The Urban Vegetarian - Season 1 Episode 5 -

Host Desiree Nielsen has healthy cooking down to a science, but her inner foodie always amps up the taste factor. She shows us a vitamin packed smoothie, blending kale, frozen fruit, avocado, and a natural sweetener: maple water. Greek yogurt for breakfast is ho-hum, until Desiree shows us that tangy and sweet beets - yes, beets - give this boring meal a whole new life. Next up, some amazing snacks for entertaining guests: white bean and artichoke dip, tamari almonds, and kale chips. Healthy and easy. Then, it's time for some light baking with cheese and herb puffs, satisfying little pillows of yum with delicious parmesan and pecorino. Finally, for dinner its cauliflower steak with a raisin caper sauce, a dish destined to be one of your favorites.
