Ingredients
Green juice
- 1/4 head green cabbage or 1 head romaine lettuce
- 1/2 bunch parsley
- 2 mini cucumbers or 1 large cucumber
- 1/2 lemon juice only
Tortilla chips
- 1 cup green juice pulp
- 1/2 cup cassava flour
- 1/4 cup coconut flour
- 1/2 - 3/4 tsp. pink salt
- 2 Tbsp. olive oil or avocado oil
- 3/4 cup warm water
Instructions
Green juice
-
Chop all ingredients, except lemon, and pass through juicer. Once juiced, squeeze or pour lemon juice into green juice. Mix and enjoy. Set aside juice pulp.

Tortilla chips
-
Line baking sheet with parchment paper and preheat oven to 320 degrees F.
-
In medium bowl, combine cassava flour, coconut flour, salt, green juice pulp, oil and water. Use hands to knead into a dough. If mixture is too dry, add a little more water. If it’s too wet, add a little more coconut flour.
-
Once ingredients are fully incorporated into a dough, roll it into a ball, put it on the baking sheet, put another sheet of parchment paper on top, press it down, and roll it out using a rolling pin or round bottle. Roll it out as thin as possible (it should take up most, if not all, of the baking sheet (about 16-in. x 11-in.). Use a pizza cutter or knife to score it into triangle chip shapes.
-
Brush the top lightly with oil. Bake for 20 minutes, break apart the chips, flip, brush with a tiny bit of oil, then bake another 15-20 minutes or until crisp. If chips are on the thicker side, they will need a little longer to cook.
-
Serve chips with hummus, guacamole, or your favorite dip.
