Krush in the Kitchen Recipe Roundup: Week 7
This past week on #KrushintheKitchen we made all sorts of homemade versions of items typically bought in the store. When you make something like Lemony Chickpea Hummus or Red Wine Vinaigrette at home you are eliminating all of the excessive sodium and processed sugar that can often be snuck into the pre-made versions. Not to mention all the plastic you can eliminate when making from scratch!
As the weather warms, we’re also looking forward to turning our winter beverages into iced beverages! Fran showed how to make an Iced Matcha Latte. Matcha is high in chlorophyll which aids in detox. Warmer weather means more cravings for cold-pressed juices and smoothies as well, and there’s no better time to be packing in those vitamins and nutrients.
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!
Avocado Toast
Why we love: Healthy fats = happy gut = happy life! Avocado toast for breakfast is our favorite way to incorporate healthy fats into our morning. We like to add apples for fiber and pectin; hemp seeds for healthy omegas; and cilantro for detoxification of heavy metals from the bloodstream.
Serves 1
- 2 slices toasted gluten free bread (We like Happy Camper)
- 1/2-1 avocado
- Extra virgin olive oil
- Sea salt
- 1/2 freshly squeezed lemon
Toppings
- Hemp seeds
- Green apple
- Raisins
- Optional: fried egg
Pour a generous amount of olive oil on the toast, then slice 1/2 an avocado and place on toast, followed by a squeeze of lemon, raisins and diced green apple. Top with hemp seeds, cilantro and a pinch of sea salt.
Homemade Nut Butter
Why we love: More yummy healthy fats for continued brain gut connection. We like to add walnuts into our nut butter for their omega 3s and high levels of antioxidants. This is a blank slate for so many added flavorings like vanilla, cinnamon, dates, honey or hemp seeds!
- 1 cup roasted or raw almonds
- 1/2 cup roasted or raw walnuts
- Pinch of sea salt
Optional add-ins:
- 1 tsp vanilla
- 1 tsp cinnamon
- 2-3 dates
- 2 tbsp hemp seeds
- 1 tbsp honey
Place nuts and pinch of sea salt in blender or food processor and blend for about 3 minutes or until reached desired consistency. Pause blending occasionally to scrape down sides. If adding any optional add-ins, do so after having reached desired consistency and then give another quick blend. Store in air tight container.
