Two for one recipe

Every morning a make a freshed pressed veggie juice and drink up some sweet nutrition.

Carrots
Kale or Chard
Slice of ginger
Celery

Sometimes I'll opt for beets, parsley or other leafy greens in the mix.

Often I mix in a green powder. Right now I'm using GreensRx by Enerex. I also like Greens+ extra energy natural orange flavor.

With the left over pulp, I blend it in the Vitamix with some flaxseed (ground up in the coffee grinder) and spices, either pizza flavor or taco seasoning and a little water to mix to a fairly thick consistency. Then I divide spoonfuls prepared like cookies on a dehydrator tray. I let them dry at about 100 degrees for 12-18 hours, until they are crisp like crackers. They are awesome with avocado or pate, alone or crushed up in a salad.
