Oat Honey Cookies

This recipe was the result of an intense cookie desire one late night in college. Lacking both white and brown sugar, and with only the dregs of a box of turbinado sugar, I made do with what I had and was pleasantly surprised by how tasty and addictive these were! Since that first batch, I've refined the recipe a bit. These cookies are wholesome, but still a treat. They're great with a cup of tea or coffee in the afternoon.

Anti-Inflammatory Cherry-Spinach Smoothie

This healthy smoothie is not only delicious—it also provides anti-inflammatory foods. It starts with a base of creamy gut-friendly kefir and includes cherries, which can lower the inflammatory marker C-reactive protein. Heart-healthy fats in avocado, almond butter and chia seeds deliver additional anti-inflammatory compounds, while spinach offers a mix of antioxidants that sweep up harmful free radicals. Fresh ginger adds zing, plus a compound called gingerol, which preliminary studies suggest may improve inflammatory markers of heart disease if consumed daily.
