Cook noodles as directed

Put pine nuts in pan to toast up. Stir as toasting. ( done when fragrant).

Add olive oil and anchovies to pan. Disinigrate anchovies in olive oil to make a light anchovie sauce.

Healthy Green Smoothie

Try this smoothie jam packed with lots of amazing nutrients for your body. I recommend using a vitamix blender if possible to make blending easy.

Greens of Choice

3-4 dates or organic berries

1 tbs of Flax or Chia Seeds

Water or Milk Alternative

Ice if desired

Pack your blender full of greens of choice. I like to add a mixture of spinach, kale, parsley, romaine, beat tops, chard etc. push them down to fit in as many as possible until blender is about 3/4 full.

Add in dates or organic berries of choice. I like to add frozen berries in place of adding ice.

Add in flax or chia seeds.

Fill with liquid of choice up to top of where greens are in blender.

Blend and enjoy!

This makes 2 smoothies. I usually store in mason jars until I am ready to consume.
