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.
