Chai Carob Latte

Chai Carob Latte

If you don’t have a high-powered blender, melt the chips first to ensure that they will blend in completely.

2 cups unsweetened rice, almond or soy milk
1/4 cup unsweetened carob chips
2 Tbsp-1/4 cup raw cashews, depending on how thick and rich you want the latte
2 tsp cinnamon
1/2 tsp ginger
1/4 tsp cardamom
15-20 drops vanilla or plain stevia liquid

Place all ingredients in a high-powered blender and blend until hot. Pour into mugs and serve immediately. ( Alternately, place all ingredients in a small, heavy-bottomed pot, and heat over medium-low heat, stirring constantly, until everything is melted and blended together. Then, use an immersion blender or frother to ensure that the melted chips are well-blended and to create a foamy top.) Makes 2 servings.

Homemade Grenadine

No high-fructose corn syrup in this one. SOLD.

Grenadine is a syrup flavored with pomegranates. It may or may not contain alcohol. You can easily make your own non-alcoholic grenadine syrup at home with this recipe.
Prep Time: 10 minutes
Cook Time: 20 minutes
Ingredients:

* 2-1/4 pounds pomegranates
* 1 pint water
* Sugar, see instructions

Preparation:
Separate the pomegranate seeds from the membranes and skin. In a heavy saucepan, cover pomegranate seeds with 1 pint of water and simmer, stirring until juice sacs release their juice, about 5 minutes. Pour through a cheesecloth-layered sieve into a bowl, pressing the juice from the seeds. Discard seeds.

Measure the strained pomegranate juice and add an equal amount of sugar. Pour into saucepan and bring to a boil. Reduce heat and simmer for 10 to 15 minutes. Cool to room temperature. Add food coloring, if using. Pour into a decorative stoppered bottle.

I'm gonna have to work my way up to this one...

Are you eating enough iron? Have a vitamin C source with an iron source (think smoothie with frozen blueberries, kale (iron and calcium), banana (masks the kale), orange juice for C); vitamin C increases the absorption of the iron.

Scroll down this page to see iron sources: http://www.soystache.com/iron.htm

I get the concept, but kale and blueberries? Like... together? Couldn't I just have one or the other and take a pill for the other one? That would work too, right?
