VegEssential Snacks

VegEssential is a plant-based protein powder that we recommend at the clinic.  In each scoop it has 27g of protein, 7g of fiber, 2g Omega 3 plant oils, ~5000 ORAC units (antioxidants), 6-8 servings of vegetables and over 100% of RDA of 13 vitamins and minerals.  We recommend having a scoop in your smoothie but if you are looking for other ways to get this super powder in your diet here are 2 recipes to consider.

VegEssential Raw Dark Chocolate Brownies

·        1/2 cup any nut flower (raw almonds, pecans, cashews etc.) – can grind from whole nuts

If needed grind nuts first into powder in food processor.  Add all other ingredients to a food processor until combined (start with the lower amount of water).  Texture should not be too dry nor too wet.  Add water if needed until it forms a ball in the food processor. Grease an 8 inch square pan with coconut oil and press mixture into.  Refrigerate until set.
