Collard Wraps

Here is a fun wrap that you can do when you want something crunchy and yummy!

Collard greens are not always easy to find, you can replace them with a large lettuce leaf.

Gently de-stem the leaf

Make a raw pesto (I will add the recipe later on)

spread it on the middle of the leaf

 

Add any veggies you like

start with a bed of greens, young arugula, kale, lettuce...

add shredded carrots, tomatoes, red pepper, cucumber, avocado, onions...

wrap it up!

and enjoy!

Spaghetti Squash

This is the Squash season and I wanted to share with you the decadent squash!
This squash is almost sugary and light in his consistency, that makes it my favorite squash!

A Spaghetti squash is light yellow, long and pretty heavy for its size.

There is different technique to cook it:

You can cut it in half and cook it in the oven for about 50 min

or

you can cook it in the microwave 

(I know there is lots of negative point of view with this microwave!)

Anyway!
To cook it in the microwave,

poke your knife few time all around the squash.

Put in a micro-able dish with a tiny bit of water

Cook for 5min / pounds

it must be almost soft when cooked.

Cut it in half

(Warning it will be hot!)

Scoop the seeds

Then grate the fibers with a fork

And that's it!

You have a plate of  healthy Spaghetti Squash!

You can add some garlic, parsley or your favorite tomato sauce!

Enjoy!

Pumpkin season!

How to use your pumpkin raw!

1) Juice it!

2 cups of sliced pumpkin, 2 carrots, 2 apples, ginger and cinnamon to taste

makes a tasty and delicious seasonal juice!

2) Make a raw pumpkin tart

with raw coconut whipped cream!

The texture of this recipe is almost like an apple sauce; I would recommend either to freeze it a little bit or add chia seeds, or avocado or durian fruits to get a harder consistency.

3) Use the pumpkin seeds to make a seed pate:

Wash and dry the seeds; dehydrate them over night.

Later on soak a cup of pumpkin seeds with 1/2 cup of almonds

drain, mix together with some garlic, 1/4 cup of sundried tomatoes, 2 tbsp of olive oil , 2 tbsp of hemp protein, 1 tbsp of lemon juice, a pinch of salt and some herbs.

4) Make some crakers and other small pumpkin carrot cakes

5) A raw pumpkin soup...

6) Some pumpkin cookies...
