What are you Eating Now? (healthy foods!)

I thought I'd start logging healthy recipes or foods that I come across as well as encourage people to share their recipes and healthy foods they're eating that's alkalizing and/or energizing!

For example, just last nite, i experimented with making raw hummus - i think a few more times til i can perfect it tho.

i don't have exact measurements, so i'll just put up what i did:

TRIAL #1 -
Makes Yo Mama Cry - SPICY, flavorful, raw, vegan Hummus:
(experimental stage right now)

* 2cups of dried garbanzo beans
--> (water soaked over 2 nites changing water daily), then sprouted them over 2 days to maximize nutritional value, washed and drained;

* water;
* lemon;
* tahini paste (found that ground raw almonds with olive oil (or any cold pressed oil) work just as well - after tasting the tahini paste);
* olive oil;
* sea salt;
* red bell pepper (and/or tomato and/or cilantro) for a change of taste!
* half of a small harbanero pepper OR cayenne pepper;

blend in blender til smoothe - add water til right texture.

it actually tasted ok for a first time trial. it's too gritty to eat raw, but i have to experiment more with texture. i had to cheat and cooked half of it (added more water and brought to boil) THEN mixed cooked with raw and the texture came out better. again, work in progress!
