hey everyone welcome back to my channel in today's video we're making some easy
healthy recipe meal ideas is so super quick they're good for you and they're
made with whole food ingredients if you haven't yet make sure to subscribe to
see lots more healthy recipes and let's get straight into it so the first thing
we're making is the sweet potato pizza so we're gonna make the crust here
basically this is the recipe for a very basic good crust and then you can top it
with whatever you like so I'm using coconut flour I like it because it's a
high-fiber low-carb flour as well as some tapioca flour which is great for
digestion and tapioca also is really good for your whole circulation system
so a couple tablespoons of that and then I'm adding in just some oregano for some
seasoning you can do any kind of dried herb here also some garlic for flavor as
well but like I said any kind of dried spices that you like a pinch of
Himalayan salt as well as some sweet potato which helps to add the bulk of
this recipe so I love sweet potato because it's loaded with vitamin C a
great antioxidant great for the change of season where our immune system needs
some building it's also rich in thiamine which actually helps you get the energy
that from the food you consume as well and all the recipes will be linked down
below with like the measurements and everything always down below guys so
then I just fold that into a little ball and then we're gonna make the crust just
by pressing it out you can also use a rolling pin and roll it in between two
sheets of wax or parchment paper but I find it really easy to just push down
into a little pressed shape onto a baking sheet I use a silicone mat but if
not you're gonna want to spray the baking sheet that you use then I'm
topping mine with pesto I really like mixing up which mean like a red sauce a
pesto sauce and other kinds of sauces so I'm just spreading that I'm a bottom
then I'm adding in a few dollops of the leftover cashew cream from the recipe
video I did when I made Rose a pasta if you guys haven't seen that video you
definitely want to watch that so I will link that in the description box below
but I had some leftover so I'm just spreading that on the top and like a
vegan cashew cream with a pesto is so delicious guys I had some leftover
mushrooms and onions that I'm throwing on the top basically I just make a pizza
with whatever I throw in from the fridge that's leftover some place tomatoes you
can guys can do whatever you like like I said the
recipes basically for the crust because you can make a great gluten-free paleo
crust at home it's super easy you bake it at 400 for 15 minutes and you have
this wonderfully delicious pizza full of whole foods I threw some basil and some
kale on it when it was done out of the oven super quick and easy to do next up
we're making these loaded fries and I'm obsessed with this recipe it's delicious
so I'm starting off again with the sweet potato and I like including sweet potato
in these recipes because it's a great complex carb so it's gonna break down in
your blood sugar a little bit slower and it's also super affordable plus it isn't
part of like the Dirty Dozen that you need to buy organic as well if you can
that's better because organic does have more vitamins and minerals in it but
it's also like really affordable so I just cut that into five shapes you guys
want to see my video where I tell you how to make the best wheat potato fries
I will also leave that down below because there's a kind of like a secret
ingredient but you want to include some avocado oil as you guys know I like
avocado oil because it has a higher smoke point so if you're cooking at
higher than 350 degrees Fahrenheit you don't want to use olive oil you want to
use avocado oil because it doesn't damage but that kind of high temperature
so I toss those up and I putting them on my baking sheet
another thing to getting fry super crispy is you definitely want to lie in
them like single file so you don't want them too piled up because they won't get
crispy they need enough space between them so you want to lay them
individually while those are in the oven we're making this amazing sauce so I'm
using a couple tablespoons of tahini and tahini is just ground sesame seeds which
is rich in methionine which helps your liver detox so that's super great for
getting all the bad stuff out of your system some lemon juice which is super
fresh lemon lime lemon is alkalizing good for you pinch of Himalayan salt
again Himalayan salt is just my staple salt that I use because it has those
minerals in it and it helps to balance your pH a little bit of garlic and then
you literally just mix and stir that up depending on how thick you want your
sauce you can add a tablespoon of water into it depending on how runny you want
it and then I'm just slicing up some Tomatoes tomatoes are also something
good you can throw on top you can throw arm really any kind of vegetable that
you want but I really like the tomato and then I also have some green
chickpeas so these are all the things that I'm gonna be putting on to our
loaded fries but again you can deliver whatever you like so once your fries are
done I'm just going to be putting that in
to our bowl and then we can start like loading them up with all our different
sauces and toppings so next up I'm going to load it on with our tahini sauce I
kind of just drizzle it on top and it's so delicious
this is definitely a Mediterranean buy because of the tomatoes were putting on
and the tahini sauce and I'm gonna be putting on some green chickpeas as well
when I found the green chickpeas I was so fun basically green chickpeas are
young or fresh chickpeas before they've turned blonde and green chickpeas
actually have less carbohydrates and protein which I mean sign me up because
that's what I'm about but on my little cherry tomatoes and I'm also gonna put
on some parsley where again I love fresh herbs and this is from my garden so
before it turns to winter I want to use up all my herbs but again whatever you
kind of want to load your fries up and this is such a fun meal idea
you got the warm fries you've loaded up and it's just kind of like a healthy
poutine but kind of with this below advice it's delicious it's warm it's my
new favorite thing and yeah I hope you guys try this one out so up next we are
gonna be making some baked coconut shrimp they're super easy and delicious
to make us craving coconut shrimp and it's one of my favorite things but it
can be pretty unhealthy when you buy it out because it's fried so I'm using some
shredded coconut coconut and has great healthy fats in it as well it helps to
stabilize blood sugar and then I'm using some almond flour and mrs. butts gonna
create the outside of our base almond flour is rich in fat and rich in vitamin
E so I'm just airing that together so that when we coat our fries you get a
little bit of everything and not just like chunks of almond flour and chunks
of coconut so stir that together and then I'm gonna be setting up kind of
like our little station so the next station is gonna be tapioca flour
because you need a flour and then we're gonna do an egg and then we're gonna do
the outside coating so there's a couple tablespoons of that is enough and
tapioca flour was really great to help everything kind of bind to it and then
the last one I'm doing an egg I haven't tried this with the flax egg but again
if we're using shrimp then you probably don't need a flax egg because if you're
eating shrimp and you're not being him so I whip the shrimp first into the
tapioca flour and then I'm gonna be putting that into our egg mixture it's
really helpful if you kind of have them ordered one two three so that when
you're dipping them it's really easy so into the egg and then into the almond
flour and coconut mixture immense lays out a sheet once you bake them for like
10 minutes they're gold Brown they're delicious the coating gets
nice and crisp and it really sticks on there so I hope you guys enjoyed this
