GARLIC DILL SWEET POTATO WEDGES (Serves 4-6)
INGREDIENTS: (all organic if possible)
3 sweet potatoes
¼ cup coconut oil
¼ teaspoon garlic powder
¼ teaspoon sea salt
⅛ teaspoon paprika
3-4 tablespoons fresh dill, minced
DIRECTIONS:
Cut sweet potatoes in half lengthwise, the cut each half into 4-5 wedges.
Place wedges in a bowl, cover with water and add ice, about 2 cups worth. Let wedges sit in ice for 30 minutes.
Preheat oven to 450 degrees.
Remove wedges from water and pat dry.
Place wedges back into a large, dry bowl. Add melted coconut oil, garlic powder, sea salt, and paprika. Toss wedges to coat.
Place wedges on a cooling rack on top of a baking sheet to help cook on both sides (if you don't have a cooling rack, just cook on parchment paper lined baking sheet and flip half way through cooking).
Bake wedges for 30-35 minutes until cooked through and browned.
After cooked, let cool for 5 minutes then toss wedges in the bowl with fresh dill. I used the same bowl that I had first tossed the wedges in with oil, the oil helps coat the wedges a little more and keep the dill sticking to the wedges.

One simple way to increase your intake of fruits and vegetables is to incorporate smoothies into your diet. Making a smoothie every morning as part of a daily routine can dramatically improve your health!
Smoothies are blended drinks that combine leafy greens with fruits, veggies and healthy fats, such as almonds, hemp seeds, flax and coconut. Popular leafy greens include spinach, kale, rainbow or Swiss chard, mint, parsley and collard greens. I prefer to use all fresh, raw ingredients, but using frozen fruit creates a thicker, ice cream-like texture!
Health Benefits of Smoothies:
*Provide you with the full spectrum of nature's bioavailable vitamins, nutrients, and antioxidants
*Give you plenty of natural fiber to ensure excellent digestion
*Increase energy
*Weight Loss
*Help empower your immune system to protect you from illness
