*3 Ingredient Hemp Seed "Nutella"

I wanted to create a dessert type spread that was similar to the flavor of Nutella, but making it nut-free using hemp seeds. This turned out AMAZING! Julien was eating it right out of the jar and could've eaten the whole thing. A delicious spread for a sandwich, add it to a smoothie or even oatmeal!
Yield: A little less than 1 cup
You will need:
-1cup hemp seeds
-1 heaping tablespoon raw cocoa/carob powder
-2 tablespoons date paste/maple syrup
-2 tablespoons water
Directions:
Using a high speed blender, blend all the ingredients together until nice and smooth (this may take some time) and store in an airtight container in the fridge.

Kelp Noodle Sushi Wrap

Soak the kelp noodles in warm water for 15 minutes and drain once ready (I cut the noodles into smaller noodles using scissors) 2. Mix all the ingredients together with as much of the dressing that you desire 3. Wrap the noodle mix, along with any other vegetables you would like into a sushi roll. Continue this process until you are...

Mmmm... My house smells like heaven! Made some homemade Oaties, which were inspired by Jamba Juice. When I was down in Maui, I saw these little gems in Jamba Juice and was curious to see what we're the ingredients. I looked them up online and then was determined to make a healthier version as soon as I got back to Calgary. Such a delicious treat in the go and you can add whatever you like to them! Enjoy! Yield: 1 dozen cookies You will need: -2 mashed ripe bananas -1/2 cup apple sauce -A dash of cinnamon, nutmeg and ground ginger -2 teaspoons baking soda -1 cup oat flour -1 cup oats -3/4 cup dried apricots -3/4 cup dried mulberries -1/2 cup dried cranberries -1/4 cup dark chocolate shavings (or chips) Directions: 1. Preheat the oven to 350F 2. Mix all the ingredients together and place spoonfuls on a lined baking sheet 3. Bake for 15 minutes (or until edges just start to brown lightly). Voila! You've got Oaties!
