BRUSSELS SPROUTS CHIPS


7-10 brussels sprouts
1 tsp. olive oil (I use my Misto olive oil sprayer)
1/4 tsp. salt

Preheat oven to 350 degrees.



To remove outer leaves of brussels sprouts, use a sharp knife to trim off the very very edge of the bottom. Outer leaves should fall off easily. Once outer leaves are removed, trim the bottom again, removing more leaves. Continue removing leaves until they become difficult to peel off.



Save the center of each brussels sprout for another recipe. (i roast them in the oven with garlic for soups)



Spread leaves out in a single layer on baking sheets lined parchment paper. Spray with EVOO and I give them a little rub down to evenly coat!!



Roast for 10 minutes, then check leaves. Remove any that are crisp. Place baking sheet back in the oven and check every few minutes until all leaves are crisp. A little browning on the edge of the leaves is fine, but don’t let the entire leaf turn brown or it will become bitter.
Serve immediately.



THESE ARE DELICIOUS!!!!!!!!!!
they have a little roasted nutty flavor, crispy, salty with a hint of olive oil infused in!!

IP DISCLAIMER...THIS IS AN ALTERNATIVE RECIPE AND NOT FOR IP PHASE 1 OR 2!!

i love lemon....i love the smell...i love the taste...i love the zing!!!
i have tried and tried every IP lemon product and some alternatives from nashua nutrition (take my advice and don't order the lemon meringue bars YUK to the tenth degree)

2 tbsp liquid egg whites
1 tbsp milk

WANNABiTE?????????

yum!!!! makes 8 cookies!!! yes...i ate one already!!



this is what i used....



mix IP wild berry yogurt powder with 1/2 tsp baking powder in a small bowl and 1 tbsp sweetener of choice, i used stevia in the raw.



i added 3 TBSP egg white and 2 tsp coconut oil into my magic bullet hopper with the flat blade....i blended a few seconds...it was lumpy...but that is ok because the coconut oil melts into the cookies!!

you could use evoo!!



it makes a nice thick dough!!!



i dropped by spoonfuls onto parchment paper...
oh yeah baby 8 cookies!!!!!




i spray the tops lightly with some coconut spray...
so that it makes them easier to pat flat and not have them stick...
but you could probably use a teeny bit of water on your fingertips as well.



i patted them all flat!! then baked for 10 mins on 350 degrees!!



the edges are nice and crispy crunchy and the middle is ever so slightly chewy!! the best of both worlds!! if you want totally crunchy, let them bake a little longer.

you an enjoy them like this...OR....
if your coach allows soy products...like tofutti....



mix 1 oz tofutti with 1 tsp lemon extract and zest of 1 lemon...
save the lemon and a little zest for your lemonade!!





add the sweetener of choice...1 tbsp.



MIX WELL!!!



divide evenly on top of your cookies....
and spread evenly....
don't forget to lick the knife....and the bowl!! yum!!!!



i sprinkle the tops with a little stevia and true lemon powder!!!


WANNABiTE???????

if you want a ginger lemonade....just juice your lemon...add some lemon zest, a packet of true lemon, the lemon juice, 1 tsp ginger, and ice and water and blend!!!





add sweetener to taste...not too much though....
DRiNK iT TANGY!!!!

i used LEMON DROP stevia drops!!



ENJOY!!!!!!!!!!!
