The best way to get all the nutrients you need to thrive is to eat a balanced diet with plenty of fresh vegetables and fruits, along with whole grains and lean protein. However, sometimes our bodies need a boost from herbs, flowers, roots, and mushrooms that aren't available in our local grocery stores. What better way to get these beneficial herbal supplements than by adding them to your recipes?

It's easy to cook with supplements that come in tincture, syrup, or powder form. Check out our ideas below to learn how to incorporate them into sweet and savory recipes that are nutritious and delicious.

Using Gaia Herbal Supplements in Recipes

Gaia Herbs products are extensively tested for purity and integrity, so what you see on the label is what you get. Since you're starting with pure ingredients, you can be sure that when you add them to any recipe, you'll reap the benefits of the specific amount of supplement you use.

We recommend recipes that use as many raw ingredients as possible to preserve all the nutrients.

While nutrients can be altered in the cooking process, research indicates that while some nutrients lose some of their health benefits when heated, cooking can increase or enhance the beneficial properties of others.

For example, experiments have shown that when vegetables are boiled with vitamin C, the amount of vitamin C is significantly reduced, and much of it leachs out into the boiling water.

But when tomatoes are cooked, the antioxidant lycopene actually increases while vitamin C is reduced. This means that eating cooked tomatoes offers more antioxidant properties than eating them raw.

Cooking can also make certain nutrients more bioavailable and digestible.

Based on the available research, the recipes we have included in this article should provide the same level of nutrition that you would get from taking the supplements directly. However, there is still debate about which nutrients can break down when heated. You will still receive the benefit, but it may be more or less than what you received from the gross supplement. If that worries you, stick with recipes that don't involve cooking or heating.

Keep in mind that if you use a single daily dose of the supplement in a multi-serving recipe, you will only receive a portion of your daily value in each serving, not the full amount.

drinks

You can use Gaia Supplements to create hot and cold infusions, smoothies, shakes, and mocktails. The sky is the limit depending on what ingredients you have on hand, your taste and the occasion. Here is a collection of hot and relaxing drink recipes to satisfy any mood.

hot drinks

Flavor your coffee, hot chocolate or tea with Gaia powders, tinctures or syrups for a more satisfying way to stay warm on cold winter days, or even on hot days.

golden milk: This drink, made with Gaia's Golden Milk powder, combines the benefits of Turmeric, Ashwagandha and dates. Just add your favorite hot milk and enjoy.
Traditional Golden Milk with Gaia Herbs:Add a pinch of turmeric and a tablespoon of honey to give your golden milk some extra flavor. You can also add any herbal extract to this hot drink to suit your taste.

Peppermint Tea with Chocolate and Coffee with Milk:Less sweet than hot chocolate, this concoction will warm your spirits any day. It gets the flavor of the mint leaf in the Gaia Herbs Liver Cleanse tea you use to make it.
Turmeric te chai:Just three ingredients make this drink deliciously satisfying: Turmeric Boost Restore, black tea, and almond milk.
Black Elderberry Hot Toddy:Enjoy a warm and satisfying drink that combines ginger root, black elderberry, and kava root with berries to support overall good health all winter long.*

If you like green or fruity smoothies that are high in antioxidants, adding supplements only makes them better. Many add-ons also add a welcome touch to refreshing punches and mocktails.

Salted Cocoa Caramel Shake:Start your day with a shake that packs plenty of energy and protein into one serving, using Maca Boost Cacao Ginger for added energy and stamina support.

Grain Free Pancakes:Make your pancakes with bananas and eggs instead of flour, then add Turmeric Boost to be ready for anything of the day.

Salty and sweet snacks

Incorporate your herbal supplements into snacks to enjoy throughout the day. Many supplements are best taken with food, and if they're already mixed, you don't have to worry about when to take them.

No Bake Chewy Maca Granola Bars:Everything in this recipe is healthy, with nuts, oats, seeds, and fruit. Add Maca Powder and you will have the perfect energy-packed snack to enjoy at any time of the day.
Baked Falafel with Herbed Saffron:For a snack or a meal, falafel is rich in nutrition and flavor. This recipe adds Turmeric Boost to make it even healthier.

Mixed Saffron Nuts: A handful of walnuts could be just the energy boost you need in the middle of the day when you start to feel dizzy. This recipe calls for Turmeric Boost. But you can replace or addeveryday adaptogenwith Mushrooms and Ashwagandha for added flavor and additional energy support.

Ginger Miso Sauce:Add Gaia Herbs Ginger Root Liquid Herbal Extract to your miso sauce and use a simple salad green when nauseated. The extract is packed with flavor and healing properties.
Turmeric vinaigrette with lemon and cumin:Smoky cumin and tangy lime make this dressing the perfect complement to a green salad with avocado and citrus. Adding Turmeric Boost puts your daily supplement in your salad.
