Spirulina chips

Spirulina Chips!

I am going for a hike today, and so yesterday I wanted to make a fun snack that was not too sweet or salty. And what I did was dehydrate some Spirulina chips. This is very similar to how you would make fruit rolls in a food dryer. I use an Excalibur food dehydrator but you can mimic and approximate by setting to the lowest temperature in the oven and placing in the broiler or with the oven door ajar. The real goal with Raw food is to not heat above 104 degrees. Above 120 degrees you start to destroy the nutrients.

Here is my basic recipe:

2.5 cups of blended or pureed Banana's and Cherimoya (optional)

1/2 cup ground sprouted almond flour

1/4 cup Black Sesame Seeds

1/4 cup Chia Seeds

4 tablespoons Spirulina Powder

2 tablesoons Maca Powder (optional)

2 tablespoons Lemon Juice

Take 4-5 banana's and puree. I had Cherimoya (bread fruit) ripe and thought that would be nice added. Then mix in all ingredients except the Chia Seeds. Add Chia seeds right at the very end and then mix into mixture (Chia and Flax will gelatinize and stiffen if allowed to set). Spread thinly onto drying trays at 105 will take about 4-6 hours (depending on humidity, etc). After spreading I used something circular to cut shape to the chips.

After drying store! Yum now I have a healthy snack to take on the trail! With no added sweetener beyond the fruit!
