Hemp Seed Nuts
You Make Me Sooooo Happy!
Ok, enough rhyming. But seriously. I love these. Just TWO tablespoons provides me with 11 grams of protein and 2 grams of Omega 6/3’s. They are soft and tasty…and I put them in EVERYTHING. Lately, my favorite thing to do is slice up some bananas, rolls them in hemp seeds, drizzle with agave, and eat! Yum. I also love to put them in my smoothies for an added protein boost. They are also deliciously nutty in salads…along with my ground flax seeds, raw walnuts, and raw sunflower seeds. You can also use them in baked goods…Dreena Burton uses them quite a bit in her cookbooks. The uses are endless…and that’s not even including hemp nut butter, hemp seed oil, hemp protein!
For those of you that are concerned…NO, you cannot get high by eating hemp seeds. 😉 For more detailed info, check out Living Harvest’s website.
Nutiva is a great brand, as well as Manitoba Harvest (see comments for 20% discount code for Happy Foody readers!) and Living Harvest (I especially like Living Harvest’s hemp milk).
Creamy Cucumber Soup
This is a refreshing, raw soup with a savory flavor. I served it up with sprouted bread topped with hummus. This recipe makes quite a bit…3-4 cups (full blender)…so if it’s just you, you might want to cut it in half. I found this on Gone Raw…here is another version of cucumber soup to try as well.
- 2 large cucumbers, peeled and sliced
- 1 cup of freshly juiced celery juice
- 1 avocado
- 1/4 – 1/2 cup olive oil (since there was already an avocado in it, I just used a splash)
- 1 lemon, juiced
- 1 tablespoon Nama Shoyu (or soy sauce)
- 1 tablespoon Apple cider vinegar
- ½ teaspoon Cayenne pepper
- 1 teaspoon agave nectar or yacon syrup
- 1 tablespoon mesquite powder, optional
- Celtic sea salt, to taste
- chives, chopped for topping
Place all ingredients in blender and blend until smooth. Top with with scallions, cilantro, tomatoes, sprouts, and/or more avocado….yum yum!
Pineapple Cashew Quinoa Stir-Fry
If you liked Vegan with a Vengeance by the Post Punk Kitchen’s Isa Chandra Moskowitz…you must check out her newest collaboration, Veganomicon. I checked it out from the library this week and have been really excited to try a few recipes. I chose the Pineapple Cashew Quinoa Stir-Fry….and OH MY WORD. I could not be happier. It was so delicious…I was in foody heaven. The flavors just popped. Plus, I LOVED the quinoa (pronouned “keen-wah”) with this instead of rice. The quinoa seed is high in protein, calcium, iron, lysine, vitamin E and B vitamins. It contains almost a perfect balance of all eight essential amino acids needed for tissue development in humans. This makes the protein in quinoa a “complete protein”. If you’re not currently eating quinoa…you should start. It’s so versatile…we just ate it for breakfast the other day!
I did modify a few things here and there…but that’s the great thing about stir-fry. You can use whatever you have on hand. We didn’t have the cashews, the hot pepper, or the mirin…it would be even better with them! I hope you enjoy this as much as we did.
Gluten-free.
30 minutes.
Serves 4-5
Here is what Isa says about it:
Quinoa, the high-protein South American grain, is delicately flavored by being cooked in a little pineapple juice, then it’s the base for this colorful and speedy stir-fry featuring crisp veggies, fresh ginger, and crunchy cashews. Make the quinoa a day or two in advance and store it in the fridge and you’ll be able to put this stir-fry together in a snap for an easy weeknight dinner. It’s a meal in itself, or serve alongside any marinated and grilled tempeh.
Quinoa:
1 cup quinoa, well rinsed and drained
1 cup pineapple juice (optional…you can just double the water)
1 cup cold water
1/4 t soy sauce
Stir-fry:
4 oz. cashews, raw and unsalted
3 T olive oil
2 scallions, sliced thinly
2 cloves garlic, minced
1 hot red chili, sliced into thin rounds (optional!)
1/2 inch piece ginger, peeled and minced
1 red bell pepper
2 cups snow peas
1 cup mushrooms
1/2 cup fresh basil leaves, rolled and sliced into thin shreds
2 T finely chopped fresh mint
2 cups fresh pineapple chunks
3 T soy sauce
1/2 cup veggie broth
1 T mirin (Japanese sweet rice wine)
Prepare the quinoa first: Combine the quinoa, juice, water, and soy sauce in a medium size pot. Cover and place on high heat and bring to a boil. Stir a few times, then lower the heat to medium low, cover and cook for 12-14 minutes until all the liquid has been absorbed and the quinoa appears “plumped” and slightly translucent. Uncover, fluff and set aside.
Prepare the stir-fry: Use the largest skillet you have (or a wok). Have all your ingredients chopped and easily within reach. Place the cashews in the dry pan and heat over low heat, stirring them until lightly toasted, 4-5 minutes.
Remove the cashews from the pan, raise the heat to medium, and add the oil, scallions, and garlic. When the garlic starts to sizzle, add the sliced chili pepper and ginger. Stir-fry for about 2 minutes, then add the bell pepper and peas. Stir-fry for another 3-4 minutes, until the bell pepper is softened and the peas are bright green. Add the basil and mint and stir for another minute before adding the pineapple and quinoa.
In a measuring cup, combine the soy sauce, veggie stock, and mirin. Pour over the quinoa/veggie mixture. Stir to incorporate completely and coat it. Continue to stir-fry for 10-14 minutes, until the quinoa is very hot. Serve with lime wedges and additional soy sauce to season individual servings to taste.
Tips:
- It’s critical that you use all fresh ingredients (herbs, ginger, veggies) in this. That is where the flavor comes from!
- Pay close attention to the timing…so that you don’t end up with stir-fry mush. The CRISPNESS of the veggies is what makes it great.
- I always try to make twice as much quinoa so I can save the other half for another meal…it makes it so much easier!
- If you’re not a vegetarian, this is a great dish to add chicken or shrimp to.
- If you’re in a hurry, hit a deli or grocery store’s salad bar (or produce section) for pre-cut pineapple chunks.
- For a truly gorgeous dish, use a blend of the white quinoa and the red inca variety with cooks up to a deep russet color.
Mango Hedgehogs
Bella LOVES it when we have “mango hedgehogs”. These cute little fruity animals are made by slicing off the 2 sides of the mango opposing the core, scoring them almost to the skin in a grid-like fashion, and “flipping” them inside out. Sprinkle a little lime on top for some kick…and dig in. Literally. Mangoes are meant to be a messy food…pick them up with your hands and eat the soft flesh right off the skin with your mouth. Yes, you will get messy and drippy, but that is part of the fun.
You can also freeze mango chunks for a delicious mango/pineapple/banana/almond milk tropical smoothie. Unfortunately, I have recently discovered that I am allergic to mangoes….even though I used to eat them. Booo hoo! So, I will live vicariously through my daughter. Eat away, little one. Yum!
Oatmeal Embellished
I have delightful early memories of my mom making big batches of oatmeal for all five of her children. Maybe that’s why I love it so. Besides having happy memories, oatmeal has many wonderful qualities:
- With a low glycemic index oatmeal is assimilated slowly, keeping sugar levels stable.
- Oatmeal is thought to increase milk levels for breastfeeding mothers.
- Insoluble fiber’s cancer-fighting properties are due to the fact that it attacks certain bile acids, reducing their toxicity.
- Oats are a good source of many nutrients including vitamin E, zinc, selenium, copper, iron, manganese and magnesium. Oats are also a good source of protein.
- Lowers cholesterol
There are so many ways to prepare your bowl of oatmeal…but my favorite way is to turn it into a “power breakfast” with lots of embellishments. Oatmeal has never tasted so good! Here is the buffet of deliciousness that I put out for toppings…and yes, I add ALL of them!
- Walnuts
- Raisins
- Ground flax seeds
- Wheat germ
- Bananas
- Apples
- Agave nectar
- Almond milk
- Hemp seeds
I used to put brown sugar on top…but realized that I was completely wrecking the nutritional value by putting that on. Brown sugar is just white processed sugar that has been colored brown…don’t be deceived 🙂 Agave or stevia are much better choices. Of course, no sweetener would be even better…and by adding bananas, you can do that. They’re so sweet! Adding all of these nutritional powerhouses turn your regular ‘ol oatmeal into an amazing treat!
Food by Design
My lovely friend, Liz, pointed me to this really cool listing of how whole foods align with our body. It’s been passed all around the web, but I’m sure that you will love it. Isn’t God completely amazing?
“You are what you eat, so eat well. A stupendous insight of civilizations past has now been confirmed by today’s investigative, nutritional sciences. They have shown that what was once called “The Doctrine of Signatures” (an ancient European philosophy that held that plants bearing parts that resembled human body parts, animals, or other objects, had useful relevancy to those parts, animals or objects) was astoundingly correct. It now contends that every whole food has a pattern that resembles a body organ or physiological function and that this pattern acts as a signal or sign as to the benefit the food provides the eater.”
A sliced Carrot looks like the human eye. The pupil, iris and radiating lines look just like the human eye…and science shows that carrots greatly enhance blood flow to and function of the eyes.
A Tomato has four chambers and is red. The heart is red and has four chambers. All of the research shows tomatoes are indeed pure heart and blood food.
Grapes hang in a cluster that has the shape of the heart. Each grape looks like a blood cell and all of the research today shows that grapes are also profound heart and blood vitalizing food.
A Walnut looks like a little brain, a left and right hemisphere, upper cerebrums and lower cerebellums. Even the wrinkles or folds are on the nut just like the neo-cortex. We now know that walnuts help develop over 3 dozen neuron-transmitters for brain function.
Kidney Beans actually heal and help maintain kidney function and yes, they look exactly like the human kidneys.
Celery, Bok Choy, Rhubarb and more look just like bones. These foods specifically target bone strength. Bones are 23% sodium and these foods are 23% sodium. If you don’t have enough sodium in your diet the body pulls it from the bones, making them weak. These foods replenish the skeletal needs of the body.
Eggplant, Avocadoes and Pears target the health and function of the womb and cervix of the female – they look just like these organs. Today’s research shows that when a woman eats 1 avocado a week, it balances hormones, sheds unwanted birth weight and prevents cervical cancers. And how profound is this? …. It takes exactly 9 months to grow an avocado from blossom to ripened fruit. There are over 14,000 photolytic chemical constituents of nutrition in each one of these foods (modern science has only studied and named about 141 of them).
Figs are full of seeds and hang in twos when they grow. Figs increase the motility of male sperm and increase the numbers of sperm as well to overcom e male sterility.
Sweet Potatoes look like the pancreas and actually balance the glycemic index of diabetics.
Olives assist the health and function of the ovaries.
Grapefruit s, Oranges, and other citrus fruits look just like the mammary glands of the female and actually assist the health of the breasts and the movement of lymph in and out of the breasts.
Onions look like body cells. Today’s research shows that onions help clear waste materials from all of the body cells They even produce tears which wash the epithelial layers of the eyes.
Kids and Food
I have often been asked…”how do you get Bella to eat that?!” Bella has a great appetite and loves to eat…she also loves to eat healthy foods! We talk about eating healthy every day. Every time I feed her something, I talk about why it’s good for her body, what vitamins it has, where it came from, etc. Education is the first step!
Children will eat whatever they have been taught to eat…and also what they see the adults around them eating. I try to only eat foods that I want her to be eating as well. It doesn’t make sense to be chowing down on a candy bar and then turn around and tell your child, “no, you can have it because it’s very bad for you!”.
Now before you all freak out and tell me all about your “picky” child and how they will only eat hot dogs and cookies, please hear me out. Who is giving them the hot dogs and cookies? If the hot dogs and cookies were taken away, they might cry and scream and pout…but eventually they will get hungry…at which time you can start to offer healthier alternatives. Take away the junk and they will have the need to develop a taste for better food. I’ve read that it takes between 3-10 days for our taste buds to “re-program” themselves. Pretty soon, your child will actually be asking for healthy food! I have seen this first hand in our family. If I have the junk around, Bella will ask for it non-stop, but as soon as it is gone…she forgets about it. (Side note: I would warn about labeling your child. The more they hear you say they are a “picky eater”…they more they will internalize that and pretty soon, they truly ARE picky.)
Let’s start at the beginning. We skipped the rice cereal phase completely. Why? Many reasons. There is no “medical” reason to feed a baby cereal at the “magic” age of 6 months. Studies are actually showing that grains are not the best first food for a baby to digest. Plus, it’s setting them up for a lifetime love of high carb foods. We decided that it was much wiser to just start feeding Bella the foods that we were eating anyway. Her first food was avocado. Then banana. Then sweet potatoes. And so on. If we were having something chunkier, we just threw it in the blender or food processor and made it into a puree. I never made any “special” baby food to freeze and feed her later. She has always eaten what we are eating for any given meal. And she still eats what we eat. We go through “phases” … but for the most part we try to limit our dairy intake and we do not eat any meat. We are cutting back on traditional breads and now if we do decide to eat it, we will eat a sprouted bread such as Ezekiel sprouted breads. They also make a great sprouted english muffin.
If you aren’t used to feeding your children healthy foods, it might be hard to know where to start. I wanted to give you some ideas by sharing our typical day of meals/snacks.
Today, Bella ate:
Breakfast:
2 farm fresh local eggs cooked in olive oil
Apple slices
Green Lemonade
Morning snack:
Black mission figs
Mango (yes, she ate the whole thing! She loves them.)
Lunch:
Sweet potato
Blueberry skewers (blueberries on toothpicks)
Cucumber sticks (peeled cucumber cut into long sticks)
Garlic hummus
Afternoon snack:
Smoothie made of frozen strawberries, fresh pears, banana, almond milk, and hemp seeds.
Fudge ball (raw almond butter/dates/cocoa)
Supper:
Sweet Potato / Squash / Apple Soup
Toasted Ezekiel sprouted bread with agave nectar (This should be used sparingly…it’s still a “sugar” even though it’s plant based)
Bedtime snack:
Orange slices
Other food ideas:
Flax crackers (pre-made or homemade) and hummus
Organic corn chips and salsa/hummus
Any organic dried fruit
Avocado chunks drizzled with lemon juice
Ants on a Log (celery with raw almond butter/raisins)
Fruit…cut up and served in fun ways (on a toothpick, in the shape of a butterfly, etc)
Frozen bananas
“Freeze dried” Fruits and Veggies
Air popped popcorn
Raw almond butter and banana on sprouted bread
Sprouted english muffin cut into pieces drizzled with agave nectar
Apple “Cereal”: Small apple pieces drizzled with almond milk and cinnamon in a bowl
Oatmeal (either raw or cooked) with raisins, cinnamon, flax seeds, and agave nectar
Banana “Cake”: mashed banana in the shape of a circle topped with fresh blueberries
Try a new fruit during each trip to the store. Let your child pick it out so they are excited about it!
My philosophy about food and children…is that children should never be “made” to eat something. Food should never be used as a bribe, reward, or as a manipulative tool (i.e. “if you don’t eat that, you are going straight to bed!” or “if you stop crying, I’ll give you some candy!”). That is just setting them up for a lifetime of food related emotional issues. If a child is hungry, they should be offered a healthy snack or meal, regardless of what time it is. If Bella comes to me 1/2 hour before supper and asks to eat, I don’t tell her no…I give her a healthy snack. If she happens to be less hungry for her supper, then we just eat less at supper. I do feel that it’s important for children to be involved in the family meal time even if they aren’t hungry right then. It helps them learn that meal time is a time for more than just eating, but family connection/conversation as well. Conflicts over food seem to dominate many child/parent relationships, but food doesn’t have to be a battle. It can and should be a joyful thing…bringing families together, not tearing them apart with arguments. There should be boundaries set, but there also needs to be respect.
I’m always trying to come up with new ways to help make eating healthy a fun activity. I will sometimes change the names of food…instead of green lemonade, I will call it “Super Power Ballerina Drink”. Instead of telling her that there are hemp seeds in her smoothie, I just explain that we are putting in some extra protein and omega-3 oils to make her healthy and strong. Certain words will immediately turn a child off to a food…and I’m sure we all know what our child’s triggers are! 🙂 So make it fun. And don’t forget the treats.
While we do eat healthy foods the majority of the time, I also love to give her treats. For the last few days our treats have been the fudge balls (even though I don’t like to call them that because they truly are not “bad” for her). Sometimes we have a mini-bag of Sunspire Drops around…and she will get 2-3 as a treat. That tiny bag will last a couple of weeks! A raw food bar is considered a “treat”. And if we’re going all out, we might get some soy or rice milk ice cream. If we are out of the house, we might get ice cream or pizza as a treat, but Bella knows that it’s a TREAT, and not an every day thing.
What about the little things that you’ve let “slip” and now they’ve become a habit? We have several of these bad habits that over time she has come to expect. Mints at restaurants. She LOVES them. However, they are red and white. Red = Red #40. Can’t have that. 🙂 Instead, be prepared ahead of time. Stock up on little organic candies or suckers and when she sees the mint…whip out the healthier alternative. Yummy Earth is our favorite brand. (Hint: Buying them in bulk is WAY cheaper). This works well at the bank and grocery store too…when they practically force feed your child bad food (it’s one of my pet peeves when they ask if my child can have a sucker WHILE they are handing it to her).
I am a huge believer in organic foods for children. Their bodies are developing SO FAST and cells are multiplying and growing at an alarming rate. If you are giving them genetically foods coated in pesticides, fungicides, and herbicides that mess with the cell production…it’s not good. Their little bodies can’t handle the level of toxins like an adult can. So even if you don’t feel that you can afford organic for yourself, please consider feeding your children organic food.
There is a fabulous blog that I just discovered called Raw Baby Alex. It details a family’s journey into raw foods with their child. They share what he eats nearly every day and it’s a great inspiration. You don’t have to be a raw foodist to enjoy this blog…it will encourage you to find healthy choices for your child. Vive Le Vegan is a great cookbook for families as well.
As with anything, do the best you can with the resources you have. When you know better, you can do better 🙂 Take small steps towards improving your family’s diet and you will notice the changes in their behavior and their health. I promise. Start today…and don’t be discouraged! YOU are the one who can make this change for your child. YOU are the one who can set him/her up for a lifetime of health.
Figgy
I began my love affair with figs a few years back when I found them at my little corner grocery in Des Moines. They were dried calimyrna figs and they were so yummy! I recently came across some dried black mission figs and have fallen in love all over again. They are perfect for an after dinner snack when you need just a little something sweet…they have a gooey, fudgey consistancy with teeny tiny little crunchy seeds inside that you eat with it. They even come with a little “handle” (stem) to hold on to while you eat it. When you are looking for them, try to find them in bulk instead of in a bag that has been sitting on the shelf for awhile. Those tend to be very hard and dry instead of moist. Calimyrna figs will be a bit drier anyway, but are still gooey in the middle. I could literally eat an entire bag of these…but I try to resist 🙂 Bella loves them too…they’re a great mid-afternoon snack for a hungry toddler!
Food Choices
Disclaimer:
I’m quite passionate about many things in my life…and food is no exception. And so, with GREAT PASSION, I tell you these things. Please try not to be offended, I’m just going to tell it like it is. 🙂 While most of the things I will say are proven scientifically, I suppose it could be considered “opinion”. But that’s why it’s MY blog.
Most people in our country have no idea what they are doing to their bodies with the food they eat. And there is no excuse for it. It’s completely possible to eat nutritious whole foods…even on a very limited budget. It just takes time and a little planning. Social pressure and habits are hard to overcome…but it’s not impossible. I would assume that much of it is just ignorance…people will believe whatever the TV tells them and it tells them to eat gross stuff. Another pitfall is that most people will eat what they have been fed growing up. And in this current generation, parents/grandparents were victims of the microwave dinner era. It was the “if I can make it faster, I will…regardless of my health” era. And unfortunately, that has continued as their “food legacy”.
It really boggles my mind when I glance around at my fellow grocery shoppers (when I’m at a conventional grocery store) and realize that 95% of their carts are filled to the brim with Mountain Dew, fake cheese, white bread, kool-aid, sugar cereals and factory farmed meats. It makes me really sad, actually, that they don’t even realize that the reason why they can’t poop and have chronic colds and runny noses…is related to the food they eat. Food is powerful stuff. It can kill you or heal you. It’s up to you to decide if you want to kill yourself with the food you eat. Just because it’s on the shelf at the grocery store does not mean that it’s safe or proven to be good for you.
I think there should be a mandatory “label reading class” before anyone is allowed to enter a grocery store. I am a compulsive label reader, so it horrifies me to think that people grocery shop without reading labels. If you are not in the habit of reading what these corporations are putting into your food…you should start today. Go to your pantry and get rid of anything that has “partially hydrogenated oil” and/or “high fructose corn syrup”. Check your crackers (especially graham crackers) and breads and any other convenience foods. Then move onto anything that has pretty colors in it. Red #40. Blue #1. You get the idea. Then start looking for preservatives and get rid of those. They will try to confuse you and it will read “to maintain freshness”…but this is really just a nice way of saying “a gross chemical preservative that will make you sick”. Then go through again and get rid of anything that has “enriched flour” in it. Take anything with aspartame or splenda in it and throw it far, far away. Diet soda addiction? Please stop. Sugar free gum? Needs to go. Next, the pretend healthy “whole grain” stuff. If it has “whole grain” and the next ingredient is high fructose corn syrup, it’s not good. C’mon…whole grain Lucky Charms? That has to be the funniest one I’ve seen. Or how about whole grain corn dogs? What?! Sodium nitrate on a stick with a “healthy” coating.
You also have to be careful with “health” foods. Just because it says it’s organic does not mean it’s healthy for you. Those organic cheese puffs are not good :). The organic pop tarts? Oooh they are tasty, but don’t eat them every day! Be careful with dried fruit…most of it is coated with sugar/sugar water. Watch the sodium content of “healthy” boxed foods.
That will be a good start to getting your kitchen to where it needs to be so you don’t die. Am I overreacting? I don’t think so. Do just a little bit of research and you will see for yourself how our country is dying because of the food we eat. One of my personal favorites is the article, “How to Give Yourself Cancer in 5 Easy Steps”. The sad thing is…most people don’t care. You can tell them that all of the above ingredients will give them heart disease, colon cancer, liver problems, hormone problems…and they will dismiss it as “well, I’m alive today so I don’t care”. Or, “it’s just habit and it tastes good”. Or, “My kids won’t eat ‘healthy’ foods”. For those people, it will take a radical problem in their life to make a change. Their child will have to get diabetes for them to wake up. They will have to have a heart attack to realize that “oh, maybe I should cut back on the animal fats”. But if that’s what it takes…so be it.
For me, I choose to be proactive and take an active role in preventing disease. I want to fill my body with so many anti-oxidants, greens, and goodness that disease would have a really hard time finding me. It IS possible to reverse the effects of unhealthy eating. Think anti-oxidants!! Eating healthy foods is an investment…not a burden. Eating healthy foods is worth every penny you spend! If you really don’t know where to start…start here.
‘Eating healthy’ is a term that is debated over and over. No one can seem to agree on the best way to eat healthy. I feel that eating food that is ALIVE with nutrients…fresh fruits, veggies (especially GREENS!), sprouted grains… is the best way to maintain health and the studies will agree. But you’ll have to decide for yourself…and that’s the thing. It’s a decision. Whether you know it or not, you are making a decision every single day regarding your health. Regarding your children’s health.
Now, before anyone gets all crazy…please know that I am not perfect with my eating in any way shape or form. I am changing daily and making the best choices I can DAILY. Food is a very emotional and personal choice…and it’s probably the most difficult change one can make in their life. I have eaten candy bars. I have eaten LOTS of organic pop tarts. I’ve eaten all kinds of stuff that is bad for me. But in doing so, I have made the CHOICE to do so, and that is what this post is about…making choices. As long as the majority of your food choices are really good, you can have a few treats. I want people to learn and grow and expand their knowledge of what food can do.
One of the best pieces of advice I can offer is to first, get all of the “bad stuff” out of the house. Don’t have it near you … and you won’t be tempted. If you happen to want a sweet treat while you’re out, let it be that. A “treat”. Something that you indulge in with friends. Not an every day thing. Fill your house with nutritious (and delicious) foods and snacks…and start to re-train your body and mind to crave those healthy things. Your taste buds WILL change…you can do it!
Eat well and be happy!
Raw Cream of Wheat
Bella and I made this “raw cream of wheat” recipe this morning and it’s AMAZING! I found it on Gone Raw, but modified it a bit. I soaked the quinoa for about 12 hours and then drained them and put them in the fridge until morning…I probably needed to do it for a bit longer to get the full effect of sprouting them, but we’ll try that next time. We made a few modifications…
It was truly delicious.
Ingredients
- 3/4 cup Qunioa (soaked/sprouted) Adjust for consistency.
- 1 banana
- ¼ cup almond milk (to be truly raw, use homemade nut milk)
- Agave nectar (to taste)
- ½ teaspoon Cinnamon
- Salt to taste (Himalayan sea salts are best)
- Top with your favorite nuts and fresh berries (we added blueberries)
Happy Foody
