This recipe is adapted from the How Not To Die cookbook. It is sooo good. I’ve even served it with coconut whipped cream for an extra indulgent treat. You won’t know it is packed with so many wonderful foods!

*To make it more blood sugar friendly for those who need it, remove the avocado, only add a tiny bit of honey/maple syrup, and use some full fat coconut milk as fat helps balance blood sugar.

Ingredients:

1/2 ripe avocado

1.5 cups of organic strawberries (if using frozen, thaw first)

3 Tbsp raw cacao powder

2 Tbsp raw cashew butter (any nut butter will work)

1/3 cup honey or maple syrup

1.5 cups Cashew Milk

1/4 cup organic chia seeds

Optional: scoop of unflavored collagen or protein powder

Cacao nibs, fresh strawberries or raspberries for serving

Directions: Blend all ingredients besides the chia seeds until very smooth. Add chia seeds and blend just until combined. Immediately pour into large mason jar and refrigerate 8 hours or overnight until set.

Green Drink (without a juicer)

The World’s Greenest Smoothie

green juice (without the juicer)

I make this when I buy a giant container of baby spinach and don’t finish it fast enough! I have a Vitamix but not a juicer. You could strain out the fiber to get legit juice (or use a juicer) but fiber is good stuff too!!

---

Ingredients:

5 cups loose packed organic baby spinach

1 head organic romaine lettuce

1/2 organic cucumber

Juice of 1 organic lemon

1.5 cups filtered water

2 stalks of organic celery

handful of ice

Optional: organic kiwi, pear, orange, or grapefruit, or apple

Directions:

Add water to your blender. Wash and tear the romaine (I use a twisting motion with my hands to tear it into thirds). Add spinach until the blender is full. Blend. Add cucumber, celery, lemon juice, and ice. Blend and taste. If you don’t love the fresh green flavor, add some fruit! Otherwise, enjoy!

O.G. Avocado Toast

Ingredients:

1 slice of toast (Simple Kneads is my favorite)

1/2 of a fresh avocado*

Thinly sliced organic cucumber

Everything bagel seasoning

Squeeze of lemon juice

Directions:

Toast the bread. Spoon the avocado flesh into a small bowl and mash with the lemon juice OR mash with a fork inside the avocado skin and top with lemon juice (I can’t be the only one who doesn’t like doing dishes). Spread avocado on the toast, add sliced cucumbers, and sprinkle on everything bagel seasoning!

---

*A trick to always have fresh avocados: I buy several at a time while they’re hard (unless it’s the rare occasion I get a perfectly fresh one at the store) and store a few in the fridge and a few on the windowsill in my kitchen. After usually 2 days at room temp, they are perfect and buttery smooth. As I eat the room temp avocados, I pull a new one out of the fridge to sit at room temp.
