BREAKFAST - TROPICAL DREAMS SMOOTHIE
INGREDIENTS
2 cups coconut water
2 bananas
2 cups spinach
2 dates (pitted)
2 cups frozen mango
1/2 tsp hemp seeds
Add all ingredients to a blender, and blend until smooth.
LUNCH - EASY TOMATO SOUP
INGREDIENTS
the juice of one orange
1/2 cup sweet cherry tomatoes
1 can diced tomatoes
1/4 cup sun dried tomatoes (not packed in oil)
1/2 of a large red bell pepper
2 cloves garlic
1 large carrot
1 green onion
1/2 cup raw cashews
1/4 tsp salt
1/4 tsp black pepper
1/4 tsp crushed red pepper
5 - 7 fresh basil leaves (1/2 for use in high speed blender, 1/2 for garnish)
nutritional yeast for garnish if desired
Add all ingredients (use 1/2 basil leaves to blend, 1/2 for garnish) to a high speed blender that will produce steam* (like a Vitamix or a Blendtec). Blend on high for a few minutes until the soup is warm, and you can see some steam. You may need to use a tamper to get everything going initially. Serve once it reaches your desired temperature. Garnish with the rest of the fresh basil, more salt, pepper/crushed red pepper, and nutritional yeast.
*If you do not have a blender like this, simply blend until smooth and then pour into a large pot and heat on the stovetop until nice and warm.
DINNER - NACHOS
INGREDIENTS
tortilla chips of your choice
leftover queso dip from DAY 1
1 can refried beans
TOPPINGS
carrot (peeled)
1 green onion (chopped)
1 tbl pumpkin seeds
1/2 sweet potato (baked & cubed)
desired greens
1 jalapeno (chopped)
1/4 cup cilantro (chopped)
1/2 small avocado (cubed)
1/2 tomato (chopped)
1 small cucumber (chopped)
red cabbage (sliced)
juice of 1 lime
In a small sauce pan heat your desired amount of refried beans.
Place your leftover queso dip into a high speed blender and add 1 to 2 tablespoons of hot water to thin it out slightly and blend until warm. Adding this little bit of water not only will help warm it up, but will also thin it out so that you can drizzle the cheese over the nachos easily. If you do not have any leftover queso dip, you can just make a fresh batch, just head back to DAY 1 for the recipe.
On a plate arrange the toppings in this order making a mountain of nachos: greens then some tortilla chips, refried beans, thinned queso dip, carrots, red cabbage, cucumber, tomato, cilantro, green onion, jalapeno, avocado, more queso dip, and a big squeeze of lime all over this mountain of goodness, dig in and enjoy!
