My Nutty Twist On A Traditional Mexican Horchata Drink
View this post on Instagram
My twin sons recently helped me invent a nutty twist on a traditional Mexican horchata drink, using a special ingredient (one of my favorite snacks!).
We’ve tried horchata recipes with different ratios, types of rice and nuts, and various spices, but the king of them all has turned out to be a horchata made of Barukas nuts.
Since they were introduced to me by super foodie Darin Olien, Barukas have remained a staple in our household. They’re pretty much the healthiest nuts on the planet – a mini-cocktail of micronutrients – and perfect fuel for what my sons and I call our Barukas Choco-Horchata. Read on for the recipe:
Ingredients:
🥛 1 cup Barukas nuts, soaked in water for 24 hours at room temperature
🥛 4 cups hot (but not boiling) water
🥛 ½ cup organic cacao powder
🥛 ¼ cup sugar, honey, or alternative sweetener
🥛 ¼ tsp salt
🥛 2 tsp cinnamon
Instructions:
🥛 Drain the soaked Barukas nuts and add to a blender.
🥛 Add hot water and blend on high speed until homogenous and almost smooth, about 2 minutes.
🥛 Carefully pour blended nuts through a cheesecloth-lined fine-mesh sieve into a large bowl or pitcher. Gather the ends of the cheesecloth together and squeeze out all remaining liquid.
🥛 Add sugar, honey, or sugar substitute and salt to the horchata liquid and stir together.
🥛 Cool completely, then transfer to a container and store in the refrigerator (stores for up to a week).
🥛 Serve horchata over ice, sprinkled with cinnamon, or if you prefer, warm.
Tip: Don’t toss those soaked nuts from which you’ve strained the “nut milk”! The texture of this “nut pulp” is fantastic for making raw food crusts and bases or as part of a nourishing face and body scrub.
PS: Incidentally, for you cocktail enthusiasts, a local restaurant called “De Espana” serves this same drink as Tiger Nut Horchata with rum on ice. It’s mighty fine. I’m completing my second cookbook, so keep your eyes peeled for updates on its release date.
My New Parenting Book Is Officially Available Now!
Whew, I’m a bit exhausted.
After two years of interviewing some of the top parents on the planet…
…. from crazy macho Alpha dads like the controversial “Liver King” and Spartan race founder Joe DeSena…
…to peaceful backwoods, unschooling, off-grid gardeners, and homemakers (including my children’s wilderness survival instructors and my own wife Jessa)…
…to outside-the-box thinking fitness icons like Kelly and Juliet Starrett, Paul Chek, and the Vega “Fat Fueled Family”…
…to a host of other entrepreneurs, billionaires, single moms, and dads, my own dear parents, pastors, education experts, legacy builders, wealth managers, and many others who have created impactful, happy, and resilient children…
…I’ve finally put the finishing touches on a 600+ page parenting book that is the most comprehensive parenting book that exists. It’s like the blueprint for raising a human.
It’s called Boundless Parenting: Tools, Tactics & Habits of Great Parents, and it’s kind of like Tim Ferriss’s Tools of Titans or Tribe of Mentors, but for parenting. In other words, this is a book that takes the best of the best of raising babies, children, and teenagers, decoding discipline, planning education, creating legacy, meaning and purpose, diet, nutrition, fitness, tackling the in-and-out daily nitty-gritty of being a successful parent with practical tips from the trenches and tons more.
Basically, it’s the book I wish I had existed when I first became a parent, and thank goodness, Boundless Parenting is now officially done and has been unleashed on the world.
This book has been a labor of love, and I'm beyond excited to see it finally come to fruition.
You can pick up a copy of my brand-new parenting book here. And if you like it, I would love to hear your review on Amazon.

::: Unlock Your Body's Full Potential with Ketone-IQ (And Save 20%) :::
Are you tired of feeling sluggish and unfocused? Do you want to perform your best, both mentally and physically, every day? If so, you're in luck because I have the ultimate biohacking secret for you: Ketone-IQ™️.
Ketones are a natural energy source that is 28% more efficient than glucose alone. These magic molecules have a host of scientifically proven benefits, from mental clarity and athletic recovery to improved endurance and appetite control.
However, not all ketones are created equal. Research shows that ketones deliver the most benefits at a range of 1.0–2.5 millimolar (mmol) per liter of blood.
If you're looking to reach these elevated ketone levels, ketone salts won't do the trick (not to mention the high sodium content). Ketone esters, on the other hand, can quickly raise ketone levels and create a spike of 3–5 mmol. But beware: this spike is often followed by a steep crash and major burnout.
Unlike other ketone supplements, Ketone-IQ is pure R-1,3 butanediol, which is a ketone diol.
R-1,3 butanediol is the ultimate precursor to D-BHB, the ketone molecule that the body naturally produces. When you consume it, it's converted directly into D-BHB with almost 100% efficiency, making it the most easily absorbed and utilized form of ketones available.
With Ketone-IQ, you can enjoy a smoother, longer-lasting energy boost that propels you into that optimal range where your body feels and performs its best. No crashes, no spikes—just a wave of clean energy without sugar, caffeine, or salt. Take a shot of Ketone-IQ when you need to re-energize and feel the ketone magic flow.
If you’re ready to unlock your body’s full potential with the best ketone supplement available, I’ve got a special discount for you. Click here to save 20% on your order of Ketone-IQ with code BGL.
