Cowboy Spice Rub
Did you know that chili peppers and chili powder can help reduce intestinal permeability? Ginger can help with motility and garlic can help reduce unwanted bacteria in the upper GI? Let’s make a probiotic spice rub that you can use while traveling or while at home as a marinade or to coat veggies in before fermenting. This also works really well on Kale chips.
Ingredients
Chill powder 3 T
Cacao nibs, crushed with a mortar and pestle 3 T
Carob (or cacao) infused pulse flakes 3 T
Maqui powder (optional but awesome) 2 T
Paprika 2 T
Mustard 1 T
Black pepper, coarsely ground 1 T
Coriander 2 t
Oregano 1 t
Ginger powder 1 t
Chipotle powder (couldn’t resist)1 t
Garlic powder 1 t
Optional: 10 capsules Megaspore (or less)
To make the Carob or Cacao Infused Dulse Flakes:
Add 1/4 C Dulse flakes and 1/4 C carob to a jar, shake to mix and leave for 24-48 hours at room temperature for the Dulse to soak up a bit of that yummy chocolatey flavour.
Optional – Shake your Dulse flakes through a sieve after they have infused to separate the loose cacao or carob powder. I did this because I wanted a more flakey texture.
Mixing Instructions:
Mix all the powders together. If you don’t have one of the ingredients SUBSTITUTE what you have in small amounts and taste to see if you like it.
If using Megaspore capsules you can simply empty them into the mixture and stir well. They should be stable at room temperature for several weeks, especially if you can keep it stored under vacuum that will be even better.
I keep mine in the fridge just in case OR throw it in my purse when going out or on the road/plane.

how do you use this?:)Please
Thank you
oh my gosh! Best question ever! So I guess I neglected to mention that in the recipe 🙂
I use mine for sprinkling on salads, particularly when I’m out, I use it in the kitchen as a marinade with lemon juice and a bit of flax oil and last but not least I use it on sprouted nuts that are about to be dehydrated. I’m sure you could find other ways to use it depending on what you like to eat. The one that I copied was some kind of coffee meat rub and to be honest I have no idea what a meat rub does 🙂 but I imagine you could use this to season tempeh or the like too :). Thank you for asking for clarification that helps me!
