Hi I'm Krystalle
Welcome to my kitchen
one question i hear from people a lot is
how do you continually stay
on a live food diet? Cause if it
didn't taste good, I would probably stop doing it.
Make sure it's fun and easy especially if we're
having a really busy day and we're in the middle of a lot of different
activities or meetings
how I...this is a meal that I typically
eat uhmm... at lunchtime or as part of my dinner
So I have a box of mixed greens I purchased these organic greens from the grocery store
Of course it's even better if you have fresh greens growing in your yard use those
Um, its February and really cold outside so I have store greens
And quite simple, greens in your bowl. YAY!! That was easy.
I like to tear the leaves up a little bit
and the frisee, as fun as it is to eat
I try to put this whole thing in my mouth its not pretty
So I just make smaller pieces
and then I basically look and see what I have in the fridge today I looked and I have carrots
I have celery
I have avocado
and I actually had some beets as well and i just chose carrot
over beet its a little cleaner
and uh, since I'm doing a
quick daily salad, carrots are easier on the cleanup than beets are.
so i just chop up my carrots
So if it's just a salad for me I just chop as much carrot as I like
hm, hm, hmmm
So I just have salad carrots to my salad
and just add as much as you choose If I'm not gonna finish this I just put it back in the fridge
Celery! This is how I make celery fun and easy. Instead of taking one stalk
at a time and chopping the whole stalk up, I take the whole bunch...
Ta daa!! (children): YAY!!
Avocado
Take the little tag off
I slice my avocado in half with a nice sharp chefs knife
This is my essential kitchen tool
Twist it in half, and just take this little dark spot out
last night we had some
lentils
we soak and sprout lentils
And that actual process of soaking and sprouting lentils
takes a couple of days so we soak and sprout a lot
at once
and then we steam them
So you can see they've been steamed a little bit I've added
olive oil, salt, and pepper
since we prepare a lot at one time there's a little extra left over that I can add to my salad
right now as far as
fat, maybe a little protein content we have
avocado
But I can definitely add
lentils, this is a great...
great source of protein
and it tastes really good
heh, "lentils overboard!" there we go...
so I just sprinkle a few lentils on top of my salad. I always steam my lentils lightly
maybe just
between five and eight minutes in the steamer because
they digest so much better that way
alright, from here my salad is pretty much complete. All I require doing is topping it
and i usually have, um, apple cider vinegar another alternative to apple cider vinegar
is a new product on the market called coconut vinegar. Its made by a company called
"Coconut secret"
it's the same idea, these have both been fermented
so um, they are both great products
today I'm going for apple cider vinegar
just sprinkle a little bit on
its probably somewhere around
a teaspoon
maybe a teaspoon and a half
Chlorella powder
So another really good source of protein is chlorella. Its a very green powder. Now this
is an acquired taste.
my salad as it is, is already complete
so you don't have to add chlorella.
If you have it in your house, though
its a really good addition
So I sprinkle, mmm
about a half-Tablespoon
on top of my salad
You'll notice my measurements are not exact
Because this is the fun and easy way, which means you don't have to measure it, just sprinkle
then my other secret to my salad is coconut aminos This is the same idea as a
wheat-free soy sauce, or tamari
coconut aminos are made with coconut
instead of soybeans
so
what i do is i put mine in a spray bottle
and then i just spray it
about six or seven sprays and then I use organic extra *** olive oil
And there are a number of different brands Its readily available
and then I use my seasonings. Now I love sunfire salt. Sunfire salt is from
Sunfire Superfoods, my favorite salt to use
so I sprinkle a little on top
and then you can do black pepper, or chipotle powder, I love chipotle powder!
So I...
now technically chipotle is not raw
it has an amazing flavor it is smoked jalapeno peppers. That's what chipotle is
It has an amazing flavor
But you know, if you prefer, you can just do black peppercorns
that's my salad.
And this salad in itself is going to be really nourishing and filling.
and if you find you require even more
maybe protein content or something that feels a little more filling
Have it with a nori sheet
Now I use the raw nori
You can also use toasted nori if you desire
and then you roll it up and eat it! Yummy!
It's quick, its easy
and its simple
and definitely
helped me out with staying
staying into my live food even in the midst of a busy day.
Have a great day!
