Ingredient Notes and Health Benefits

Ezekiel Sprouted Grain Bread: How is sprouted grain bread different than wheat bread? It’s means the sprouts have been caught during the germinating process, meaning it will have a higher level of nutrients when compared to wheat bread. In addition to that, it also breaks down phyate, which normally decreases the number of vitamins and minerals available to be absorbed into the body. They also likely have a lower level of starch and are therefore easier to digest. Win!

Avocado: One of my favorite healthy fats, avocado is jam packed with nutrients. It’s high in vitamin K, vitamin C, potassium, fiber, folate, vitamin B5 and B6 and vitamin E. In this recipe, it’s just mixed with lime juice and salt and pepper to make a flavorful guacamole which is the perfect taco topping.

Kale, Cashew and Basil Pesto: I buy this vegan pesto from Trader Joe’s, however you can use any type of pesto.

Goat Cheese: I always say that if you put goat cheese on anything, it’s automatically way better. Does anyone else agree?!

Smoked Salmon: I am obsessed with smoked salmon. It requires no cooking, is so flavorful and SO easy.
