How Regenerative Agriculture Contributes to Water Conservation and Management
Fall is in the air, and the days are getting shorter. Even if you live in Southern climes, you know the change in weather is coming. And it’s bringing those comfort foods with it. Wrap your hands around this Pumpkin Super Spiced Up Latte as you curl up on the couch to enjoy the Autumn ambiance.
Benefits of Pumpkin Super Spiced Up Latte
Pumpkin: Of course, with pumpkins headlining the show, this latte delivers a boost of nutrition. Freshly pureed pumpkin adds beta carotene, as well as a good dose of fiber.
Chaga: Unique in the mushroom kingdom, chaga is a woody mushroom mainly found on old birch trees. As the King of Mushrooms, chaga contains antimicrobial compounds and adaptogenic properties. Brewed into a tea for this recipe, chaga makes the perfect base for a coffee- or a cocoa-inspired latte.
Pumpkin: The orange colors of most pumpkins blend with the changing leaves in Autumn in the northern US. That bright color reflects the nutrients it carries, from antioxidants to provitamin A and beta carotene. But the mild flavor and blend-ability make it an easy choice for a creamy, dairy-free latte.
Tocotrienols: so if you’re here, you’ve probably heard of forms of Vitamin E called tocopherols. Well, tocotrienols is just the other half of that Vitamin E complex. Tocos, as we call them, represent the other half of the total Vitamin E complex. (1)
