on a low heat .

sweetener and mix well with a metal balloon whisk.
• Taste the mix and add more sweetener if required
and blend all the ingredients well (CHOC mix should
be smooth and runny).
• Take off the heat and spoon half of the mix into silicone

NUTRITIONAL YEAST
• high source of protein, vitamins,
especially B-complex.
• naturally low in saturated fats,
cholesterol, and sodium
• free of sugar, dairy, and gluten.
It has a strong flavor that is described
as nutty, cheesy or creamy which
makes it easier to avoid dairy. It can
be used to make all kinds of cheesy
toppings and spreads. Great for nacho
sauces but my favorite is this healthENut
popcorn recipe below.

		PUMPKIN SEEDS: This Halloween, don’t forget to save those pumpkin seeds after you scoop them out of the pumpkin. • Wash well and pull any orange pumpkin off of them. • Drizzle with a good, quality Olive Oil (like RALLIS). • Sprinkle with sea salt or your favourite seasoning. • Dehydrate until crisp or put on low heat in the oven. Pumpkin seeds are not only delicious but also provide many health benefits. Pumpkin seeds are high in Zinc, they are 29 per cent protein and rich source of Omega 3, B-complex Vitamins and Calcium. They also have anti-inflammatory properties and are high in fiber. This is a great thing to do with the family.
