I am thrilled to introduce Sandra Tiffany’s newest contributor, Ali Miller, RD, LD, CDE.

For me, working with Ali has been life-changing and I know that her expertise will have the same effect on you. I met Ali a couple months after I had my second child, Jackson. I was desperate to lose the 45 pounds I’d gained during pregnancy and I loved Ali’s mantra – “Food-as-Medicine.” Although at the time, having a new baby and a toddler around, I wasn’t quite ready to fully commit; but, with Ali’s patience and ongoing teachings, here we are two and a half years later and I’ve lost the baby weight and feel better than ever! I am grateful for having Ali a part of my life and I’m so happy to now share her with y’all! Ali’s website is like a bible of nutritional information; from online courses, to podcasts, to tips and some of the greatest recipes I’ve tasted, you must check her out!

Ali is a Registered Dietitian, Licensed Dietitian, Certified Diabetes Educator, and a Certified Weight Management Specialist. Her “Food-As-Medicine” philosophy, which is supported by up to date scientific research, is a functional approach to healing the body and preventing disease through the food that we eat. Ali has a passion to create public awareness regarding the significant role that diet plays in our overall health. Through corporate outreach and as a public figure, Ali addresses nutrition misconceptions and myths, clarifying the extensive amount of confusing and conflicting information that often saturates the media.

Ali is the author of “Naturally Nourished: Food-As-Medicine for Optimal Health” cookbook, as well as the “Reset, Restore, Renew: Real Food Detox” program, and the “Optimal Eating” virtual course, and is widely recognized as a leader and advocate in her field. Ali has been featured on both ABC and NBC, and appears weekly on Fox 26 in Houston.
In 2015, she received the award of “Top 50 Most Influential Women in Houston” by Houston Woman Magazine.

Coffee, My Favorite Morning Ritual

by Sandra | Nov 28, 2016 | Food & Drink

Food & Drink

Today I want to share this fabulous coffee recipe that I start each day with. When I was given this recommendation by my nutritionist, Ali Miller, I was a little hesitant on trying it at first! (for about 3 months actually!) I couldn’t get over the thought of putting butter or ghee in my coffee. Then, when I started keto I decided to give it a try, and now I can’t go a day without it!

Blending is absolutely the key! It completely transforms the coffee and makes it more creamy like a latte. The effects of the MCT oil (Medium Chain Triglycerides – which are extracted from coconut oil) and the fat from the butter is a great way to start your day off it will keep you energized and full for hours!

Here’s what you need:

2 teaspoons of MCT oil
1 teaspoon of ghee or grass fed butter (the fat from grass fed cows are much different from not)
1 cup of coffee – I use my Nespresso machine – Mine is about 10 ounces

Here’s what you do:

Put the MCT oil & Ghee/Butter in the cup
Brew your coffee or pour your coffee over the fats
Then pour the coffee/fats into a blender cup I use either the Magic Bullet or my Mini Vitamex
Blend for about 20-30 seconds
Then serve

Enjoy!
