Good Day my Fellow Steemians!

Nothing like a good plate of Guacamole and Chips, right?

Did you save that Juice Pulp that I mentioned in my last couple of posts?

What does that have to do with Guacamole and Chips? Well hold on…we’ll get to that in a minute.

This morning I made my usual glass of morning veggie and fruit juice using beets, cucumbers, carrots, spinach, apples and lemon. It was wonderful. I had veggie and fruit pulp left over! I don’t want to throw it away. Fruits and vegetables are so expensive!

A couple of days ago I shared Golden Goodness Juice for @lenasveganliving Fruits and Veggies Contest. here

Yesterday I we had a lovely Pineapple Cake for breakfast which I made from Golden Goodness leftover veggie and fruit pulp. here

Today I would like to share another recipe, something most of us love.

Chips!

Buying vegetable chips can be so expensive, easily $4-$5 a bag. Whew! They’re good for you, much better than potato chips. Wouldn’t you like to make them for pennies? Even better, wouldn’t you like a chip made with the vegetables you want to eat?

If so, then come along, it’s so easy! Oh and don’t forget your fruit and veggie pulp!

Ingredients:

• ¾ cup veggie and fruit pulp
• 3 Tablespoons flax seeds
• 2 Tablespoons chia seeds
• 2 Tablespoons sunflower seeds
• 1 Tablespoon minced fresh garlic
• 1 Teaspoon Ground Sea Salt
• Dash of ground pepper
• ¾ cup filtered water
Note: Feel free to add/delete spices of your choice. If you like flavored chips try your favorite spices! You can also add juice from lime if you like the salty/lime flavor! I wanted to taste the blend of fruits and veggies so I didn’t add many spices. You’ll have to let me know what you do!

Place all in food processor or blender adding water until a mixture forms a nice paste.

Dehydrator:

Spread mixture evenly on dehydrator flexible sheet. Lightly score into 2 inch squares. You may want to flip the sheet over with a second sheet at about 4 hours for even dehydrating. (120 degree setting- 7-8 hours) Dehydrate until very dry!

Oven drying:

Spread mixture over parchment lined cookie sheet evenly. Lightly score into 2 inch squares. Place in the oven at 300 degrees for about 45 minutes. Check often, don’t over bake!

I opted to use my dehydrator.

Allow chips to cool. They should be very crisp! If not dry a bit longer! Store in an airtight container.

Look at these chips! Aren’t they great? Now let’s pull out the Guacamole and, enjoy!
