‘This place where you are right now. God circled on a map for you.’ – Hafiz

This milk is delicious and full of vital nutrients. My little one loves it and it’s great on days he needs something a little supplemental. Nuts are not only full of good fats, they are full of protein and are a great slow releasing energy source. I try and make a lot of products with nuts in them at home as school doesn’t allow nuts, so I want to make sure that little one has adequate exposure.

Coconut – Ayurvedically speaking coconut is a divine plant. It cools and soothes the liver, is a great source of energy, is a brain and blood tonic.

Cashew Nuts – Sweet and heavy, cashews calm the nerves and satisfy the belly. They are great for your gallbladder, joints and heart circulation.

Dates – Dates contain phyto-hormones that resemble oxytocin, the feel-good hormone. They are a muscle and blood tonic as well as being full of potassium and great soluble fiber.
