Healing Foods : Part 2

 

 

It's time for Part 2 of my Healing Foods Series. 

 

A little 4 part series that I’ve put together to help you (and me!) embrace all of those wonderful nutrient-dense foods that are in abundance and help us heal.  For those of us living an AIP lifestyle, these are foods that we can still (and should) enjoy daily for their ability to build and improve our health.  

 

I’m sharing with you my 4 top highly nutritious food groups that you can add into your life, starting today.  I’ve done all the research.  You just need to sit back and enjoy.

Raw Honey v. Refined Honey

 

 

I am an avid lover of Rice Malt Syrup as my sweetener of choice.  Something that should come of no surprise if you’ve tried one of my recipes.

However, being on the Autoimmune Protocol, I’ve had do say au revoir to all grains – this includes rice malt syrup.  This isn’t a bad thing though, as I get to say a big hello to honey.  In particular raw organic honey.....
