  Healthy Fruit and Protein Snack Wrap

  Posted at 8:00 pm by myfoodiecall

  Feb 27th
  

  A sweet snack (or lunch).

  Remember my post about Ezeikel Bread? Guess what. Food for Life (the Ezekiel bread people) make other stuff besides bread, like these wraps.

  

  Sprouted Grain Tortillas

  Of course you do not have to use Ezekiel Tortilla. If you are just starting your health journey, start small and buy straight up whole wheat tortillas. Still be delish. :).

   Try this yummy dessert-snack-breakfast-could be a meal recipe by following these directions.

  

  Make your spread. It’s easy, don’t sweat it.

  

  Grate your apple. Or fine chop it if you are on a time crunch.

  

  Plate your tortilla.

  

  Spread your spread. Profound, I know.

  

  Add your apple.

  

  Then some sliced grapes.

  

  Wrap it.

  

  Cut and arrange in a pretty stack on a plate so people think you worked hard.

  Healthy Fruit and Protein Wrap

  Ingredients

  For the spread:

  • 6-7oz  silken firm tofu (Eyeball it. Don’t stress on it being exact. It’ll still work.)
  • 3 Tbs. natural peanut butter (No Jif, Skippy or any of that other nonsense. Your peanut butter should just be peanuts. And maybe some salt.)
  • 1 tsp chia seeds
  • 3 Tbs. Honey
  • 2 tsp cinnamon

  1) Mash it really good OR process in the food processor until creamy (what I did)

  For the wrap:

  • 1 package sprouted tortilla (or whole wheat tortilla)
  • 2-3 apples, shredded or fine chopped (I used granny smith, but use what you have!)
  • 1 cup seedless grapes, halved
  • 6 halved red seedless grapes

  1) Spread tofu/peanut butter mixture on tortilla.

  2) Place grated apple and grapes on top.

  3) Roll up tortilla, folding in sides as you go.

  4) Slice and serve.

  

  Kids can easily help with this one too.

  Healthy Sweet Potato Dip

  Posted at 8:00 pm by myfoodiecall

  Jan 28th
  

  This sweet potato dip could double as your meal. Mad doses of vitamin A.

  Everyone loves a good dip right? Try this dip with some “healthier chips”. Agreed, this dip is no match to your ranch, but that is the old you, right? Ranch is just bad, bad news, people. Heart attack waiting to happen, okay? Rid yourself of that nonsense and never look back.

  A peek at what your “healthier” chips may look like.

  

  These babies are from Trader Joe’s.

  No Trader Joe’s in your area? Another option below. Even Walmart carries this brand now.

  

  True to the name, it does “taste good.”

  But back to the dip.

  

  I used the TJ chips here.

  On to the dip….

  Go get your bag of sweet potatoes and get started.

  

  Cook em.

  

  Chop em.

  Add some other stuff to the food processor and Voila….

  

  A healthy sweet potato dip for many.

  

  Or solo. Not gonna judge.

  Healthy Sweet Potato Dip

  Ingredients

  • 3-4 small sweet potatoes (1 ¼ lb.)
  • 2 Tbs. white miso paste
  • 2 Tbs. lemon juice
  • 2 Tbs. orange juice
  • 1/8 tsp. dried ginger
  • 1 tsp. agave nectar

  Directions

  1. Pierce sweet potatoes with fork several times and bake for 45-50 minutes in 400 degree oven. (or if you are pressed for time, microwave 7 to 10 minutes, or until soft.)
  2. Cool sweet potatoes 10 minutes. Chop with skins on.
  3. Add chopped sweet potatoes to food processor with all remaining ingredients, and pulse until smooth, adding little bits of water (if necessary), to achieved desired consistency. Season with salt and pepper, to taste. Serve  with cut veggies or healthier tortilla chips.

  Flourless Carrot Cake Bars

  Posted at 8:00 pm by myfoodiecall

  Jan 23rd
  

  Is it carrot cake? A cookie? A granola bar? Unsure, but good anyhow.

  I love carrot cake, minus the raisins.  Love raisins, just not in my cakes, cookies, or any other baked goods. They just do not belong there. Kind of like walnuts do not belong in brownies. Love walnuts, but just don’t mess up a moist brownie with a nut. Just my opinion.

  

  My daughter was freaking out when she saw this pressed into the pan. She said: “Aren’t you going to chop the carrots more???”

  

  Me: “No sweetie, I am not. You will survive…”

  

  End result? Of all the My Foodie Call family members, I think she actually ate the most of these. Probably should add more carrot next time.

  Flourless Carrot Cake Bars

  Ingredients

  • 2 1/2 cups rolled oats
  • 1 1/4 cup almond meal
  • 1 cup sugar
  • 2 teaspoons cinnamon
  • 1/2 salt
  • 1 teaspoon baking soda
  • 1/4 teaspoon baking powder
  • 1 egg
  • 1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
  • 1 cup unsweetened applesauce
  • 1 cup shredded carrots

  Directions

  1. Preheat the oven to 350 degrees. Spray a 9×13 in pan with non-stick spray.
  2. In a large bowl, mix together the oats, almond meal, cinnamon,  salt, sugar, baking soda, and baking powder until they are well-combined.
  3. Add the egg, vanilla, and applesauce to a small bowl and whisk until combined.
  4. Add to dry mixture and stir until fully incorporated.
  5. Stir in the carrots.
