get into it so this recipe we are making
our chickpea step avocados they're so
yummy so quick and easy to make and I
kind of think of them is like instead of
to know you're having like a chickpea
mash you'll see what I mean I'm starting
off with my blender / food processor
mixer thing whatever you have work and
i'm adding in half a can of chickpeas
along with one eighth of a cup of
sunflower seeds and sunflower seeds will
help make the bind the mixture to the
chickpeas without turning basically that
hummus and also have a lot of important
vitamins and minerals and healthy fats
and all that kind of stuff so blend that
until you get a really chunky texture
next up I'm adding in a couple green
onions and we're just going to chop
these up until you get little fine
pieces and i'm adding that into the
mixture and then flavor I'm adding in
half a teaspoon of Justice Dijon mustard
along with some turmeric turmeric is
such a great spice it is got lost
anti-inflammatory anti-cancer it's just
a great spice and it gives it this nice
yellow color and then of adding in a
quarter teaspoon of garlic powder that
I'm just mixing it up altogether until
we get this nice kind of little paste
mixture and everything is
does it come by next step of course
we're going to need some avocados so I'm
taking my avocados and I'm just slicing
it down the middle and then I'm just
placing them on a plate and I'm putting
my chicks p mixture kind of in the
center hole and piling it on top and I
think these turned out so yummy
they're so good they've got tons of
healthy fats and the avocado which will
help keep you full we've got protein
from the chickpeas we've got flavor we
got it's an all-around great thing to
make so we're making a sweet potato
salad I love to potato and I love
finding new ways to make sweet potato
and I know potato salad can be really
popular but we're gonna make one with
sweet potato because it has tons of
beta-carotene in it which is a lot
healthier than a normal white potato
so let's get started so I peeled and
wash too with your potatoes are kind of
medium-sized it all depends on how much
of this salad you would like to make for
the week but it also makes a great meal
prep salad so I'm going to chop up the
sweet potato into little one-inch chunks
because we're going to be roasting them
in the oven to add some flavor before
putting them in the oven i'm adding in 1
tablespoon of olive oil along with a
little bit of garlic pepper and a little
bit of cayenne I like mine a little bit
spicy but feel free to leave out the
Cayenne you don't like spicy but if you
do spicy is really good for you so i
suggest trying out new places in the
oven for about 30 minutes until they're
cooked and i just love the way the
roasted potatoes taste as opposed to
boil potatoes
I just think the flavor develops a lot
more in the potatoes that are potatoes
are out of the oven we can go ahead and
make our dressing so i'm using a 3
tablespoons of apple cider vinegar which
is great especially the kind that says
with the mother on it that's the kind of
has all the good stuff in it for you
then I'm adding in it two teaspoons of
olive oil along with 1 tablespoon of
maple syrup just for a little bit of
sweetness and I'm topping it off with
half a can of black beans just to add a
little bit more protein to this salad
and I'm topping up a couple green onions
again to add some freshness into this
and I'm going to add those on the top
then all you have to do is take a big
spoon and stir that up and make sure
everything is combined and distributed
evenly and what I love about this salad
is that you can make a big bunch of it
and it keeps because they have the
vinegar on it and the olive oil so you
can make it for the whole week and it's
super healthy and super filling with the
potato except we are making it
cauliflower soup because if you're like
me you live in a place where it's really
cold and at lunchtime it can be really
nice to have like a nice hearty warm
soup i'm starting off by just cutting up
a small onion and just cut it up into
small pieces and we're just gonna cook
those down until they get clear and
translucent while those are cooking we
can go ahead and get started on chopping
all cauliflower so just get one head of
cauliflower and chop it into a little
florets once you pop that up
add that to your onion mixture because
they should be about done by now I'm
going to add in our stock you can use
vegetable stock or any kind of stuff
that you like just make sure that it's
low sodium so I'm just adding the stock
into the pot so that we can get
everything cooking and it's going to
have really helped the onions and the
cauliflower kind of get mushy and then
i'm also adding in four sprigs of a time
I think time works really well this
recipe just bring that to a boil and
then once it's boiling you can turn that
down to medium-low heat and just simmer
it until the cauliflower can i get a
mushy texture and it's off now that our
cauliflower is soft I'm going to take my
immersion blender and kind of blend
everything up so we get one smooth soup
and then I'm adding in a 3 tablespoons
of nutritional yeast which basically
piece kind of like cheese like the vegan
alternative for cheese and it tastes
really good and then you can let it
simmer if you want you can have it right
away but I love this soup it is perfect
for a warm day I just put some roasted
chickpeas on the top to make a kind of
look pretty and a few herbs and you can
have this with bread if you want
crackers whatever like a piece of toast
to dip and if you like
