These are two of my all-time favourite recipes for Spring so I wanted to share them with you! Filled with all the antioxidant goodness that your liver will love, the Green Smoothie and the Cleansing bowl will help to give you that Spring Clean on the inside. Check out these easy recipes below.
Chai is a little like coffee-- how you brew it is really important! Our recommended method is the traditional way on the stove-:
Preheat the oven to 350° and line 2 baking sheets with baking paper. Spread the sesame seeds in a pie plate.
We love experimenting with different concoctions and flavours here at BBTC as you know, and our most recent session was with SPICE DREAM. Whilst this is a deliciously healthy caffeine-free chai latte for winter, you can also prepare it as a rich and decadent cool drink for Summer. This is a great caffeine-free substitute for an iced coffee or chai.
Iced Teas are a deliciously healthy way to hydrate over the Summer and also have the added health benefits of the organic herbs and ingredients that they contain. The process to make these beauties is so simple! You will only need a jug, some water (preferably filtered) and whatever BBTC herbal tea you’d like to use. We recommend using boiling water to infuse the herbal tea so that you extract the active constituents of the herbs that have the therapeutic action. Then the infusion is simply cooled down.
We love this recipe from @SharonLawtonNutrition using our Spice Dream. Soba noodles are made from buckwheat. Although the name gives the impression buckwheat comes from wheat, it is actually a seed. Soba noodles are thin noodles unlike the thicker udon noodles traditionally made from white rice. Soba noodles can be gluten free and made just with buckwheat. They are also made in a combination of white wheat flour and buckwheat, so read the label if you are seeking gluten-free options.
Crispy skin salmon is one of those ingredients that is perfect for a quick weeknight dinner in spring and with our Immunity Tea, this salmon dish is taken to a whole new level. @SharonLawtonNutrition has developed this recipe using immunity tea that contains a unique blend of lemon myrtle, eucalyptus, licorice and ginger that works well to balance the rich salmon flavour. She has also added lemongrass and garlic flakes to compliment the loose leaf tea. A drizzle of Extra Virgin Olive Oil ties it all together.

Roasted vegetables are one of the easiest and tastiest ways to cook vegetables. Serve any roasted vegetable warm in winter and autumn. In spring and summer eat in a salad with leafy lettuce and greens.

In this recipe our FORTIFY blend has been used. It is a variation of raw cacao with extra spice with soothing and warming flavours of Cacao, Tulsi and Nutmeg making these little beauties a great Immune Boosting treat for Winter.
Chicken soup has been touted as a cure for the common cold for centuries. But is chicken soup a “miracle cure” in a bowl or is this just a myth?
Simply mix altogether in a blender and enjoy!
Serves 6
Shiitake mushrooms should first be sautéed lightly in olive oil until softened and gently caramelized. They can then be added to scrambled eggs using fresh herbs and seasonings of your choice. Pop on your favourite sourdough toast, some avocado (high in Vitamin A and C to boost the immune system) and some steamed sautéed spinach (high in vitamin A).
Serves 2
This is such an easy dish to get together and jam-packed full of nutrients making the perfect meal for winter. Containing whole-grains, root vegetables, steamed greens and avocado- it has a good balance of protein, carbohydrate and quality fats. Topped with sauerkraut, a fermented food to encourage the growth of good bacteria in the gut- this is sure to make the tummy happy.
Smoothies are a great way to provide your body with lots of immune boosting nutrients. Smoothies are also easy to digest from their “pureed” consistency taking the burden off the digestive process, giving your body more energy to do other things. This paleo, immune-boosting smoothie is packed full of specific ingredients targeted at healing the gut lining (flaxseed oil), boosting your detoxification pathways and promoting optimal immune function.
These are a delicious snack to help chase away the winter sniffles. They are high in zinc (from the walnuts and almonds)- which is one of the most important nutrients to boost the immune system. With the addition of Manuka honey (or local Jellybush honey) which has a strong antibacterial action and our Fortify tea latte powder, these are sure to give you that added protection.
Healthy, simple and delicious! This barramundi dish will leave you completely nourished and give you that pick-me-up when you have the winter sniffles. We love the use of Immunity tea that has a Lemon Myrtle flavour- it gives this dish a fresh aroma of citrus, which is sweet and refreshing.
Preheat oven to 140.C. Heat a large...
Saute onion, garlic and maitake mushrooms in soup pot. Add miso and 2 cups of water. Let simmer for 10 minutes. Add carrots and 4 cups of water and let boil until carrots are soft. Add kale. Add kelp or seaweed to taste. Serve immediately.
Chai syrup can be made by placing 3 heaped teaspoons of BBTC Spice Dream into a cup with a half a cup of boiling water and 1 tablespoon of honey, stirring vigorously.
Place quinoa and milk in a small saucepan and bring to the boil with the lid on. Once boiling, turn the heat down to a gentle simmer and add the Spice Dream and sweetener. Simmer for 12-14 minutes or until the liquid is absorbed and the germ turns opaque. I take it off the stove...
In the bowl of your crockpot or slow cooker, combine the chicken stock, olive oil, onions, carrots, parsnips, celery, leeks, peppercorns, bay leaf, thyme, ginger, Immunity tea and a pinch each of salt and pepper. Add the chicken. Cover and cook on low for 5-6 hours or high...
I don’t know about you, but for me there is nothing better than cooling down with a refreshing iced tea on a long, hot summer’s day. After a little bit of time in the sweltering Byron Bay sun and a dip in the Ocean, I usually come home to an iced tea and plate of fresh fruit- that’s my favourite summer ritual. There is nothing more refreshing to enliven the senses!
Green smoothies are full of vitamins and minerals, very alkalising and detoxifying. I like to keep things simple so I follow this formula-:

There is yet another use for the good old tea leaf- Kombucha! I love this stuff so decided to give it a go making it at home. For those of you who are not familiar with this magical drink- Kombucha is a fizzy, fermented beverage made from sweetened tea, usually black, that is fermented by a bacteria and yeast culture and ends up full of probiotics as a result.
