We just celebrated American Thanksgiving… I definitely felt kale should be my main food group this week.

Click on links below to see full recipes:

• Morning Snack: Chia Parfait and Apple Crunch (thank you Green Kitchen Stories!)
• Lunch: Festive Kale Salad with Sweet Apple Cinnamon Vinaigrette and Pecan Parmesan (original recipe is from Oh She Glows)
• Afternoon Snack: Clementine and Classic Glo Bar (original recipe is from Oh She Glows as well)

Notes:

The Chia Parfait and Apple Crunch recipe is delicious and straightforward (thank you to Ella for the recommendation!).  I stored it in small mason jars so I could easily grab one in the morning.  It made enough for 5-6 small servings.

The Festive Kale Salad is perfect this time of year. It is really easy to make, but for the Pecan Parmesan, you need a food processor.  I only used about half the dressing for 4 lunch-size salad servings. I also added a can of mixed beans for more protein.

The Classic Glo Bars are one of my all-time favorite recipes from Oh She Glows.  I didn’t have parchment paper, so I used tin foil (which worked fine).  These bars will stay fresh for over a week if you wrap them individually in tin foil, and then store them in a tupperware container in the fridge.

Grocery List:

*I’m assuming you have butter or coconut oil, cinnamon, ginger spice, sea salt, vanilla, olive oil and maple syrup – but if not, add those to your list as well!

Keep sending me your recipe recommendations – I love trying new things!

Happy lunch making,
