Lassi A-Go-Go

Writer's picture: AdminAdmin

Mango season is amongst us and my husband and I were wanting something creamy and tropical to set the tone for the day.

Mango A-Go-Go is my idea of a traditional Indian Mango Lassi created into a chia pudding!



Gimme Some of that Cardamom!

"The health benefits of cardamom include gastrointestinal protection, cholesterol control, control of cancer, relief from cardiovascular issues, and the improvement of blood circulation in the body. It is useful for curing dental diseases and urinary tract infections such as cystitis, nephritis, and gonorrhea. Cardamom possesses aphrodisiac properties and is also used as a cure for impotency, erectile dysfunction, and premature ejaculation."-organic facts
