| Blueberry Chocolate Hemp Squares |
1 1/2 cups raw shelled hemp seeds, soaked for 30 minutes
2 cups blueberries (fresh or frozen-and any type of berry)
1/2 cup raw cacao powder
1/3 cup raw agave nectar (could use another sweetener)
1/4 cup filtered water
1/4 cup melted coconut oil (melt on dehydrator for 15 min. or in a shallow bowl over a larger bowl of hot water)
In a blender, combine soaked hemp seeds, berries, cacao powder and agave nectar. Blend at high speed until smooth, scraping the sides down as you blend.
Add water and coconut oil and blend until smooth.
Transfer to a baking dish and refrigerate for 3 to 4 hours until firm enough to cut. I froze mine to be quicker and actually like them frozen. They taste like a blueberry chocolate!
** I really like this recipe for it's versatile possibilities, the taste, the protein and low carb value of the hemp seeds. I have been getting Raw Hemp Hearts from Costco at 14.99 for 28 oz. (which would be hard to beat!) They are also great as an added protein to yogurt, cereal, or salad. I put it on the Raw Pizza and it seemed to add a cheesier flavor. I have also used it to replace pine nuts in a recipe, since pine nuts are out of my price range right now. The flavor is similar.

| Roasted Basil Vegetables |
About 3 cups of small cut veggies of your choice.(broccoli, onions, red and green peppers, zucchini, eggplant and mushrooms)
Toss them in 3 T. of Extra Virgin Cold Pressed Olive Oil, 1 T. dried basil and a t. of sea salt. Lay them on a non stick dehydrator tray for 2-3 hours until they begin to wilt. Use them as a side dish with anything, or just a snack. (they are good cold)
I made a batch yesterday and they are gone today! So good and full of nutrition.
Breakfast- Oat Groats and Blueberries (this is a good stand by to have soaked in the fridge)
Dinner- Left over Taco Salad and the Jicama, Mango Salad
