Serves 2
Ingredients:
1 medium sweet potato
1 tablespoon organic unrefined coconut oil
1 can of low-sodium black beans
4 cups of fresh spinach
1 medium carrot
1 tablespoon of raw salted sunflower seeds
4 tablespoons of fresh salsa
Directions:
Preheat oven to 425 degrees Fahrenheit. Next, wash and chop sweet potato into small cubes. Evenly spread sweet spuds on a baking sheet and coat with coconut oil. Bake sweet potatoes for 15-20 minutes or until sweet spuds are evenly cooked, and then transfer sweet potatoes into a small bowl. Meanwhile, open, drain and rinse black beans from the can and transfer into a small bowl. Next, wash spinach, and place into small bowl. Wash and shred carrot, and place into small bowl. By placing each ingredient into separate bowls allows each person to customize their own meal! To create the "Sweet Potato Black Bean Bowl" , add the following ingredients together into a bowl to serve one person, 2 cups spinach, ½ cup sweet potato, ½ cup black beans, a small handful of shredded carrots, sprinkle with sunflower seeds and add a dollop of salsa. Use the remaining ingredients to create an additional bowl to serve the second individual enjoying this meal.
Vegetable Noodles with Creamy Avocado Sauce
Serves 2
Ingredients:
2 large cucumber
2 tablespoons raw salted sunflower seeds
2 medium very ripe avocados
1 pinch of sea salt
1/2 lemon, juiced
2 tablespoons of water
A handful of fresh cherry tomatoes
Rosemary seed crackers, or any cracker of choice!
Directions:
First, wash and dry all vegetables. Then, using a julienne peeler, you will create "noodles" from freshly washed cucumber. To do this, simply peel layers of the vegetable in a continuous motion, using the julienne peeler. Place all peeled noodles into a medium bowl and set aside. In a small blender or food processor, add the avocado (skin and pit removed), lemon juice, sea salt and water and blend until creamy. You can make the sauce by hand as well simply by adding all ingredients into a small to medium bowl and blending together with a fork. Spread the avocado sauce on the center of your plate, and add a large handful of vegetables noodles on top. Sprinkle noodles with sunflower seeds, then add tomatoes and crackers on the side!
