BREAST CANCER AWARENESS~ HEALTHY RECIPE GUIDE
By: Allie Might, FMC, INHC, ATT
Sometimes there’s a lot of information online that can cause one to get really inspired. That has been what’s happened to me over the past couple of weeks, especially with the topic of breast cancer awareness on my mind. I keep coming across a variety of groups posting weekly recipes to support, bring awareness and start a conversation on this important topic. So, I wanted to create some delicious and healthy recipes that can be incorporated into any diet, including those in treatment.†

1 cup oat milk, or any non-dairy milk of your choice

In a pot, add non-dairy milk, the contents of the Bio-Curcumin capsules and the honey. Stir all together and heat until warm and all contents are dissolved. Add to mug and enjoy!

VERY BERRY PARFAIT†
1 cup organic plain Greek yogurt
1 scoop Reds Hx

½ cup mixed berries (blueberries, raspberries, blackberries and/or strawberries)
Combine Greek yogurt and Reds Hx together until fully blended. In a glass (I like to use a pretty wine glass) layer half of the yogurt mixture and add half the fresh berries on top. Repeat this layering to create 4 layers. Eat and enjoy!
For added flavor, add a little lemon zest to the top of the parfait.†

Whey Protein
With its complete spectrum of essential amino acids, protein provides the building blocks your body needs for daily functioning. The average adult needs 48-60 grams of protein per day from a variety of food and/or supplement sources. The elderly, athletes, and those who are very active may have a more difficult time keeping up with these nutritional demands. Whey protein powder isolate may be the most efficient source of protein for tissue repair, as well as muscle recovery and strength.
Chocolate is one of nature’s most powerful super foods. It its natural form, it contains a wide variety of minerals, vitamins and antioxidant flavonoids that offer great health benefits. But the benefits of chocolate are generally reversed when milk, cholesterol from milk solids, and/or an enormous amount of refined sugar are added. Cocoa is naturally bitter in flavor so chocolate bars require a lot of sweetening. When cocoa is cooked, it becomes even more bitter.
Chocolate in its natural form (without the additives) includes essential minerals such as magnesium, calcium, iron and zinc, as well as the Vitamins A, B1, B2, B3, C, E and pantothenic acid. In addition, it has polyphenols similar to those found in wine that offer excellent antioxidant protection. These beneficial antioxidants increase circulation to the brain and heart, improving healthy blood flow. They also help to reduce the blood’s clotting function, potentially decreasing your risk of blood and cardiovascular related health issues. Together, these agents help improve various areas of health such as circulation, energy and mood. Flavonols appear to be the substances in cocoa that are responsible for boosting heart health and keeping blood pressure in the normal range. These substances appear to improve the bioavailability of nitric oxide from the cells that line the inner wall of blood vessels:
