Green Machine Bowl

Directions

1. *Green Machine Sauce Substitution notes: If you do not want to use vegenaise or olive oil because yo are avoiding oil or fat, you can replace it with ONE of the following ingredients: - 1/2 cup steamed cauliflower - flesh of 1/2 an avocado - 1/3 cup white beans or chickpeas - 1 tbsp tahini - 1/3 cup fava beans - 1/3 cup cashews or pine nuts - 1/3 cup plain yogurt (or non-dairy yogurt)
2. Prepare Green Machine Sauce. Add all sauce ingredients to a food processor and pulse to evenly blend. Scrape down the sides and blend until smooth and creamy. Taste! Adjust salt to your taste. Add cracked black pepper if you like that, I don't use a lot of pepper as it tends to make my throat scratchy.
3. Prepare Green Machine base. Fill a medium sauce pan with enough water to fill 2/3 of the pot. Add salt. Bring to a boil. Add millet grits and stir. Reduce heat to medium and let simmer, stirring frequently to prevent millet from sticking to the bottom. Add chia seeds and cinnamon and stir quickly to incorporate as they quickly attach to themselves. Continue to simmer for 7 minutes, stirring often. Add quinoa flakes and stir to incorporate. Continue to simmer for 3 more minutes, the mixture should be thick. Turn off heat. Add the kelp flakes and stir to incorporate. Scoop millet-chia mixture into two serving bowls.
4. Pulse the sauce again in the food processor to ensure no oil separation. Pour half the sauce over each bowl of millet-chia mixture. Top each serving with a dash of the garlic salt. Serve immediately.
