Just freeze some diced pineapple and blend it in the Nutri Bullet with 1/2 a cup of sugar free, pure coconut water with pulp. (adjust the amounts to fill at or below the fill line on your Nutri Bullet or blender) Pour into a container and freeze for about an hour or two, remove from the freezer before its frozen solid. Scoop and serve…..that’s It!

Sauteed Cabbage and Apples #Recipe-Vegan, Clean, Healthy and Delicious Eating

recipes

Healthy recipe, clean eating, cabbage, caramelized onion, carrots and apples — Talk about a healthy and delicious dish. This recipe for sauteed cabbage with charred carrots and apples is great as a side to roasted sweet potatoes for a vegan meal. Also fantastic with roasted pork or sausage.

Sautéed cabbage doesn’t need to be boring. Caramelized onions add a deep sweetness and cooking the carrots until slightly charred concentrates the flavor. The apples add a tart fruity-ness that make this a fun family dish.

I circled the core of the cabbage. It's tough and hard to eat so I remove it before you slice the cabbage. — I circled the core of the cabbage. It’s tough and hard to eat so remove it before you slice the cabbage.

Cut the cabbage into quarters through the stem. Then remove the tough core

After you remove the core, slice the cabbage about 1/2 inch thick. Careful, watch those fingers!!
