Natural Daily Brain Booster

This recipe creates a "brain booster" powder that combines ingredients traditionally valued for their cognitive support properties. This blend is rich in antioxidants, omega-3 fatty acids and other nutrients believed to support brain health and mental clarity.

Ingredients
  

  • 2 tbsp dried rosemary
  • 1 tsp fennel seeds
  • 3/4 cup walnuts
  • 1/2 cup pumpkin seeds
  • stevia or monk fruit (to taste) but I omit this

Equipment

  • Blender or grinder

Method
 

  1. Blend the ingredients. Place the dried rosemary, fennel seeds, walnuts and pumpkin seeds, and a suitable amount of stevia or monk fruit (optional) into your blender or grinder. When I use my grinder, I have to do it in two batches due to the amount of walnuts.
  2. Grind to a Powder. Process all the ingredients until they are fully pulverized into a fine powder. This ensures that the flavors and nutrients are well-mixed and easily consumable.
  3. Storage. Transfer the resulting powder into a clean and sterile jar. Sear the jar tightly to preserve freshness.
  4. Refrigeration. Keep the jar in the fridge to maintain its potency and freshness for up to 4 months.
  5. Serve. Incorporate 2 teaspoons of the brain booster powder into your daily diet by adding it to a glass of milk, coffee, or in a smoothie. For additional flavor and extra nutritional benefits, consider adding a sprinkle of cinnamon or cocoa powder to the mix.

Notes

Due to the oils in the walnuts, mine never really seems to get to a "powder". But it does grind up fairly small and can be sprinkled on your choice of beverage (according to the recipe). However, I put it on my cottage cheese for breakfast.  I prefer it without Stevia or monk fruit, but add it if you like a sweeter version.  I also eat a spoonful of it because I really enjoy the taste. 
Dosage: the book says you can consume it in the morning before a meal or before bedtime to suit your routine.
