People have an idea of which recipes tahini belongs to. Believe it or not, tahini is not solely reserved for dressings, hummus, and other dips or sauces. Tahini has a place in desserts, providing an earthy nuttiness that complements sweeter ingredients, such as dates, maple syrup, or agave. Some people regularly make tahini fudge! When you mix tahini with dates, however, you get an incredibly nourishing, filling treat. That ingredient combination is almost like a raw vegan version of salted caramel. Plus, that duo provides lots of fiber, potassium, and magnesium, all of which help the body function optimally.

One of the reasons why you’ll love this recipe is because of its simplicity. It comes together in a matter of minutes and it’s packed with natural sweetness. You get a hint of bitterness from the raw cacao powder, in addition to a surprising amount of nutrition. Just one tablespoon of raw cacao powder contains the following nutritional profile:

• 2 grams (g) of fat
• 29 calories
• 1 g of protein
• 2 g carbohydrates
• 11% of the daily value (DV) of fiber
• 5% of the DV of vitamin D
• 5% of the DV of potassium
• 1% of the DV of iron
• 1% of the DV of calcium

For the dates, we recommend that you go with Medjool dates, as they are generally bigger and have more of a caramel-like texture and flavor. They can be harder to find, depending on where you are, so you can replace them with regular dates if you cannot locate Medjools. If you cannot find Medjool dates, use two regular dates for every one Medjool date. Finally, if the dates are not soft, you can soak them in warm water for about 10 minutes before blending. Just make sure to discard the soaking liquid.

Cologne can be hit or miss. It is a very common gift for men, especially fathers who enjoy wearing cologne or aftershave. Due to personal preference and powerful or varying scents, picking the right cologne can be tricky. Not to mention, most commercial colognes contain synthetic fragrances, which can include carcinogens, respiratory irritants, environmental toxins, and more harmful substances. 

Making your own cologne with all-natural essential oils ensures a product that you can use safely and confidently. Don’t worry, because essential oil colognes will not make you smell awful, or like you just stepped out of a wild animal’s cave. In fact, the cologne recipes in this article may help you smell like freedom, the wild, and volcanos. Well, to each their own regarding the scents!

Some Cologne Notes

It is helpful to understand a few notes before you mix up your essential oil blends. You need to understand fragrance notes, which are divided into three classes: top, middle, and base. The top note is the first scent you notice after application, but it is also the quickest to fade. That leaves you with the next lasting scent, the middle class. Finally, the bass class is the scent that lasts the longest. A general formula is 10-15% for the top note, 25-30% for the middle note, and 55-65% for the base note. You can adjust the ratios any way you please, but that is simply a suggested starting place.

Instructions:

• In a two-ounce glass spray bottle, combine the essential oils and 1/2 tsp of vegetable glycerin.

People may tell you to relax or calm down on occasion, but that doesn’t really do anything except aggravate you. Whether something, someone, your kids, or a work project pushes you over the edge, you may want to know how to calm down in moments of stress. The need to calm down in the moment is much more desirable than a two-week plan to reduce stress. So how do you get rid of that acute stress in the moment? 

Taking a walk, doing yoga, or carving out some quality “me time” are all effective ways to help reduce stress. When you are in a state of high anxiety, the nervous system has already entered the fight-or-flight state. That is why you can’t think straight in those moments, nor can you access common stress-coping skills. What you need to do is calm the body and mind down as quickly as you can. There are various techniques that help the body get back to a parasympathetic (rest and digest) state. Continue reading to learn what those techniques are. 

Take Deep Breaths To Calm The Nervous System

Taking a deep breath seems like such a common piece of advice to calm down. It is one of the essential tools if you want to regulate your emotions, though. Taking a deep breath is one of the simplest and quickest ways to calm down, and it is always accessible to you. When the body is in a fight-or-flight state, it doesn’t receive enough oxygen to calm the nerves. Breathing helps you flood the body with oxygen! Just make sure you breathe in through your nose, expand the lower belly, and exhale fully out of your mouth. 

Watch Some ASMR Videos

A popular trend to reduce anxiety or fall asleep is to watch autonomous sensory meridian response (ASMR) videos. In these videos, people crinkle paper, prepare a meal, whisper, scratch, tap, or pitter-patter. The sounds and sensations induce a tingling sensation all over the viewer’s or listener’s scalp and neck. However, not everyone experiences ASMR the same way. Some people have adverse reactions to these videos, or they are annoyed by them. If ASMR helps you calm down in the moment, use it!

Shake It Off

You don’t have to listen to the Taylor Swift song, but shaking it off can help re-balance the nervous system. In fact, animals typically shake their bodies off after encountering a perceived threat. The belief is that shaking your arms and legs vigorously for three seconds buzzes the body and induces relaxation. Alternate between the legs and arms while standing up.

Sit With Stress And Label Intentions

The magnitude of your stress response can take you by storm sometimes. Do you ever go from zero to 100 without warning? When that happens, drop into your body and identify the physical sensations that you experience. Are you tight in certain areas? Do you want to jump out of your skin? Allow these sensations to be there and name them because that will help you connect the mind and body. That will not be easy, but sit with the stress and allow it to flow in and out of your body.

Hover Over Your Stress

Visualize yourself looking down to watch yourself in that moment of high stress. This is something that you can practice because it helps you detach yourself from your stress, which may bring levity to the situation. It isn’t quite dissociative, but it does bring a lightness to the body, creating a tiny opening to realize that you have more control than you realize. That may help prevent you from acting out irrationally. 

Hum To Stimulate The Vagus Nerve

When you hum, you produce a frequency in the mind and body that actually soothes the nervous system. A pilot study from April 2023 found that Bhramari, a breathing practice, improved heart rate variability. The study authors concluded that that technique may be an antidote to stress. Bhramari is a practice, during which you make a humming sound like a bee in the back of your throat. 

Use The Cold To Rest And Digest

Unless you live under a rock, you are probably familiar with the ice bath or polar plunge trend. Sitting in the cold for a few minutes stimulates the vagus nerve, which controls the parasympathetic nervous system. Now, you may not have access to a cold plunge in your moment of high stress. Should you want to calm yourself down quickly, head to a sink and splash cold water on your face. You can also use an ice roller on your neck, and chest, or submerge your face into a bowl of ice water.

We can’t just give you a plain Jane smoothie in this day and age. It has to wow your taste buds! This key lime pie smoothie, which is 100% raw vegan, is incredible indulgent, but you can enjoy it without worrying about sugar intake. Unlike the classic pie, this smoothie is gluten-free, dairy-free, egg-free, and only sweetened with a little maple syrup. You can, however, adjust the sweetness level to your desired taste.

The secret ingredient in this smoothie is, believe it or not, the avocado. It creates a luxuriously thick texture that makes this smoothie seem more like a milkshake. Just make sure that the avocado is not firm and underripe, or too mushy and overripe. You want the avocado to be just right, just like the porridge was for Goldilocks. An under or overripe avocado can dramatically change the flavor profile of this smoothie. It won’t taste like key lime pie, we can tell you that!

Although this key lime pie smoothie is sweetened with grade A maple syrup, you can use a different natural sweetener if you like. Raw agave nectar or alcohol-free stevia drops can be great options to sweeten your smoothie, especially if you are trying to remain keto.

What goes into a protein shake? You typically blend or shake up protein powder with liquid if you are pressed for time, or you incorporate protein powders into smoothie recipes. These powders are convenient and they are beneficial for anyone who wants to lose weight or put on muscle. However, most people don’t know when to drink them. This article aims to detail the best time to consume your protein supplements. 

The amount of protein you need is dependent on your health goals. Dietitians explain that the recommended daily allowance is 0.8 grams per kilogram of body weight. That averages to about 20 grams per meal. If you plan on building muscle, you may need to double that amount.  Before we get too into the weeds, let’s first explain why the body needs protein.

Why Do You Need Protein?

One could say that protein is very important, given that proteins exist in every human cell. Made up of amino acids, protein is one of the building blocks of life, helping your body repair cells and make new ones. Roughly 10 to 35% of your total daily calories should come from protein, according to the 2020-2025 Dietary Guidelines for Americans. That range is due to different diets and activity levels. Generally, though, if you consume 2,000 calories per day, aim to consume 50-175 grams of protein (amounting to 200-700 calories).

Protein shakes are highly beneficial because they can make it easier to meet these nutritional requirements. Depending on your health goals and your choice of protein powder, shakes can be a focal point of your diet. In very simple terms, protein does two things: helps you lose weight and helps you gain weight. Protein is integral for satiety (helping you feel full) and ensures that you minimize muscle loss. Protein helps you tip the scales a bit if gaining weight is your goal. 

When Is The Best Time To Take Protein?

The time at which you drink a protein shake depends on your health and fitness goals. Firstly, you have to understand your body’s metabolism and know whether it is in a catabolic or anabolic state. In a catabolic state, the body breaks down muscles, which is why the body is in this state while exercising. In an anabolic state, which is typically post-workout, the body is in a rebuild and refuel state. The window of time after you exercise, when your body is repairing and refueling, is when it can utilize protein in the most efficient way. 

Losing Weight

Protein is a key element of your diet if you want to lose fat. Focusing on protein can help increase your metabolism and reduce your appetite. This is because protein reduces levels of ghrelin, the hunger hormone, while simultaneously increasing levels of glucagon-like peptide-1 (GLP-1), peptide YY (PYY), and cholecystokinin (CCK), all of which are hormones that reduce appetite. Consuming a protein shake between meals may help decrease your overall caloric intake. One study found that people who ate a high-protein yogurt snack in the afternoon consumed 100 fewer calories at dinner than those who ate crackers or chocolate in the afternoon. That means that if weight loss is your goal, consume your protein shakes between your primary meals. 

Gaining Muscle Mass

If you want to bulk up and get swole, some research says that you should consume a protein shake between 30 and 60 minutes after your workout. Again, this is based on the knowledge of your body being in that anabolic state post workout. However, studies have shown the results of consuming protein post-workout are inconsistent. Some dietitians argue that nutrient timing is a myth, and when you drink you shake doesn’t hugely affect muscle gain. In fact, new research found that resistance exercise and consuming sufficient protein are more important than when you drink your protein shake. People who workout in a fasted state, though, may benefit from taking protein shortly after completing a workout. 

The bottom line is that there is a lot of controversy about what time you should consume your protein shake. The anabolic window, which was previously understood as the best time to consume protein, may not have as big of an impact on your muscle gains. You don’t have to chug your protein shake within seconds of completing your workout, but consuming it within an hour or so post-workout may help. Your body is in need of protein after a workout to aid with muscle repair and recovery. Although protein is important, you don’t have to stress about missing the most opportune moment for consumption. Drink your protein shake when you can, especially if you don’t consume a lot on a regular basis.

Have you stopped purchasing scented plug-ins, candles, and air fresheners yet? If you haven’t done so yet, then it’s time to leave them behind. Almost all of those products contain toxic chemicals, some of which are known endocrine system disruptors. The average person isn’t aware of those chemicals because manufacturers don’t have to disclose the ingredients in signature fragrances. If you see “fragrance” on the ingredient list, please understand that there are many harmful chemicals that go into making those blends. 

In case you didn’t know, some artificial fragrances disperse particles of phthalates and formaldehyde into the air. Phthalates are small particles of plastic that bind fragrance molecules together. You can easily breathe them in, whereby they get into your nose and lungs. In addition to those chemicals, the term “artificial fragrance” accounts for more than 3,000 chemicals. The reason that companies don’t have to disclose them is because they are signature, copyrighted blends. So there is no real way of knowing what is in an air freshener, unless you make your own.

Mold is a fungus that can quickly become a problem in your home, especially in moist or humid areas like the bathroom. It is unsightly and poses several risks to your overall health. If mold gets really bad, it can even cause structural damage to the house. How and why does mold grow and what can you do to get rid of it? The DIY anti-mold spray in this article should help you defeat the problem!

Why Does Mold Grow In The Bathroom?

Moisture and heat are the two ingredients that create a humid environment, which is ideal for mold growth. Mold spores start to grow in a humid habitat, which you create every time you take a shower or bath. Even if you wash your face or hands with warm water in the sink, you increase humidity in that area. The microscopic organisms that exist in the air or dust can feed mold spores and cause it to rapidly reproduce and spread. It is your responsibility to address the problem as soon as you see any mold. 

Now, there are numerous ways to help prevent mold growth in humid environments like the bathroom. If you see mold, just be careful because scrubbing it can cause it to release more mold spores, which can worsen the problem. If you just start to notice it in small patches, the natural ingredients in the anti-mold spray in this article should help you get rid of it. 

Vinegar

Vinegar exhibits antibacterial and antifungal properties, making it an affordable and natural treatment for many types of mold. Distilled white vinegar contains about 5-8% acetic acid, which is moderately strong and has a pH of 2.5. This acidity can disrupt the growth of several types of fungi and microorganisms. According to some research, vinegar is effective at preventing mold growth on fruit and at removing common household molds. However, it isn’t effective at killing every type of mold. Vinegar tends to be safe on a variety of surfaces, but you may need to check to see if it is safe to use on the surface where you see mold growth. 

Lemon Essential Oil

Lemon essential oil is quite versatile and commonly used in aromatherapy practices. Similar to other citrus oils, lemon essential oil can break down mold spores at a molecular level. Researchers attribute this ability to the strong anti-fungal properties. Not only does lemon essential oil give off a pleasant and inviting aroma, but it also works to prevent mold from forming on surfaces like shower grout and bathtub caulking. 

Tea Tree Oil

As a powerful fungicide, tea tree oil is best known for its antifungal properties in regards to skin care. Tea tree oil is effective against bacteria and fungus, but can it kill indoor mold? There are mixed views about this because an ingredient that can tackle fungus on the body may not work great on mold. According to some research, tea tree oil may help to clean moldy areas, but it cannot do it on its own. Combining it with lemon essential oil and vinegar, though, is the right way to solve the problem. 

DIY Anti-Mold Spray 

Ingredients:

• 1 cup white vinegar
• 20 drops lemon essential oil
• 40 drops tea tree essential oil
• 8-ounce spray bottle

Instructions:

• Pour all of the ingredients into a spray bottle, screw on the top and shake well to combine. 
• Make sure to shake well before each use. Because mold is toxic, you should always wear a face mask and gloves when cleaning mold and mildew. 
• Spray the anti-mold solution on the surface you want to clean and let it sit for about an hour. Using a microfiber cloth and scrub brush, remove any surface mold and then spray again.
• Allow to air dry. Use again when needed.

How do you create a milkshake on a raw vegan diet? Do you add ice to homemade almond or cashew milk and then add other ingredients to flavor the shake? Smoothies occasionally contain ice, but milkshakes don’t. This means that you need to get creative in order to achieve the thick and creamy consistency you want from a milkshake.

This recipe may not be the best milkshake you’ve ever tasted, but it may come close. The reason for this is because of once special technique that helps you achieve a luxurious, creamy consistency. Once you make the almond milk, which is a very easy process, you pour some into an ice tray to make almond milk ice cubes. Once the cubes are frozen solid, you are ready to make the milkshake.

The key to making this vanilla milkshake taste amazing is to use high-quality, alcohol-free vanilla extract. If you want to get really fancy and spend a lot of money on this recipe, use real vanilla bean, but this isn’t a necessary step. Alcohol-free vanilla extract, however, is the only variety that you can use if you are participating in one of our cleanses. Finally, the greatest thing about this raw vegan milkshake, besides the amazing flavor, is that it has fewer calories than a traditional milkshake. Let us know how you like it in the comments below.
