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!

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.

Cook the organic spinach with 3 tbs water. When sautéed, add 1/8 cup water and the bouillon cubes until they are dissolved. Pour the mixture and the rest of the water into a blender and add 1 package of the firm organic tofu. Blend until creamy consistency is reached, if you find it is not blending add a little bit more water. If you accidentally add too much water you can blend in some extra firm tofu until desired consistency is reached. You can put this on top of pasta, eat it as a dip or enjoy it with some gluten free tortilla chips.

Spinach is loaded with vitamin C. Vitamin C is an antioxidant that contributes to the production of collagen, which can help your body create new skin cells, giving you a more refreshed look.
