COLLARD HUMMUS WRAPS
Forget the tortilla! You can make a delicious wrap that doesn’t spike your blood sugar with energy-sapping
gluten-laden carbs! Giant collard green leaves make a perfect veggie wrap. You can serve then raw, or if you
prefer a softer wrap, steam them gently for 3–5 minutes before filling, wrapping, and enjoying!
Serves 1
INGREDIENTS
•• 1 large collard green leaf
•• 3 tablespoons hummus
•• ¼ cups sprouts
•• ½ carrot, grated
•• ¼ red bell pepper, sliced into thin strips
•• ¼ small cucumber, sliced into thin strips
•• 2 tablespoons purple onions, finely diced
DIRECTIONS
1.
With a sharp knife, gently remove the lower, thick
part of the collard green stem. Simply run your
knife along the spine of the stem, slicing it flat
until it’s level with the collard leaf. Discard stem.
2.
Spread hummus along the center of the collard
leaf. Top with sprouts, carrot, bell pepper,
cucumber, and onions. Fold two ends of the
collard leaf toward the center of the leaf, then
roll the leaf burrito-style so the two folded ends
create a fully enclosed wrap. Wrap in plastic
wrap and save for later, or slice in half and serve
immediately. Enjoy!

CHOCO-TENTMENT MOUSSE
From Tana Amen
Light, fluffy, and good for you! Bet you’d never guess that you could say all of that about a single dessert!
This recipe calls for the meat from one or two young Thai coconuts. Some people are intimidated by the idea of
opening coconuts to get the meat (I used to be one of them). I assure you, it is easier than it sounds, and well worth
the minimal effort! The fresh coconut water and delicious meat are amazing treats. The only thing you need is a meat
cleaver or a 10-inch heavy kitchen knife to get started. Young Thai coconuts can be found at Asian markets or health
food stores and come wrapped in plastic. You can use other types of coconut, but the meat is often not as soft.
The meat from a young Thai coconut is usually similar to the consistency of tofu, very soft.
Serves 4
INGREDIENTS Optional Ingredients
•• Coconut meat from one •• ½ cup coconut butter or raw •• 2 tablespoons erythritol or
or two fresh young Thai almond butter 10–12 drops stevia liquid

AHI MANGO SALAD
Seared Ahi makes an appearance in this dish. As with the Seared Ahi Tacos, if you prefer to avoid raw fish, cook the

eating vegetarian, skip the fish and serve this salad avocado and 2 tablespoons of hemp seeds instead.
Serves 2
INGREDIENTS

•• Salt and pepper
•• ½ pound ahi tuna steak
•• 1 cucumber, diced
•• 1 mango, peeled and diced
•• ¼ cup fresh cilantro, chopped
