Spring rolls are so light and refreshing and they're so healthy too. Great way to kick off a clean eating and clean those arteries plan especially when you let a few too many indulging binges set in. It's time to regroup and recorrect. I already did a nice stretchy yoga practice the other day to stretch those arteries — Dr. Oz says elastic arteries are very good for you and yoga is the best way to get there — so now, what better way to blast them clean with a clean eating plant based diet. Besides, it makes me feel like spring even though we're heading into ol' man winter again. ;)
Ingredients
• orange peppers (go wild and choose whatever colours you like)
• alfalfa sprouts (go wild again and choose whatever sprouts float your boat)
• baby spinach or mixed greens
• shredded carrot slaw
• rice paper
• hummus (I have a red pepper version here)
• protein of choice (quinoa, fish, shrimp, chicken, etc. I used chicken.)
Directions
Start by putting very warm water into a large frying pan. Soak and roll one rice paper at a time. Place the rice paper in the water and soak for about 30 seconds to a minute until pliable. Gently place on a cutting board and place your ingrediants in the bottom third of the paper lengthwise. Fold over one end and roll halfway then fold the sides and complete the roll. Continue doing this one at a time. To serve put a dollop of hummus or as I do go wild with the hummus on every bite. Yum!
If you don't plan on eating them right away wrap them individually in saranwrap or wax paper and store.
