Kale Avocado Breakfast Smoothie

This 100% Organic Tropical blend packed with Nutrients
In celebration of the warmer weather and the snow finally dissipating, I decided that it's time to fire up the old treadmill and start exercising once again. After much struggle hopping on the old horse again, I decided to experiment with my blender and ended up with this delicious concoction. This smoothie is perfect for a pre/ post-workout snack.

This thick and hardy smoothie is packed with energy, and nutrients and a rich tropical flavour that your body needs after a light workout, or breakfast replacement. This recipe contains a 100% organic ingredients which include: kale, avocado, banana, mango, pineapple and dates.

This recipe is super easy to make and is done in minutes. It is recommended to add in some Organic Whey Powder, which is great to help build and tone muscle mass after a work out. However, I was unable to get my hands on some at this time. I shall invest shortly as my workout training progresses. Anyways, let's get started!

Grilled Portobello Mushroom Burger

A Great Beef Alternative; Grilled Portobello Mushroom Burger
In celebration of spring slowly creeping back into the picture, we decided that it's time we fire up the grill and make some burgers, vegan and vegetarian style!

This week at Chews Healthy we made Portobello Mushroom Burgers marinated in a home-made balsamic vinaigrette, topped off with grilled onions, organic tomatoes, raw kale, and sliced avocado on a whole wheat kaiser bun. This beef alternative burger recipe will put a smile of satisfaction on anyone's face. It's highly doubtful that they will even miss the beef.

Anyways, it's time to stop salivating and start marking and eating. Let's get started!

Spicy Peanut Tofu Stir Fry

Spicy & Nutty Thai Stir Fry
This week at Chew's Healthy, I was invited over for a small dinner party pot luck, and I didn't know what to bring. I haven't done a stir fry in a while, and it's pretty safe to say that everyone likes thai food, so I thought this recipe was a perfect match for party. This dish is loaded with vibrant veggies and a spicy and nutty thai inspired flavour. It also contains grilled marinated tofu cubes, or shall I say rectangular prisms, hah.

After all was said and eaten, my dish was a big success with a ton of compliments. This hearty recipe contains: organic brocoli, carrots, green cabbage, yellow onions, kale, baby bok choy, snap peas, red and green peppers, and organic tofu. The sauce is made from scratch which contains: peanut butter, organic raw honey, lime juice, reduced sodium soy sauce, and sriracha sauce.

Let's start cooking!

Dark Chocolate Peanut Butter Bites

Rolled Oats with Dark Chocolate, Peanut Butter & Flax Seed
This week at Chews Healthy, I was itching to make another dessert. As a connoisseur of peanut butter, it was a no brainer to make these delicious balls of goodness. This recipe is packed with rolled oats, ground flax seed, organic raw honey, peanut butter, and dark chocolate. What's not to love, seriously?

Since this blog is dedicated to health, it is important to note that although all of the ingredients in this recipe are healthy for you, it's not recommended to eat a full batch of these in one sitting! They are recommended to eat in place of an energy or granola bar.

This recipe is super easy to make as it requires no baking or cooking. Simply mix, roll, indulge. Anyways, let's get started!
