Extracting the Goodness
Written By: A.J. Stewart | Issue: 2018/12 - December
When it comes to eating healthy, everyone inevitably turns to locally-grown food. Whether you grow it yourself or find it in the local farmers’ market, nothing can beat the taste or the benefits of fresh fruit and vegetables.
But even after summer fades into fall and the gardens are put to bed for the winter, you can still take advantage of the benefits of locally made products, thanks to Anastasia Halldin, the Healthy Mama. For the last seven years, Anastasia has been sharing healthy recipes for parents and families looking to improve their lifestyle through clean eating and natural products. The Plateau has benefitted from Anastasia’s wisdom and expertise through her contributions to the Laurel and her blog, Healthy Mama Info. Now, you can enjoy the same great tastes Anastasia feeds her own family through her new line of syrups and extracts.
Anastasia’s line of two syrups and eight extracts are all-natural and homemade right in Healthy Mama’s Kitchen. The first is her Elderberry syrup. Sweetened with honey sourced from Anderson, South Carolina, the Elderberry syrup is a wonderful addition to the medicine cabinet, as well as the pantry. Elderberry is proven to boost the immune system and help ward off sickness and disease. The syrup is also available sugar-free, sweetened with stevia and erythritol.
In addition to her syrups, Anastasia also has a line of flavorful extracts. The extracts are available in chocolate, coffee, almond, mint, lemon, orange, vanilla, and cinnamon. These all-natural flavors have no additives and are the perfect way to add flavor to just about anything. Smoothies, coffee, frosting, sauces, and especially your holiday baking will never be the same.
“I noticed there weren’t many health food stores in this area,” Anastasia says. “This is just my way of spreading health and wellness in the local community.”
The syrups and extracts, an Elderberry Syrup Kit, and a Cold and Flu Immunity Tea are available on her website and have been widely popular. Anastasia has plans to expand her line in the future to include things such as turmeric extract (an excellent anti-inflammatory), along with Elderberry extracts and gummies.
