KL's HOMEMADE ORGANIC HUMMUS

Homemade hummus from scratch. 

Since I post hummus recipes often, I decided not to post this one and simply share the picture since I have a lust and love for good-looking food... #foodie #foodporn ;)

Hummus is excellent room temperature, warmed out chilled with chips as a dip, on pitas or all by itself!

The tomato and the basil are fresh-picked from my backyard garden in Tempe, AZ.

Prep Time: 8 hours (soak 1 cup chickpeas overnight)
Cook Time: 3 hours (slow cook chickpeas on simmer for 2-3 hours)

Serves: 4-6

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)
Sea Salt
Ground Cinnamon
Fresh Strawberry

KL's MEXICAN POST-WORKOUT SMOOTHIE

I went "south of the border" with this recipe and it's still packed with nutrition that the body can quickly absorb in a smoothie!

Most of the ingredients are native to Mexico, and the minerals are also native to the body in regards to balancing pH inside your body!

Protein, Calcium, Vitamin C, Vitamin A, Potassium, Iron, Manganese, Phosphorus and more!

Here's what I used...

Ingredients:
Organic Black Kale Lacinato
Jicama
Fresh 100% Florida Orange Juice
Organic Cayenne Pepper
Ground Cinnamon
Organic Raw Blue Agave Nectar
