeds and hemp seeds and heat another minute.
• Add more milk or water as needed to get to your desired thickness. Serve with the remaining apple on top.
