Vita Spelt organic whole grain spelt pasta from Whole Foods Market with Organic Eden Roma Tomato & Sweet Basil sauce (I added fresh herbs and extra virgin olive oil to the sauce then warmed it up for 10 minutes to liven it up with flavor).

The broccoli is cooked with spring water, sea salt, cayenne pepper, onion powder, and a dash of black pepper and extra virgin olive oil.

KL's ORGANIC LATE-NIGHT SMACK SNACK

Had the munchies tonight so I put together a quick "late-night smack" snack!

It's one (1) slice of organic sourdough rye bread right out of the toaster with raw almond butter spread across it and fresh fruit on the side (or right down the center, haha)!

I lightly sprinkled on ground cinnamon and pure sea salt to add a "sweet & salty" type of taste!

Bout time I rinsed and cleaned the strawberries, I remembered having a few ripened bananas that would've went nice on top of almond butter with toasted rye but, oh well... I really like this recipe too!

Try it!

Ingredients:
Raw Almond Butter
Sourdough Rye (French Meadow)
