Ingredients:
1 cup (250 mL) frozen organic raspberries
1 cup (250 mL) ice
5 g PGX fiber blend
3/4 cup (185 mL) water
2 tbsp (30 mL) hemp seed
1 packet stevia
2 tbsp (30 mL) high alpha whey protein
Directions:
1. Place all ingredients into a blender and blend until smooth. You may need to stir the ingredients a few times for a more consistent texture.
2. Portion equally into 2 bowls.
Makes 2 cups (500 mL).
Crispy Kale Chips
Kale chips make a perfect replacement for potato or corn chips when you are having a craving. One serving (2 cups/500 mL) of these crispy delights and you are consuming 300 mg of calcium, or the equivalent of a full cup (250 mL) of milk. Kale has lower levels of oxalic acid, allowing its calcium to be more bioavailable than spinach.
Ingredients:
2 heads (10 cups/2.5 L) green curly kale, washed, large stems removed, torn into bite size pieces
'Cheese' Coating:
1 cup (250 mL) cashews, (soaked 2 hours)
1 cup (250 mL) sweet potato, grated
1 lemon, juiced (about 4 tbsp/60 mL)
2 tbsp (30 mL) nutritional yeast
1 tbsp (15 mL) honey
1/2 tsp (2.5 mL) grey sea salt or pink rock salt
2 tbsp (30 mL) filtered water
Directions:
1. Place kale in a large mixing bowl.
2. Blend the rest of the ingredients in a blender or food processor until smooth and thick. You may have to open the lid and scrape down the sides to ensure proper mixing.
3. Pour over kale and mix thoroughly with your hands to coat the kale. You want this mixture to be really glued on to the kale.
4. Place kale onto parchment paper and dehydrate for 6 hours at 115 degrees F. You’ll need to use two trays. If you don't own a dehydrator, set your oven to 150 °F (65 °C) and dehydrate for 2.5 to 3 hours.
5. Remove and store in a dry airtight container.
Makes about 6 cups (1.5 L).
