**Nutty Oat Bliss Balls

I love creating energy bites filled with nutritious things sitting in my pantry. Energy Bites are awesome because you can toss in a food processor all your favorite flavours with dates and voila!

Yield: 20 balls
You will need:
-2 cup raw oats
-1/4 cup chia seeds
-26 pitted medjool dates
-2/3 cup peanut butter/almond butter
-1/2 cup Tahini
Directions:
Blend all the ingredients together in a food processor until dough forms and roll into balls. Store in airtight container in the freezer.
*Scrape down the sides of the food processor throughout blending to ensure everything gets broken down

Kelp Noodle Sushi Wrap

Image
I love the crunchy and juicy texture of kelp noodles. Instead of eating them in a salad, I thought I would create a sushi wrap with them. I also made another wrap using swiss chard and it was just as perfect. I think I ate probably 7 of the sushi rolls! Yum! Yield: 1 serving You will need: -1 1/2-2 packages of kelp noodles -1 cup sliced cherry tomatoes -3 chopped up green onions -1 cup sliced cremini mushrooms -Any other vegetables your heart desires -7-10 nori sheets Dressing: -6 tablespoons of tahini -3 tablespoons of apple cider vinegar -5 tablespoons of lemon juice -1/2 cup of parsley/cilantro -6-7 tablespoons of water Directions: 1. 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...

Yasmines' Bandara Salad

Image
So every time we head to Cactus Club for dinner, I'm always scoping out their salads. The one salad that I'm sure you could all agree with me as a top contender would be their Bandara Salad. So I have to admit that this healthier salad variation was inspired by Cactus Club. I wanted to put a twist on the noodles and the dressing and I wanted to add edamame as the protein addition instead of the meat or any eggs. We actually had this huge bowl of goodness for dinner and Hass gave it a two thumbs up! Woohoo! Yield: 1 HUGE salad You will need:  Salad: -5 cups of Mixed Greens -1 head of Romaine Lettuce (chopped) -1/2 Red Bell Pepper (chopped) -1/2 Yellow Bell Pepper (chopped) -2 sprigs of Green Onion (chopped) -1 Carrot (grated) -8 Medjool Dates (pitted and diced up) -1 large Cucumber (spiralized to imitate the noodles) -1 small pint of Cherry Tomatoes (diced) -1 cup Corn -1 cup Edamame Beans Directions: Mix all the ingredients in a large bow...

**Banana Nut Pudding

Image
This is another take on an overnight oats but instead of oats, I used flax seeds. I bought a huge bag of flax seeds from Costco for my dehydrated crackers and have been thinking of other ways to use it. I enjoyed this mix and I plan to make the same recipe using various nut and seed butters for a different flavor profile. Yield: 1 serving You will need: -1 tablespoon tahini -1 mashed banana -1/4 cup almond milk (or any milk) -2 tablespoons of ground flax seed Directions: 1. Mix all the ingredients together and place in fridge overnight 2. Top with whatever you like in the morning and enjoy! (I topped mine with carob chips and banana)
