Owl Star: Since they are not fully grown, broccoli microgreens are milder than the mature plant. Yet, they are packed with nutrients, including Sulforaphane, a naturally occurring compound, that has shown to have anticancer properties.

Ingredients:

1 cup uncooked couscous

4/5 falafels cut in half (I used frozen ones but you can make your own)

Dried golden raisins and cranberries

1 cup chopped microgeens mix (I used sunflower, pea shoots, broccoli and radish)

Dressing:

Olive oil

Balsamic glaze

Salt, pepper, chipotle pepper and Uniquely pure finishing salt

How to make: Cook couscous and frozen falafels following package instructions. Combine all ingredients and add the dressing. Top with some radish microgreens for a pop of colour and spiciness. Serves 2-4.

Ingredients:

2 cups sunflower microgreens

1 cup mix berries (frozen or fresh if available)

1 banana

3/4 cup oat milk (adjust if needed)

How to make: Combine all ingredients together and blend until desired consistency. Add more milk if needed. Serves 3-4.

Owl Star: Sunflower microgreens are high in zinc which has all manner of benefits including a boost to the immune system and digestive regularity.

Ingredients:

3 eggs

1/2 cup of cottage cheese

1/2 cup flour

2 tbsp olive oil

2 tbsp of lemon juice

1 garlic glove

1 cup of chopped pea shoots

Salt

How to make: Combine all ingredients, except pea shoots, in a food processor or a blender until smooth. Add in chopped pea shoots and pulse. Heat lightly greased skillet over medium heat. Working in batches, add batter 1/4 cup (60 mL) at a time to pan and cook pancakes until bubbles form on top, about 2 to 3 minutes. Flip and cook until pancakes are browned, about 1 minute longer. Makes about 10 pancakes.

Owl Star: Those pancakes are incredibly easy to make and contain to added sugar. Naturally sweet, the pea shoots make them a perfect morning breakfast or a snack. Also, it has been toddler tested and approved :)

Ingredients:

1-2 tablespoon of butter

2 slices of bread

4 slices of ham or turkey

6 thin slices of cheese

One handful of kale

One handful of micro-greens- pea, sunflower, radish

1 tablespoon of mayonnaise or whole grain mustard

How to make: Heat skillet to medium heat, add butter, let melt, and swirl to coat. Add slices of bread to skillet, and place cheese and ham on top of each slice. Cook until cheese begins to melt and the bread is golden. Top one side of bread with mayonnaise/mustard, kale and micro-greens. Flip the untopped slice of onto the other. Transfer to a plate and cut in half. Enjoy :)

Owl Star: Just a little touch of micro-greens will bring this classic to another level of superfood.

Ingredients:

1 cup sunflower micro-greens

2 tbsp tahini (sesame paste)

1 tbsp cococunt oil

Hemp heart (optional)

How to make: Combine all ingredients in a food processor and blend until the desired consistency. You can add some coconut oil as you go depending on the consistency you are looking for. I could not achieve a perfect paste here I think because of my food processor. But the taste was still yummy. Makes 4-6 servings.

OWL Star: Great on toasted bread, apples, or crackers. Because I used the microgreens and not the seeds, I kept the green colour. But with the nuttiness of the sunflower and the Tahini, my 2.5 years old ate one whole slice, so that's a success!
