Food I Love

As far as I'm concerned, every single person on earth should have at least one, healthy, delicious food item that they can rely on to lift their spirits once consumed. We all have cheat-food favorites, mine being chocolate chip cookie dough, which I, a raging health nut, will honestly admit is my favorite food. However, chocolate chip cookie dough is something I have to eat in moderation, and I generally feel guilty about eating it (does my body really want all of that refined sugar, raw egg, and white flour? I think nay). This is why I insist we should each have a delicious healthy favorite. I had two of my all-time favorite healthy foods within the last hour as my lunch, and I feel compelled to share them. Should you find yourself seeking a favorite good-for-you treat, try one of these!

Goat Cheese Sandwich on Sprouted Bread
2 slices Sprouted Bread (mine uses dates and berries instead of flour), or normal-people bread if you have that
Spicy Brown Mustard
Several dashes of Cholula Hot Sauce (or your favorite zesty condiment; not ketchup! Too much sugar!)
Smoked Turkey Breast
Goat Cheese (I like the kind with herbs in it)
3 slices Tomato
1/2 avocado, cut into slices or spread directly on bread (avocados are an excellent source of healthy fats)
*Add sprouts if you have them (haven't tried this yet, but I bet it's out of this world!)
:)

Raw Chocolate Pudding
In a blender, combine:
1.5c almond milk (unsweetened)
2c pitted dates (start by blending these alone with almond milk to puree them)
1/3c cocoa powder
1 overripe banana
2-3 ripe avocados
:) (I could eat this delicious dessert for three meals a day and still feel good about eating it. Hurray!)
