MAGICAL COOKIE SMOOTHIE

1 cup ice

2 scoops Whey Protein Powder (or 1 scoop of Plant Protein Powder)

1 scoop Cocoa Hx

1 Probiotic Hx (just the powder inside the capsule)

1 ½ Tablespoons nut butter (peanut, almond, or cashew)

1 Tablespoon raw honey

1 Tablespoon unsweetened coconut flakes

1 teaspoon raw organic coconut oil

HEALTHY HOLIDAY LATKES

2 ½ cups shredded potatoes (regular or sweet), bonus if you can get  this already shredded

2 ½ cups shredded zucchini

¾ cup all-purpose flour

½ cup Plant Protein Powder

1 ½ teaspoons baking powder

3 eggs

Sea salt and fresh cracked pepper taste

4 Apples

1 cup plain Greek yogurt

1/3 cup Beets Hx

Pre-heat oven to 350′. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper and set aside. Core and slice apples into 36-40, or 10 equal slices per apple. Put onto baking sheet and lightly sprinkle with a dash of sea salt.

Put shredded potatoes and zucchini into a cheesecloth and squeeze out water into a bowl or sink. Get as much water out as the drier you get the potatoes and zucchini the better. Once this is completed, put dry potatoes and zucchini into a dry, large bowl.

In a separate bowl combine all-purpose flour, Plant Protein Powder, baking powder, salt and pepper and mix until combined. Set aside.

In another bowl, add eggs and beat with a fork. Add to potatoes and zucchini.  Toss together. Add dry ingredients and mix everything until well combined.

Form mixture into 16-18 equal sized patties (will look like haystacks). Put into an air fryer at 375′ for 15-20 minutes, or until golden brown and cooked through.

While these are air frying, put the apples into the oven for 15-20 minutes, or until soft yet cuttable.

While everything is cooking, mix together the Greek yogurt and Beets Hx until well combined.

Once everything is fully cooked, top latkes with a dollop of yogurt and top with 2 baked apple slices. Serve and enjoy!

1 scoop Oranges Hx
