How
do we turn mealtimes into a celebration of life?
"Piggy-Back Approach" - Add sprouts to salads, sandwiches,
pasta recipes, soups, deli foods, etc. Boost vitality, nutrient
density. Reduce cost per serving, add freshness, homemade
touches.
"Salad Bar Approach" - Set out Easy-Sprouters with various
sprouts (alfalfa, buckwheat, lentils, rye, mung bean, sunflower,
etc.) along with lettuce, cherry tomatoes, onion, etc. and
variety of dressings. Everyone can create their own salad
and/or add sprouts to other foods at the table.
"Be Your Own Food Company Approach" - Make high-vitality
fast foods: frozen sprout bars, shakes, spreads, dips, etc.
Sprout sesame, sunflower, nuts, grains using No Rinse method,
then freeze along with dried fruit, raisins etc. Grind frozen
sprouts + add-ins in Osterizer¨ Mini-blend Container (3/4
c) or VITA-MIXER™ (3+ c). Serve or re-freeze in lined
sandwich containers. Cut into bars, wrap & label for quick
breakfast, after-school snack.
