This is a less expensive way to enjoy vanilla then the expensive vanilla extracts and it only take a few minutes to make.
Ingredients:
2 cups Buckwheat Groats 9 vanilla beans Directions: Place the dry buckwheat groats in your Vitamix high-speed blender. Remove the hard end piece off the vanilla beans and cut the beans into 1" pieces. Place the cut vanilla beans on top of the buckwheat groats in the blender container. Run on high speed for 15-20 seconds or until finely powdered. Refrigerate or freeze in airtight container or ziplock bag.
In the following video I call for 6 vanilla beans with 2 cups of buckwheat groats, however I have recently been making it with 9 vanilla beans instead and I like it better. Use the amount that you prefer.
If you would like us to make it for you, we are now providing it with our Plant-Powered Mixes (under Staple Stash).

Enjoy these crackers as a snack or side. They are great plain or with nut butter, pizza toppings & your favorite cheese or cheese alternative, guacamole, salsa, avocado, salsa, hummus or as croutons for a soup or salad.
They stay fresh for 3 months at room temperature or 6 months in the freezer. Ingredients: Please buy organic ingredients whenever possible, for you and the planet! Step One: 1 medium (8 oz) zucchini, cut into 1” pieces 1 stalk (2.25 oz) celery, cut into 1” pieces 2 carrots (7 oz), cut into 1” pieces 1 medium (6 oz) onion (6 oz), cut into 1" pieces 2 Tbsp. (30 ml) fresh rosemary or 2 tsp. (10 ml) dried rosemary Step Two: 1 cup (4 oz) sunflower seeds 1/4 cup (1.3 oz) sesame seeds 1/4 cup (1.25 oz) almonds 1/4 cup (1 oz) pumpkin seeds Note: It's best if you soak the nuts and seeds for 8-10 hours ahead of time or you can use the nuts and seeds from your staple stash if you have created one!

Step Three:
1/2 cup (2 oz) ground flax seeds 1/2 cup (2 oz) ground chia seeds 1 Tbsp. (15 ml) fresh thyme or 1 tsp. (5 ml) dried thyme Sea salt Directions: Place the ingredients from Step One in a high-power blender. The goal is to get to approximately the 4-cup mark on the blender container. Add more vegetables if necessary. Cover veggies with filtered water just to the top of the vegetables. Blend on high-speed until liquified. This should only take 10-15 seconds. Add the nuts and seeds from Step Two to the blender container and run on high until smooth. This should only take about 20-30 seconds. Transfer the batter to a large mixing bowl and quickly stir in the remaining ingredients from Step Three. Divide batter evenly onto 3 dehydrator sheets lined with Paraflexx or silicone drying sheets. Spread dough out evenly. Score crackers and sprinkle with sea salt, if desired.
Dehydrate at 115°F for 2-3 hours.
Flip crackers onto mesh tray and continue dehydrating at 110°F for another 12-24 hours. Store in an airtight container in a cool, dry place. These will stay crisp for 2-3 months if stored in an airtight container. If they become stale in storage, return to dehydrator at 110°F for 2-3 hours or until crisp again. These stay fresh for 3 months at room temperature of 6 months in the freezer.
If these sound delicious, but you don't have time to make your own, you can order them here.
In the following video I demonstrate how to create a staple stash of soaked, sprouted and dehydrated nuts and seeds to make meal prep a breeze!

These plant-based, gluten-free, grain-free, nutrient-dense wraps are so fast and easy to make you can prepare several batches and freeze them for later. They are great for adding to your "meal planning" routine. They only take a few minutes to thaw when frozen, so you really don't have to plan your meals ahead of time.
Skip down to the bottom of this post if you would like to go straight to the video demonstration.
Ingredients:
Step One: 1 large zucchini (8 oz.) cut into 1" pieces 2 medium avocados (7 oz.) 2 cups water Step Two: 1 cup ground chia seed 1 cup ground flax seed 1 Tablespoon Chili powder Onion powder or granules (optional) Sea salt (optional)
Directions:
Combine avocado, zucchini and water in a high-speed blender (my favorite is the Vitamix) and run for about 10-15 seconds on high until liquified. Transfer to a large mixing bowl and stir in the flax, chia and spices. Spread batter onto a 14” x 14” dehydrator tray lined with ParaFlexx or a silicone sheet. Spread dough out evenly to the edge of the sheet. With a dull kitchen knife, score the wraps into 4 equal squares. Sprinkle with onion granules and sea salt if desired. Dehydrate at 115°F for 2-3 hours. Flip over onto a mesh tray and carefully peel off the ParaFlexx sheet. Continue dehydrating at 115°F until the wraps are dry on the outside, but still flexible, which will generally take another 1-2 hours. If they stay in the dehydrator for too long they will be crisp like a cracker. They will still taste great, but you won’t be able to fold them like a wrap. Store in an airtight container after they are completely cool. They stay fresh in the refrigerator (4-5 days) or freezer (4-5 months). Since they are not completely dry like a cracker, they will need to be frozen if not used within 4-5 days. If you don't own a dehydrator, you can also make these in the oven. Set your oven to the lowest setting. All ovens are different, some go as low as 115°F (46.1°C), however some only go as low as 170°F (76.7°C). If your oven goes as low as 115°F (46.1°C) just follow the instructions here. However if it doesn't go that low you will have to check your wraps every 15-30 minutes as they are drying to prevent them from getting too crispy or burning. They will probably take less than half the normal time to dry.
