BRAINNOG or our version of Golden Milk
​Sleep can be hard for someone with dementia, yet this is when the brain repairs its cells and clears out toxins and the amyloid plaques. Golden Milk is a turmeric rich ayurvedic drink for health. We have modified this ancient standard to be a great bedtime drink that helps promote sleep and support the brain as it regenerates and clears debris while you dream. I personally cannot stand the taste of eggnog, yet I find this a tasty treat in the evening. Here is the recipe for two:
​
2 cups of coconut milk
1 tablespoon of ground turmeric
1 tablespoon of Ceylon cinnamon
1/2 teaspoon of ground cardamom
1/2 teaspoon of nutmeg
1/4 teaspoon of ashwagandha root powder
1 teaspoon of organic vanilla
2 tablespoons of MCT oil (medium chain triglycerides from coconuts)
a dash of ground black pepper​ (1/8th teaspoon)
Toss this in a blender and hit the button! Pour into two cups it can be warmed up for a more soothing experience
​
Please note; we don't add sugar as this can keep you awake, if you must, a little honey goes a long way and breaks down slower than processed sugar does.
