Chocolate Shake/Milk (GF Vegan)

 Just had the most delicious drink/chocolate milk for dessert. Made up the recipe myself
You can change the ingredients/quantities to your liking:

1 TBSP organic no sugar/salt added (just peanuts) peanut butter ( or can use any nut butter)
1 and 1/2 TBSP raw cacao powder (or regular cocoa powder - raw is MUCH better tasting though! )
1 cup rice milk (can use any non dairy milk)
1/4 vanilla bean insides scraped out...
1/8 tsp cinnamon
1 tsp maple syrup or honey (or to your desired sweetness)
pinch of sea salt
3 ice cubes

***Add a ripe banana if you like, or use cashew milk, nut milk or coconut milk. This would all make it thicker and creamier.

Add all ingredients to a blender, blend up and enjoy! Probably could shake it up in a mason jar really well also. It was delicious!

Red Pepper Bruschetta (Gluten Free and Vegan)

This was delicious! You could make a great sandwich by adding a spread of hummus and this bruschetta topping together. A healthy vegan protein packed lunch!

Gluten Free/Vegan Bread brushed with olive oil and toasted in the oven til crisp (make when the bruschetta topping is complete)

My Gluten Free Vegan Mini Pizza Crusts

Spicy Cheezy Kale Chips Gluten Free/Vegan

...these taste like Doritoes, but are so much healthier!

***You will need a dehydrator for this recipe*** (you also need to soak the nuts overnight before you start this recipe)

2 small bunches of kale  (we prefer the curly kale for chips) washed, ribs taken out and air dried

The rest of the ingredients go in an industrial high powered blender (we have a Blendtec)

1 cup raw unsalted macadamia nuts (soaked overnight in fridge and drained)

1/2 cup raw unsalted cashews (soaked overnight in fridge and drained)

1-2 TBSP olive oil

1 to 1 and 1/2 red bell pepper roughly chopped

1 lemon juiced

sea salt to taste

1 to 1 and 1/2 jalapeno pepper

1/4 tsp ground cayenne

3 small cloves garlic peeled and minced

1/4  of a small white onion

Put bell peppers in blender first (this helps to process ingredients better) then add the rest of the ingredients. Blend til completely smooth.

Toss cheeze sauce like salad dressing with the dried kale make sure each piece is coated as evenly as possible (I find your hands work best for this job)

Put on dehydrator racks at 110-115 degrees til kale chips are crispy, usually takes overnight to 24 hours depending how dry you want them, then enjoy!
