Avocado and Moringa Hummus

Super simple, fast and healthy avocado and moringa Hummus.

Want to change it up from traditional Hummus? Try this new recipe I made this week! Avocado and Moringa Hummus. We eat a ton of Hummus at our house, and since I was trying to come up with a Moringa Recipe I thought Why not add it to hummus. And since my Moringa guacamole was so good and such a hit, I thought hey, why not add avocados to the mix! Therefore Avocado And Moringa Hummus was born!

That’s how this recipe was born!

Preparation time : 10 mins NO BAKING, in other words, this is a fresh summer recipe!

VEGAN – HEALTHY – OIL FREE – GLUTEN FREE –

INGREDIENTS :

1 Can Of chickpea (drained);
1 ripped Avocado;
1-2 tbs of Moringa powder;
1 lime or 1/2 a lemon;
a tbs of chopped garlic;
salt & pepper to taste;
dash of hot sauce to taste (not necessary);
1 tsp of Cumin (optional);
1/4 cup of water.

Preparation :

In a food processor, start by crushing the chickpea first for 15 sec. Then add the rest of the ingredient but not the water. Mix for 1 mins or until well mixed. You might need to stop and scrape the sides half way through. Then add the water slowly while mixing and stop when the texture is smooth.

There are many reasons to eat more fibers regularly in your diet. Above all, it keeps you healthy. So try to add a little bit more of it in your diet everyday. Chickpea is a wonderful way of doing so!

Avocado and Chocolate pudding Pie

Healthy Avocado and chocolate pudding Pie.

Preparation time: 15 Mins

NO BAKING – VEGAN – HEALTHY – FAST – DECADENT

I am convinced that the whole family will love this healthy avocado chocolate tart. I made this last night because the kids made me believe it was father’s day! haha, it’s next week! But with my crazy schedual, I didn’t even know that they were kidding. But I had to come up with a dessert and since I didn’t have much time it needed to be fast. And to had more challenge I had to work with what was in the fridge!

Lucky for me I had avocados and a left over of coconut cream !

So without wasting time, here’s the ingredients.

Chocolate Pudding pie filling Ingredients:

2 Big Avocados (adjust if you have small ones);
3/4 can of coconut cream;
1/4 cup of agave or maple syrup;
1 tsp of vanilla;
3 or 4 tbs of cacao powder (adjust to taste);
pinch of salt.

Mix all the ingredients in a blender and mix until smooth. Refrigerate for 30 mins before you fill your pie crust. If you want healthier dessert you can also make this in individual pudding instead of a pie. And decorate with fresh berries. You could also serve this pudding as a “frosting” for my vegan chocolate muffins.

Pie crust ingredients:

3/4 of a box of Oreo cookie;
1/4 cup of melted vegan butter or coconut oil.

Pie crust preparation:

Crush the Oreo cookies in the food processor to make Oreo crumbs.
Transfert in a bowl and mix in melted butter.
Pour Oreo mixture into a 9-inch pie pan.
Press Oreo mixture evenly to cover the bottom and sides of the pie pan.
Refrigerate crust for an hour before filling.

in conclusion, 30 mins later you have yourself an incredible dessert everyone will eat without guilt and they will all think that you have spent hours making!

Comment if you try this avocado and chocolate pudding Pie. and let me know how it went and if everyone loves it.

Enjoy,

4 ingredients Spinach & Moringa Tortillas

Easy 4 ingredients Spinach and Moringa tortillas

Preparation time : 10 Mins / Cooking time : 20 Mins

Ingredients:

one Package or a whole bunch of Spinach
2 cups of whole wheat flour (can also use spelt or any type of flour)
1/4 cup of water (the quantity can vary depending on how wet your spinach are).
1 tbs of Moringa or if you use to the taste of Moringa go ahead and use 2 tbs.

Preparation :

Water sauter your spinach until they are tender. About 4-5 mins. Add them to the Blender with 1 or 2 tbs of water and mix until it is a pure.

In a bowl, Mix your spinach puree with 1 cup of flour and the Moringa. After well mixed, add gradually the other cup of flour and reserve some if you feel it is not needed. Then you will judge if your Dough is good looking or if you need to add a little bit of water or a little bit of flour.

Cut your dough in 8 pieces. Use a rolling pin to roll 8 rounded shape tortilla. Cook them each side for about 2 mins, or until you see some brown spot on med/high heat. Depending on the pan you will cook them in you might have to use a little bit of vegetable oil. You can test the first one if it sticks, if not you don’t have to use oil, if yes, you know what to do. In other words, use oil!

When one is done cooking, stack it on top of the last one you cook. This will give them some humidity and they will be easier to garnish. In other words, they won’t crack!

Garnishing:

Garnish your super healthy green tortillas with anything you like. However, try to keep it healthy! hihi! In the top the picture, I garnished them with grilled veggies (red, yellow and green peppers, grilled garlic powder cauliflower, corn, black bean, and salsa. And I topped the whole thing with my version of a vegan sour cream (veganaise, lemon juice, and cucumbers). We also added spicy sauce before we dug in, we love the kick!

In conclusion, they were delicious, the whole family loves them. Even the kids!

Let me know how your healthy tacos night went, and what did you garnish them with!;)
