Blackstrap Molasses Recipes

Another alternative to using soy or milk in the Fountain of Youth recipe is hemp milk. I tried this a couple of nights ago and enjoyed it so much that I'd like to share it here. Hemp is high in protein and the EFAs Omega 3 and 6.

In a small pot combine and heat to warm (do not boil):
3 ounces hemp milk
3 ounces water
1 tbl molasses

Stir till molasses melts, and once mixture gets thoroughly heated, sprinkle cinnamon to taste. No extra sweetner is needed.

I have been suffering with the symptoms describing hypothyroidism. Last week I started the EVCO and added the ACV, of course, decided to throw in the molasses. I will keep you all posted on my progress, trying to feel better and lose the 40 pounds I have picked up. Today I write because I have come up with a great drink. It kills two birds with one stone. Here goes:

• One large mug.
• 2 bags of lipton caramel truffle tea.
• One tbsp evco [extra virgin coconut oil].
• One tbps black strap molasses.
• One half to one tbsp honey.

Pour boiling water over the ingredients in mug and stir gently while steeping to melt the coconut oil..

I could not stand the taste of the molasses, however it is so yummy in this tea. Hope you like it. I have noticed since the evco and acv that like most everyone else, my ENERGY has soared, skin soft, body temp up, hair and nails gowing, dry seriously cracking heels softer and healing (using oil dirrectly) no more claritin, sleeping better, brighter outlook. This is only my seventh day. At first I seemed to gain a little weight, but just today I noticed the scale is down 1 pound. I am keeping at it and will keep you posted. Christine

With all of the great recipes offered for the black strap molasses, I still couldn't get it down. That is, until I blended it with a cup of milk (I'm using lactose free), one half to three quarters of a banana - a great shake!! In efforts to make it healthier, I add about 1/4 teaspoon of cinammon and a tiny piece of fresh ginger. It's a wonderful tasting breakfast and I keep a second beverage available for sipping throughout the day for giving me a super calcium dose daily!

To make your blackstrap molasses experience soothing to the palate - try a cup or so of milk, warm in a saucepan for just have a minute and add the molasses to the warm milk in the sauecpan stir - pour drink and enjoy - it does taste like a coffee latte . . .

I have been taking Blackstrap Molasses for several days now, in my morning tea. It is absolutely delicious in a sweet, richer tea (like chai or caramel) with a tsp of honey, milk as creamer, and a touch of cinnamon. It tastes great enough to have a second or third cup, and more energizing than an energy drink (without the chest pains and bloating I usually get from caffeine). Even aside from the great health benefits, it's worth it to use it for the inexpensive energy boost alone.

As someone on here suggested, mixing molasses and hot milk. I tried it, was a little skeptical, it tastes really good. I was surprised because well if you've had blackstrap molasses straight than you know how it makes you cringe. I put a spoonful in hot milk. I use a tall glass because I prefer more milk so the molasses isn't very strong. Adjust to your tastebuds.

I am currently trying to fight fibroid tumors and read about the molasses. I did order a bunch of it and when I got it I couldn't get the stuff down without gagging and nearly throwing it back up. I did stop doing it and began other options although they have helped I began bleeding more and getting tired, and loosing my energy. I decided to try the molasses. again to help with this and I still couldn't get it down, so I tried it with a tablespoon full with a 4oz cup of grape juice and drank it with a straw as far back in my mouth as possible. It is so much easier to get down and since the grape juice packs such a punch of flavor it's self it nearly covers the taste. I must say I have only been doing it a day now so I will keep you up dated on my fibroid and energy level to help further confirm the black strap molasses cure.

Hint for making blackstrap more palatable to take: mix one tablespoon with milk (yes...it is good) and drink hot; tastes like a caramel latte. Honest!!

I'm going out tomorrow to stock up on everything I've read tonight from ACV to Molasses. Someone inquired as to how to use he Molasses to make it more palatable. It is pretty common around where I live to have Molasses on top of a buttered biscuit (for the non-US readers, that is a bread roll). I would imagine one can use it in similar, yet healthier manner-on toasted whole grain bread or waffles. The fat in the butter seems to temper the sour taste of the Molasses, I am not sure how it would be with other fats.

I recommend molasses in porridge every morning. Not only does it flavour the porridge but it also sets me up for the day ahead. I have been an avid molasses fan for 9 years now and I ensure that it accompanies me on my many cycling trips as it gets me over the hills!!
