Krush in the Kitchen Recipe Roundup: Week 5
This past week on #KrushintheKitchen we launched our college edition! Say hello to #KrushCollege. We’ll be sharing health tips that boost immunity, minimal ingredient recipes, on-the-go snacks and cooking basics to infuse lifelong wellness and more confidence in the kitchen.
Highlights of this week’s recipes include learning how to make Homemade Cinnamon Walnut Mylk, which you can watch here. Nut Mylks are an amazing alternative to dairy. They lighten your system, making breathing easier, because your body will produce less mucous after you eliminate dairy.
Staying in the theme of making homemade versions of items you might typically buy, are Michelle’s Cacao Banana Oat Bars, which you can learn how to make here. This is the time to make a plan for how to lower your body burden and incorporate small steps into your routine for setting yourself up for success. The only way to manage energy and weight is to have a plan. Snacks can be a part of that plan because you can make snacks that are low in sugar and high in fiber.
Find this week’s featured recipes below, and follow us on IG for the others highlighted in our profile here! We will be sharing recipes each week so tell your friends & family to sign up for our newsletter on our website! (Just scroll all the way to the bottom :)) And, don’t forget to show us how you’re using Krush in your kitchen!
Nut Butter Stuffed Dates
Why we love: Dates have an amazing natural sweetness that can satisfy any sweet tooth craving while avoiding all processed sugars that burden your body. Use any nut butter you have on hand, which are great for healthy fats that line the gut and boost and protect the brain. A great midday snack or healthy dessert!
Serves 2
- 3 dates (preferably Medjool as they are softer and larger)
- 3 teaspoons nut butter (peanut, almond, cashew, sunflower)
- Sprinkle of cinnamon
- Sprinkle of sea salt
Cut dates down the middle, but don’t puncture the bottom. Make little pockets that can be stuffed. Add 1 teaspoon of nut butter per date, sprinkle with cinnamon and sea salt and enjoy!
Pineapple Acai Bowl
Why we love: We use a 100% organic and unsweetened acai to create our base for bowls. Acai is high in antioxidants, which fight free radicals that can cause disease. Use the shell of the pineapple as a bowl to up your Insta worthy acai pics!
Serves 1
- 2 packets unsweetened frozen acai
- 1 oz coconut water
- 1 oz orange juice
Optional toppings:
- 1/4 cup granola
- 1/4 cup pineapple, diced
- 1/4 of an apple, diced
- 2 tablespoons blueberries
- 1 tablespoon dark chocolate chips
Combine acai, coconut water and orange juice in a blender and blend until smooth and creamy. Pour into bowl and top with desired toppings.
*If using a pineapple as the bowl, cut a pineapple in half. Remove the fruit from one half and use to top acai bowl while using the hollowed out shell as the bowl for the acai.
