This recipe is an adaption from one of my beloved nutrition and therapeutic cooking instructors at Bastyr University, Jennifer Adler. It's tweaked for a fall flare and was created for a lifestyle design conference workshop for lady entrepreneurs (RebelleCon) who want to make nutrition delicious and sustainable in their busy lives.
An indulgent, easy-to-make, super food, homemade cocoa bark you'll want in your recipe collection. I make variations of this recipe depending on what I'm craving or inspired by at that time, like this recipe which has an autumn flare.
I recommend doubling or tripling this recipe to have a light but filling summer breakfast ready to go. They keep up to 3 days.
This one goes out to all of my clients who tell me they don't cook, but they will assemble! I crafted this dish earlier this summer, just trying to use up what was in my fridge. The lentils were meant for a brownie recipe 'experiment'. Which fear not, I did realize after cooking the lentils and tasting a bit of their rooted earthy flavor, it probably wasn't going to work in a gluten free brownie dish! They landed here instead and I'm so glad for it.
Ridiculously rich in antioxidants, vibrant, tangy, and gingery, this smoothie has all the good stuff. It'll hit the spot just right on a hot, summer mid-morning or afternoon when you want to cool off and stay light. Add a splash more of orange juice or your favorite kombucha to thin it out if it's too thick.
Once you see how incredibly easy it is to make your own homemade nut milk, you may never go back to the store-bought boxed milks again! The pre-packaged milks on the shelves are mostly water and have unnecessary, added ingredients like carrageenan, sugar, natural flavors, and others to make them last longer on the shelf. All you really need is nut butter and water. That's it. The nutrient density is higher and the flavor is richer. So as long as you have almond, cashew, or other nut butters on hand, you always have a simple, homemade nut milk 5 minutes away.
Steel cut oats make a wonderful warming breakfast, especially in the colder months when we need something substantive to kick off our day. Use this as a template for oats with your choice of fat, nuts/seeds, and fruit. The dates provide a nice natural sweetness and additional iron. Feel free to add cinnamon, nutmeg, or other spices you enjoy as well.
