Tomorrow is Superbowl Sunday. Whether you’re a fan of the sport or not, that likely means you’ll be spending the day relaxing at home, perhaps parked in front of the TV. Or perhaps not! In any event, you may at some point find yourself wanting a simple, easy snack that you can quickly throw together. Well, why not some raw popcorn? Okay okay, so it isn’t corn and it hasn’t popped. But it serves the same function! It’s tasty, fun, and easy. So try this cauliflower “popcorn”!

Kale Cubes
Now here’s an interesting idea. If you’ve ever made a puree of garlic to keep in your fridge to make your life easier down the road, then this concept will be right up your alley!
This recipe is really sort of a hack or shortcut for other recipes. Maybe you’re a big fan of green smoothies. Or maybe you’ve got a little veggie garden and end up having more kale and greens than you know what to do with. Well, now you know! Turn those lovely greens into kale cubes, and you can use them later for your next smoothie or soup!
Coconut water is great if you intend to use your kale cubes for smoothies. If you have a more savory use for them in mind, you might be better off using regular water. Or maybe not!
Rainbow Juice
A simple rule of thumb to make sure you’re getting a broad range of healthy nutrients is to make sure you’re eating lots of fruits and veggies of different colors. Lots of the disease-fighting and health-promoting properties of plants are related to the different compounds that produce the different colors.
Often times, the deeper the color of fresh whole foods, the richer they are in nutrients. So we should all try to keep our lives full of color. And what better way than by drinking it all up!
This Rainbow Juice takes all that to heart, and while it may look green once it’s in the cup, it’s made from a real rainbow of delicious fruits and veggies. This juice is full of antioxidants, anti-inflammatories, and all sorts of vitamins and minerals.
And it’s super tasty. With the spiciness coming from the jalapeño, ginger and cilantro, the kiwi adds some sweetness, and of course the tomato brings the umami. Truly well-balanced, this Rainbow Juice makes a great snack any time of day.
Cashew Tzatziki
Tzatziki is as fun to say as it is to eat. Quick to make, it’s always great for parties when friends are gathered round. And your gathered friends will have lots to talk about when they learn this cashew-based tzatziki is completely vegan and raw.
The tangy dill and lemon are balanced by the aroma of garlic, and the delicious creaminess of the blended cashews is a great replacement for yogurt. You get the digestive benefits of lemon and garlic, and the healthful fats and protein from cashews. And it’s all tied together by the dill.
Dill has a neat flavor which we usually associate with pickles. It’s a very simple way to add an exotic twist to your meals. This Mediterranean herb has been used in Greece for centuries both as a food and as a medicine. It’s now known to be anti-inflammatory a good source of antioxidants.
Tzatziki makes for a great veggie dip or as a spread.
