Introduction

Welcome back to my Extreme Diabetes Management recipe series! The recipes in this series were created during a very strict detox food challenge recommended by my chiropractor as a way to potentially reverse my Type II Diabetes. My change in eating habits required that I stop eating all processed foods, sugars, dairy (except for butter and heavy whipping cream), fruits (except for avocado), starches, legumes, grains, sauces and alcohol. As a result, I reduced my A1c from 7.0 to 6.4. This has encouraged me to keep the eating habits I've developed as a result of this food challenge.

Home-Made Green Tea Latte

In this article you will learn to make a relaxing frothy green tea latte glowing with healthiness. It takes only a few ingredients and a milk frother to create this delicious drink. The tea with the honey is both soothing and is filled to the brim with healing properties. The brain-boosting properties of the Matcha tea make a green tea latte the perfect warm drink to have by your side in the evening whether you like to read, play games, work on puzzles or complete a craft.

Nutrition Research Notes

Matcha tea is packed with health benefits! Some of the proven benefits of Matcha tea include:

  • Calms the mind
  • Boosts memory and concentration
  • Carries Antioxidants that protect the body from damage by free radicals
  • Carries phytonutrients, such as chlorophyll
  • Strengths your immune system
  • Boosts metabolism and helps promote weight loss
  • Protects the heart and liver
  • Contains plenty of dietary fiber

Pure Raw Honey

A small amount of raw honey in warm drinks contains vitamins, minerals and phytonutrients carried by the bees from the flowers and plants they pollinate. Some of the benefits of pure, raw, unprocessed honey include:

  • Carries Antioxidants
  • Anti-fungal agent, killing harmful bacteria from your system
  • Anti-Inflammatory
  • Soothes sore throats
  • Heals digestive issues

Heavy Whipping Cream

As noted also in my coffee latte recipe article, heavy cream contains lots of fat and some sugars, but it also contains protein to balance its profile. Another benefit is that it aids in feeling full, so you can avoid those late night hunger pangs.
