Soak the organic dates in purified water for about 1 hour. Transfer only the organic dates into a blender and add two tablespoons of the water which was used to soak the dates. Add the stevia drops and vanilla, and blend until the mixture is smooth, slowly add a bit more of the water if consistency is not reached. Remove from the blender and add to toast as a jam, to smoothies or on top of rice cakes along with almond butter. The caramel sauce can be stored for about 3 weeks to 1 month in the fridge.

*Be sure to eat in moderation as dates are a natural laxative. Do not exceed 2 tbs a day.

Dates are very nutrient rich and are especially high in fibre. Fibre is said to help your digestive system function optimally. Dates are also high in antioxidants which are said to help slow down the aging process of the skin.

Vegan Healthy Glow Cauliflower Steak

Ingredients

  • 1 Head Organic Cauliflower
  • 1 tbs Avocado Oil
  • 2 tbs Organic Lemon Juice
  • 1/2 tbs Spicy Herbed Sea Salt
  • 1/2 tbs Organic Pepper
  • 1/2 tbs Organic Thyme

Instructions

Makes 2 servings

Turn on the BBQ and lightly spray the grills with the avocado oil spray. Remove all leaves from the organic cauliflower head. Evenly cut the bottom of the cauliflower to create a flat base, this will make cutting the steak slices easier. Cut the cauliflower into 2 even, thick slices, these will be used as the steaks. I personally like to start by cutting the cauliflower in half. The left over cauliflower can be cut into florets and used as a snack. In a small bowl add the avocado oil, lemon juice, sea salt, pepper and thyme, stirring until it is mixed well. Coat each side of the cauliflower steaks with the mixture. Reduce the BBQ heat to medium and cook for 5-6 minutes per side, or until the bottom is slightly charred. Remove from BBQ, let cool and enjoy!

Benefits:

Cauliflower is high in vitamins and minerals, including vitamin C and K. Vitamin K is said to play an essential role in maintaining healthy body function.
