Humans love treats and our brains are primed to want fuel. When you eat these cookies, make them with love and enjoy them with gusto. The ingredients I chose provide brain fuel, minimize inflammation for most people, and provide healing help for your brain.
I developed these cookies as a way to incorporate chaga mushrooms into my diet as part of my cancer-prevention strategy. Chaga mushrooms are super high in beta-glucans which feed your white blood cells so they speed around your body killing things that should not be there. While I use LifeCykel’s double liquid chaga extract daily, I see only positives from making these cookies too!
If you are worried enough about your immune function to find this recipe, you could probably use some help lowering your stress – hence the Ashwagandha in the recipe!
Moon Juice has interesting blends of adaptogenic herbs of excellent quality. I like Brain Dust almost as much as I like their Sex Dust 😉
