Avocado Bruschetta is Delicious!

 

Ingredients:

  • 1 whole avocado1 tsp lemon juice
  • 4 slices gluten-free bread (I recommend Brown Rice Loaf)
  • 3 roma tomatos
  • 1 tsp basil
  • 1tsp onion powder
  • 1tsp garlic powder
  • dash salt + pepper

Instructions:  Toast gluten-free bread, then cut into fours and place on a large plate. Cut an avocado in half, toss the seed & scoop out all of the fruit. Mash the avocado in a small bowl and mix in lemon juice to make a quick guacamole. For a smooth guacamole, use an electric mixer. Spread the guacamole onto the bread squares. Next, cut off the ends of the tomatos and chop into small 1/2-inch chunks. Add spices and blend together. Scoop tomato mix onto the bread squares. They are ready to eat! Tip: The juices from tomato and the healthy fats from avocado make this appetizer taste delicious without adding oil or cheese.

    Do you ever think that it would be IMPOSSIBLE to give up chocolate to lose weight? No worries! You can absolutely incorporate chocolate into a healthy diet, and make healthy chocolate snacks and desserts without putting on a pound! In fact, you will LOSE weight quickly if you learn how to make plant-based chocolate treats (i.e. vegan chocolate) like these truffle bars. Why is plant-based and vegan chocolate better? For one, most milk chocolates are high in fat, and typically include “milk fat” as a key ingredient. Secondly, dairy is the MOST common food allergy in the United States, especially in infants and children. Typically, adolescents and adults don’t realize they are allergic because their bodies have gotten used to having high quantities of milk in their diet over the course of several years. http://www.foodallergy.org/allergens/milk-allergy

    First melt some dairy-free chocolate over a double boiler, drizzle it onto wax paper into rectangular shapes. Then, allow the chocolate to cool while heating up non-GMO soy milk, sweetener and corn syrup on the stove. Then, put hazelnuts and dried pitted dates in a food processor. Mash this into the shape of a granola bar and place onto the cooled chocolate rectangles. Grab a small scooper (or even a measuring spoon) to make melon balls from a cantaloupe. Place melon balls onto the granola bar, drizzle more dairy-free chocolate sauce on top, then dip in soy caramel sauce on the side.
