Fruit and Veggie Pulp Chips

A better option than store bought, plastic packaged, veggie chips

My girlfriend has been juicing a lot recently, which extracts a lot of the fruit or veggies nutrients and leaves behind excess pulp (fiber) that usually goes to waste.

Weโ€™re always looking for ways to reduce waste, so this week she used the pulp and made these veggie chips.

She added spices, soy sauce, and ground flax seed to the pulp, and then formed it in to chip shapes, and placed them in the dehydrator for 12 hours.

We woke up to these healthy, tasty, and crispy chips.

A light healthy snack: Apple, Nuts, Nut Butter Drizzle

Balanced and nutritious snack for any time of day

Long day today after a long week. I didnโ€™t get to workout until 5 pm. I finished at 6, did some other chores, and before I knew it it was 6:45.

I wanted a snack before a late dinner, so this is what I had.

3/4 sliced apple. Pecans, almonds, walnuts, Brazil nuts. Drizzle of Nutzo Keto Nut Butter.

Glass of soy milk.

I love nut butter, and Iโ€™ve been eating a ton of it recently, but in reality is is a processed food. In this case that means, to me at least, that Iโ€™m not getting the digestive benefits of having to chew and digest a nut. So, I cut back the nut butter and added more nuts.

I have no idea how much of a difference it makes, if any, but I think there has to be some logic to it.

Anyway, this is a nice healthy snack thatโ€™s okay to indulge in.

Cheers
