hey everyone and welcome back into my channel don't forget to hit that
subscribe button if you're new so that you don't miss any of my videos and in
today's video we're making some healthy lunches that I have been loving lately
so first off is this mac and cheese I'm using a sweet potato as a base because
it's a complex carb it's high in vitamin C as well as beta-carotene which
converts to vitamin A and then I'm adding in some coconut milk which is
high in manganese it's a great MCT oil and it's great for nourishing the lining
of your gut and digestive system just make sure you get the canned kind and
you only use the thick part next up I'm using some nutritional yeast which
actually has a cheesy kind of flavor to it it is loaded with b12 with iron and
it just makes it taste really really good and then I'm using this chick
appiah pasta because it has 23 grams of protein per serving so I'll boiling that
and then I'm going to be using it some garlic into our sauce it's a potent
antimicrobial antifungal as well as some coconut aminos which is has vitamin C
it's also soy free and gluten free which I love and some Himalayan salt which has
84 trace minerals and it also bounces your pH some tumeric which adds color
but it's also a really great anti-inflammatory as well as of a black
pepper which boosts actually the absorptive ability of the tumeric and
then some almond milk a thin it out which has the vitamin D vitamin E and
it's dairy free and then you're gonna cook your pasta and tip uses a wooden
spoon over the top and then it won't overflow once it's done that just strain
your pasta mix it up with the sauce you can reheat it if you want to or just
pack it away for lunch it's so delicious it's got loads of protein sweet potato
and it tastes super yummy for the colder days next up I'm making a beet Alysha
salad so I'm starting off by cutting up some beets which is high in vitamin C
they're gonna help lower your blood pressure plus look how cool these colors
are I gather with the farmers markets I got
and golden of course you can use normal beats but this is fun and then I just
sliced it with a mandolin and then I'm gonna massage some kale and kale is
really high in calcium and iron and it's an anti-inflammatory plus if you massage
it with olive oil like I'm going to do here it actually helps break it down so
a it's not as bitter and B is also not gonna bloat you some Himalayan salt that
we already know all about and then some pumpkin seeds which are high in zinc
magnesium and Omega threes and then I'm going to be putting on some hemp seeds
which are also high in omega 3 insects either source of protein and they
actually have all of the essential amino acids they're one of the only like
non-animal sources of all these essential amino acids and then to be
festive I'm putting on some pomegranate and I learned this from Jamie Oliver
that all you have to do is smack the bottom with a wooden spoon and then they
fall out but I just love how festive the salad is I added some falafel on top for
some protein you can add whatever kind of meat you want but it's just so
colorful and so effective and lastly I'm making a Thai peanut wrap I've been
obsessed with making wraps lately with these wraps I'll show you guys so I'm
using some chicken you can use whatever kind of protein source you like and then
I'm using these flax wraps they're paleo they're anti-inflammatory and this one
actually has greens in it so you do have to wet it first I get a lot of questions
about like Rutten gluten free and grade B wraps if you wet it first it kind of
softens it it makes it more pliable and then you can even also warm it up in the
microwave for about 10-15 seconds and it gets super soft I'm gonna add in my
chicken you can add in whatever protein that you're using and then I'm using
this peanut sauce this is the one from mister spice it only has 2 grams of
sugar it's gluten free dairy free sulfite free so it's a really clean one
and then I'm using this it's called Asian mixed spring salad I'm putting
that inside and then I'm rolling it up now with the flax wrap it doesn't
actually ban on the sides like a tortilla would so it will only go this
way but if you're using a tortilla you know do the sides but I am trying to cut
grains mostly out and just like minimize them so but if you want you can use a
normal tortilla and then I'm slicing that in half basically so it'll fit in
my lunchbox and this is the sauce that I was talking to you about as mister spice
I linked it in the chips and that is how your rap turned out I
love the crunch from the cabbage in the carrot and the Asian mix and then you
have your protein and then your rap and your sauce makes it super yummy well I
hope you guys enjoyed this video and it gave you some healthy lunch inspiration
