Marinated Collard Leaf Wraps

  • 5 medium to large collard leaves
  • 3 Tbs. lemon juice (about 1 lemon)
  • 1/2 tsp. Himalayan salt crystals or Celtic sea salt

 

Prepare the collard leaves by cutting off the stems at the base of the leaf, then take a small paring knife and carefully cut the thick bump of stem off the back of the leaf making it flusher to the leaf. This is to make the leaf flatter and easier to roll.

 

Mix the lemon and salt together in a large mixing bowl. Take one leaf at a time and coat it in the mixture. As you coat each leaf, place it in a covered lasagna pan to marinade overnight in the refrigerator or for several hours at room temperature until they are soft and tender. They can continue to marinade for up to 5 days in the refrigerator.

 

Dry the leaves well and use them to wrap all kinds of yummy pate¢s, mayo with avocado and tomato, etc….. Use your imagination!

Cool Cucumber-Spinach Soup

This is a well balanced soup because of the fat, fruit and chlorophyll content. It will easily serve as a light meal by itself.

1 cup purified water
2 medium-large cucumber
3 cups spinach (or other leafy greens like kale or mixed greens)
1 handful of basil leaves (about 15 leaves)
1 Tbl. fresh ginger with skin
1 1/2 lemons (5 tsp.) or 3 tsp. raw apple cider vinegar
1/2 apple or try another sweet fruit
1/2 tsp. Himalayan Salt Crystals
1/2 tsp. onion powder
1/2 tsp. garlic powder
1 small avocado
1 tsp. dried dill or 2 Tbl. fresh

Place everything except the avocado and dill in a blender and puree. Add the avocado and continue to blend on high until creamy. Put in a bowl and mix in dill. Top with crunchy dehydrated sunflower seeds or freeze dried peas.

   
Cucumber Tomato Surprise

 1 medium tomato, chopped
 1 small cucumber peeled in stripes and chopped (seeds removed if big)
 1 large avocado cut into cubes
 1 half of a lemon or lime squeezed
 1 half to 1 tsp. Himalayan Salt Crystals
 1 Tbs. of olive oil (optional for a richer flavor)

Mix everything together and enjoy!

Fruit Sorbet

2 cups frozen fruit of choice… (cantelope, honeydew, bananas, mangoes, pineapples…anything sweet).

Using a champion Juicer:
1. Place the blank plate in the juicer.
2. Push the fruit through until the soft serve comes out the end of the juicer.
3. Enjoy!

Using a food processor:
1. Cut the fruit into small chunks or shred using the shredding blade on your food processor.
2. Place the fruit in the food processor bowl with the S blade in place.
3. Puree until soft and smooth like a soft serve.
4. Add a tiny bit of water if necessary to get the blade to move properly.
