Trick question :
What’s my favorite thing about getting sushi??
Well, the sushi. ( DUH !! )
Right after that, the GINGER !!
I’m that girl who will go out for sushi anytime, any day. ALSO, I will eat all of the ginger that comes along with the sushi, and to be honest, I’ll probably eat yours too – never leave me at the table alone with your ginger.
Aside from the delish taste, I wolf down ginger because of its health benefits!
Ginger is fab for
+ Digestion : ginger increases motility ( muscle contraction ) throughout the digestive tract; ginger also contains phenolic compounds which help relieve GI irritation and stimulate production of saliva and bile – ginger has been used for hundreds of years to treat GI problems !!
+ Reducing Inflammation : ginger suppresses pro-inflammatory compounds produced by cells of joint cartilage
With health benefits, a recipe always follows …
Recipe
1 cup rolled oats
1/2 cup chopped carrots
1 cup medjool dates
1/4 cup pecans
1/4 cup hemp seed
1/4 cup melted coconut oil
2 T cocoa powder
2 tsp vanilla extract
1 tsp cinnamon
1/2 tsp ginger
Directions

My little enjoys eating my Coconut Energy Balls by the spoonful out of a tupperware so if you don’t want to get your hands dirty, you can always have a spoonful of energy instead!
LMK whatcha think! 🙂
