No-poo

Also wanna be chemical free...

So to this end, I am considering going "no-poo". OK, actually, I tried this yesterday and I'm ready to make a run for it.

Found some helpful tips at this web page:

The Perfect Pumpkin Shake, Really!

This morning's pumpkin-milk-based concoction was delightful. Here's how to duplicate this in your own home:

1/2 can pumpkin puree
3 eggs yolks
4 oz cream (frozen)
4 oz fermented dairy such as kefir
8 oz whole milk
1+ TB of coconut oil
1 tsp (or one cube) of crystallized ginger
1/4 tsp nutmeg
1/8 tsp allspice
1/8 tsp cloves
1/2 tsp cinnamon
~2 TB honey

Add all ingredients to blender and blend until smooth.

This is a protein-rich, blood-sugar-stabilizing beverage to get your day off to a great start!
