Our morning Clean Juice

Veggie Pulp Crackers – Baked in Oven

Veggie Pulp Crackers – Baked in Oven

Two days ago I did 2 days’ worth of juicing which included: carrots, apples, ginger, cucumber, celery, Kale tomatoes, capsicum, parsley, sweet potato......There was a lot. You may only have 3 items? ... I'm just letting you know what was in mine this time.  Please note, I did pick out the big bits like the beetroot skin as I don’t peel when I juice.

2 cups veggie pulp
1 cup LSA 
2 Tablespoons of apple cider vinegar

A big squirt of lemon juice

My secret in this was a couple of handfuls of DUKKAH! I looked at this and knew I needed some spicing up… anyone who really knows me, will understand that I would have to have some spice to it!

Have some fun with this! Add what YOU think will ticking your taste-buds as your taste-buds are what comes first. As long as IT’S CLEAN.

And any dried herbs you have sitting in your cupboard. 

I played with this first... 30 minutes@ 170 degrees then 15 minutes @150 degrees.  Then again my oven is so old and unreliable.  Please go by your own instinct and just keep checking.

Most of all HAVE FUN!

To start

I loved some Dukkah as I LOVE spice

Spread out thin

I cut it into a square to make it pretty ...

, 

Baked tor 30 minutes, taken out put some glad paper on it and turned it upside down

Once turned upside down, I put it back in oven for 15 minutes at 150 degrees

The finished product - you must remember everyone has a different oven, I was for ever checking on this so not to burn it!  The only bits burnt are the corners... but yummy and crispy.

The finished product!  I could have made this all so professional and really flash pictures as most of you know me I could!  BUT, I am realistic with this and what you see is what you get!

Finish these off with hummus, a Greek yogurt dill based dip, or anything that tickles your taste-buds!

Remember HAVE FUN!

What is The Eat-Clean Diet®? - The Eat-Clean Diet®

Eating Clean is treating your body right.

It is eating the way nature intended. You eat the foods our bodies evolved to function best on, and that makes you feel – and look – fantastic. When you Eat Clean you eat more often. You will eat lean protein, complex carbs, and healthy fats. These practices keep your blood-sugar levels stable and keep you satisfied. The best part is that if you need to lose weight it will happen almost without you having to try. And yes, you can have a treat now and again.

Best of all, Eating Clean keeps you feeling great and full of energy. In fact, you can forget all about the days when “dieting” meant feelings of hunger, lethargy or deprivation.

Eating Clean is not a fad; it’s a way of life.When you Eat Clean your body will react by losing weight if you need to lose, maintaining a healthy weight if that’s where you are, and even gaining weight if you are too skinny. But regardless of whether you want to lose, maintain or gain, you will feel better than you ever have before.

Never worry about counting calories again. You will never have to diet. Eating Clean will keep you lean and healthy for the rest of your long life. Eating Clean guarantees results!

Long Time No See?

Well, I've been a little bit lazy on the typing side of things as I've been Selfish and focusing on myself exercising, and clean eating.

These things just don't happen overnight! It takes time and a lot of energy must go into these things!

Today being the 23rd of February sees myself at work, at the hospital and its such a lovely fantastic day to be alive!  The sun is shinning the sky is deep blue, (well from where I am sitting at the present moment), I have a wonderful network of support from my friends and what more can I say?  The most caring daughter in the world who at 5, shows so much love and beauty beyond her age!

Today just be kind to everyone.  Its a choice, so choose to be kind and lovable.

Namaste


PS: Me at work today!
