Superfood Veggie Skewers

superfood veggie skewers

If you’re looking for an alternative way get your daily dose of greens, then these skewers are totally for you. There’s just nothing quite like biting into tender, juicy, and slightly caramelized veggies that have been kissed by a grill…so bring on the BBQ!

This dish is super easy to prepare and ready to eat in minutes! You can cook these kabobs in advance, chill them, and arrange them on a platter for later, or pop them into your mouth right off the grill. Regardless, they will still taste amazing!

And the best part is, these skewers are not only rich in color, but they are rich in nutrients too. Vegetables are naturally loaded with essential vitamins and minerals, but our Green Bee glaze, powered by mesquite, maca and manuka honey, totally sweetens the deal.

 

Gather This:

Your choice of vegetables, cut into 1 inch pieces
2 tablespoons Green Bee Honey
2 tablespoons Liquid Aminos, Coconut Nectar, GF Tamari, or Soy Sauce
2 cloves of garlic, chopped
1 tablespoon water
1-2 teaspoons apple cider vinegar

 

    Do This:

    1. Whisk together all of your wet ingredients and season to taste. Add a little extra honey to sweeten the deal. If you’d like a thicker glaze, pour the mixture into a small pot and let it reduce over medium-high heat.

    2. Season your veggies as you wish, brush them with the glaze and set them on the grill. Flip your skewers after a few minutes or so, and add more glaze if you’d like. You can also reserve your glaze to pour on top of veggies once they’re finished cooking!

    *  double or triple your wet ingredients for a larger glaze portion.

    Green Dream Matcha Chia Pudding Recipe

    Green Matcha Chia Pudding

    Matcha chia pudding is a vegan, healthy, energizing snack! Created with matcha powder, coconut milk, Green Dream, chia, cinnamon, and vanilla, it's a lovely way to start the day. Plus, you can definitely prep this one the night before – it only takes 5 minutes! 

    Green Dream and matcha team up to make this satisfying and detoxifying pudding an AMAZING source of antioxidants. Spirulina, the star ingredient in Green Dream, is bursting with antioxidants, including zeaxanthin, cryptoxanthin, phycocyanin, betoa-carotein, superoxide dismutase, and lutein. These free-radical fighting molecules bolster the immune system, combat invasive viruses and pathogens, and promote healthy vision and beautiful skin.

    Matcha powder is actually an even more potent source of nutrients! In drinking the finely powdered leaves, your body is flooded with antioxidants called polyphenols, which have been linked to promoting heart health, regulating blood sugar levels, and reducing blood pressure. Matcha also contains another polyphenol called EGCG that's been shown to stop cancer cell growth and support the metabolism–which explains why the price tag on matcha is quite a bit higher than green tea bags!

    This Green Dream Matcha Chia Pudding is a delicious snack and natural form of medicine full of fiber and healthy fats to keep you satisfied all morning! Top it with granola and fresh fruit!

    1 tablespoon vanilla
    ½ teaspoon cinnamon

      Superfood Green Honey Chia Seed Pudding

      Green Dream Chia Seed Pudding

      Chia seed pudding is the PERFECT nourishing and nutrient-dense breakfast or snack that you can prepare ahead of time for the week. It’s creamy, delicious and loaded with fiber, nutrients, protein, and healthy fats. No cooking, no chopping, and literally only a handful of ingredients. 


      The coconut milk makes this pudding so thick and creamy, and loads it up with an ample dose of saturated fats to support brain function and healthy appetites. We’ve also added some Green Dream for a detoxifying and energizing boost of superfoods.


      TIP: You can prepare a few mason jars with chia pudding and leave them in the fridge, they can be easily taken to work for a healthy snack and are perfect after a yoga practice. The chia pudding keeps well for about 3-4 days in the fridge.

      Superfood Green Honey Chia Seed Pudding

      Makes: 1-2 servings


      Gather This:

      ¼ cup chia seeds

      1 ½ cups of canned coconut milk

      1 tbsp superfood honey (we used Cosmic Dream but any raw superfood honey would work!)

      1-2 tbsp Green Dream


      Do This:

      Pour the entire can of coconut milk into a bowl then mix in your chia seeds, honey and Green Dream. Make sure all of your ingredients are combined, then add a large mason jar or storing container. Set your pudding in the fridge to chill (until the chia seeds absorb the liquid- about an hour so).  

      Once ready to enjoy, give it a good stir and add a little sea salt or sweetener to taste, along with some of your favorite toppings.
