I’m back with another rich, frothy, chocolatey, peanut buttery elixir :)
What would I do without these warm drinks when the temps are cold and the snow is flying?
This recipe is similar to some of my other elixir recipes except for one little twist – the addition of peanut butter. The peanut butter adds a little body and provides a nice dose of protein.

My first oatmeal smoothie has arrived and it’s a tasty one! It’s also quite nutritious and perfect for breakfast.
I’m a creature of habit and for a long time was content eating oatmeal with butter and occasionally a splash of cinnamon. After my recent experiments blending oatmeal with fruit and other goodies that habit has changed.
A quick, and important word, about preparing oatmeal for maximum digestion and nutrient assimilation before we get to this delicious recipe.
Really? Eat More Butter? Yes!
For years, maybe even decades, experts told us to back away from the butter. Put down that horrible, saturated, animal fat. Turns out, that advice was not necessarily the best.

If you are a health food and superfood enthusiast and you like foods that taste delicious, it’s time to take another look at butter. You may be asking right about now if butter can be a tasty ingredient in smoothies. The answer is a resounding yes. Read on to learn more.
Hello warm, chocolatey, gingery goodness!
The ginger cookie taste I was aiming to recreate didn’t quite happen. However, this is still one flavorful and nutritive elixir.
This recipe is loaded with spices that offer myriad health benefits. The star spice of this recipe, ginger, delivers potent anti-inflammatory action, rivaling non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs. Ginger is perhaps best known for settling an upset stomach and providing gastrointestinal relief. It has also been implicated in protecting against certain cancers and is an immune system booster.
This fully-loaded, energizing, brain boosting, nutritious, and delicious superfood smoothie will ensure you have the best day ever!
As you can tell by the name of this smoothie it’s chalk full of healthy ingredients. Almonds, berries, chocolate, spices, and an ingredient making its smoothie debut.
This is the elixir I regularly consume t

Elixirs replace smoothies in my regimen when there’s freezing temps and snow, which is about 4 months a year living in Michigan.
As with smoothies, I recommend developing a go-to elixir or two. My staple elixir is tailored to my personal nutritional needs and health goals, as should yours. Having a go-to elixir takes the guesswork out of what I’m having for breakfast and allows me to stock up on ingredients in bulk.
