**Raw Fruit Leather and Fruit and Veggie Chips

Image
When you have too much fruit and veggies in your fridge... Dehydrate some for a yummy alternative 👌 Love the change in texture! Amazing and healthy "fruit roll ups" too! Yield: As much as you want Fruit & Veggie Chips: -Any fruits and vegetables (cut up thin). I used: strawberry, watermelon, pineapple, cucumber (you also use apples, any other berries, cherry tomatoes, pears, snap peas, kale, etc.) Directions: 1. Lay all the cut of fruits and vegetables on dehydrator sheets and cook no higher than 118 degrees to ensure they stay raw 2. Dehydrating times may vary (8-15 hours). They are done dehydrating once the moisture is gone and they are at the chewiness you desire Fruit Leather: 1. Blend watermelon and strawberries together and spread over a Teflon sheet (1/4 inch thick) and place in your dehydrator at no higher than 118 degrees (to maintain raw) 2. Dehydrating times may vary (8-10 hours). When the top is dehydrated, flip the fruit leather onto another

**Banana Date Chew Smoothie Bowl

Dates are a staple in my house... I even have bags of dates in each if our cars :) I love adding them to anything... including nicecream. They give it such a nice chewy texture, like little caramels. If you know me... I can go on and on about dates and the love I share for them... but I'll stop here :) Yield: 1 serving You will need: -4 frozen bananas -3-4 dates -Toppings: rawnola, coconut chips, raw Chocolate peanut butter fudge Directions: 1. Blend the bananas together and throw in the dates towards the end, pulsing them in so they don't break down completely 2. Top with your favorite toppings and enjoy!

**Quick Quinoa Bake

Do you ever have leftover quinoa? Whenever I have some quinoa just sitting there, I whip up a quick batch of quinoa bakes. Honestly they are the easiest things to put together, especially if you want something tasty on the go. Great for breakfast, lunch, dinner, or even a snack. I hope you enjoy!

Preheat oven to 350F 2. Mix all the ingredients together. I split the amount in half and added regular peanut butter and raisins to half of the quinoa. In the other half, I added chocolate peanut butter (made from peanut flour) 3. Pour in ramekins and bake for 8-10 minutes 4. Top with anything you like  *Drizzle a little milk on top to give it an oatmea
