Grain-Free Creamy Kitchari

December 17, 2024 by Alana Sugar, Certified Nutritionist Leave a Comment

This creamy, delicious, grain-free version of an old Indian classic features yellow split mung dal blended with yellow potatoes, vegetables, ghee, and delectable Indian spices. Feel free to use vegetable broth, bone broth, or water, as desired. Pre-soaking the mung dal for 45 minutes to an hour helps to reduce the cooking time and make the kitchari even creamier. This will serve 2-4 people.

February 3, 2023 by Alana Sugar, Certified Nutritionist Leave a Comment

These little meat muffins make a great snack or meal if you’re watching your carbs. Kick Ketchup can be mixed in equal proportions with regular organic ketchup or tomato paste to reduce spiciness. We used dark turkey, however, if using breast meat, adding 1/2 Tbsp olive or almond oil to the recipe makes for a juicier result. For standard muffin tins, the yield is roughly 10-12 depending on optional ingredients added. These freeze well.
