Kreamy Kelp Noodles

Kelp noodles do NOT taste like seaweed. They are very neutral in flavor and have a fun, bouncy noodle texture. You can find kelp noodles at Whole Foods in the cold section near the tofu. This dish here is so delicious I could eat it every day, super healthy, vegan, gluten-free and soy-free. This is a great lunch food packed with vitamins and minerals, but I love it for dinner too.  Perfect for summer, which it feels like most of the time here in SoCal. As always, chose your own adventure and play around with the veggies. 

Kreamy Kelp Noodles

Serves 2

1 Package Kelp Noodles

2 Cups Steamed or Massaged Kale

1 Cup Steamed Lima Beans (I used frozen ones)

1 Cup Steamed Cauliflower Florets (I used frozen ones)

1 Cup Chopped Tomatoes

1 Diced Avocado

1 Sliced or Chopped Bell Pepper (orange, yellow or red)

1-2 Shredded Carrots

A few chopped Basil or Mint Leaves (optional)

Cracked Pepper (optional)

Cashew Kreamy Sauce

1 Cup Raw Cashews

1/2 Cup Filtered Water

1 Large Lemon

2 Pinches Pink Salt (or to taste)

For the sauce: In a high speed blender (I use the Magic Bullet because it's small and easy) blend all sauce ingredients until smooth. You may need to add more water or lemon to make it a thinner sauce. 

Drain and rinse kelp noodles in fresh water. Drain again. Cut a few times to release the bundle they come in. No need to cook them. Put in a large bowl and pour in the sauce to coat the noodles. Toss in the other ingredients and add more sauce as desired. Grind some pepper on top, if you like, divided it up and enjoy!

Hearty Warming Oatmeal

In these colder months it feels good to get toasty. I love this warming combo for a great power-up and lasting energy throughout the morning. It's hearty, high fiber, with protein and omegas out the yin yang. Breakfast of champions!

Hearty Warming Oatmeal

1 cup of Water or Almond, Hemp, Rice, or Soy Milk

1/2 cup Organic Oats

1/3 Banana

1/4 Pear or Persimmon (make sure it's ripe!)

1/4 cup Walnuts (or your preference)

1 tsp. Hemp Seeds or Chia Seeds

1 tsp. Coconut Sugar or Maple Syrup (or 1/4 tsp Stevia for an even lower glycemic index)

Dash of Cinnamon

1/2 tsp Acai Powder (optional)


Heat water or milk in a pot (with lid) on medium heat with oats for about 3-5 minutes, stirring occasionally.
When they are almost cooked through, stir in Coconut Sugar.
Then add all other ingredients and turn off heat.
Allow to sit for 1 minute, and enjoy!
