What I like about the Golden Power Smoothie is the combination of spices.
We use:
– turmeric – the anti-inflammatory goodness,
– Ceylon cinnamon -helping to regulate blood sugar levels,
– ginger – is a nausea fighter and has soothing effect on the stomach.
It has a creamy texture and subtle tropical taste. It’s definitely on my list of 5 Favourite Smoothies! 🙂

The Inner Light Ethos

+

As living creatures, we are all radiant. Our cells literally emit ‘biophotons’. Biophoton output has been understood as expressive of one’s state of health; more biophoton output, more vibrant health. Viewed with certain instruments, human beings are bioluminescent, shimmering creatures; and little stars made of stardust.
