Weight-Loss Apple Nachos
Ingredients
- 100 grams sliced apple just over 1/2 a medium apple

- 9 fresh raspberries 30 grams
- 1/4 tsp. raw hemp seeds 1/2 gram
- ground cinnamon, to taste optional
Instructions
-
Slice your apple: While you can slice your apples as thin as you'd like, I've found about-1/4-inch to be a nice thickness.
-
Layer your apple slices on your serving plate and drizzle with 1-1/4 Tbsp. of the 1-Minute Vegan Caramel Sauce.
-
Top with your berries and raw hemp seeds. You can finish with an optional sprinkle of ground cinnamon if you'd like.
Recipe Notes
Makes 1 serving.
Apples: I like to use crisp apple varieties that are best when eaten fresh. Some great choices are Fuji, Granny Smith, Pink Lady, Gala, Honey Crisp and Cosmic Crisp. Since most of the nutrients reside in the apple skin it's always best if you can get organic varieties. Soak your whole apples in a bowl with water overnight to help remove the food-grade wax coating.
Date Caramel Sauce: I created this 1-Minute Date Caramel Sauce specifically for this apple nacho recipe. It is a simple 3-ingredient recipe that uses date syrup, almond butter and a bit of unsweetened plant milk. If you don't happen to have date syrup on hand you can use the same amount of this recipe instead.
Berries: You can use fresh, frozen or even freeze-dried berries in this recipe. Berries are preferred because they're low in natural sugar and calories. Just be mindful to keep it to about 9 small raspberries and 2 to 3 strawberries sliced or diced.
Raw Hemp Seeds: Just a pinch for some omega-3s and added plant-protein. Good substitutes are flaxseed or chia seeds.
Storage: As written this recipe makes one perfectly-portioned serving. I don't recommend storing any leftovers as the apples will oxidize. This recipe is best served fresh.
