Nori Veg Rolls

Ingredients:

• Hummus (recipe here)
• 1 carrot, peeled with a vegetable peeler into strands
• Leafy greens (spinach, baby kale, arugula all work great)
• 1/2 Avocado
• Nori sheet (i love this brand)
• Sriracha (I use this)

 METHOD:

• It's quite simple to make these rolls. Pile it all in, roll it up and eat! 
• I do recommend staying away from things that have a high liquid content (like tomatoes, salad dressing, etc) as they can soak through the nori and get quite messy. 
• And the trick to get them to stay together beautifully is a very light smear of hummus along the edge.  it binds it all together when you wrap it up. 

Noops Notes: If you are not fond of seaweed you can use the same ingredients to make a sandwich although I highly recommend adding some form of seaweed into your diet and these rolls are a easy and tasty way to do so. Also, its best to eat these rolls as soon as you make them, because they tend to get soggy quickly.

Alternative Recipes: For a snack, toast strips of nori in the oven at low heat. Or cover a sheet with cooked brown rice; add a layer of sliced carrots, celery, or avocado, and a dash of wasabi. Roll it up and dip in a sauce of tamari, toasted-sesame oil, ginger, and rice vinegar. 

Seaweeds Health Benefits: 

Among the marine flora, nori is one of the richest in protein (up to 50 percent of the plant's dry weight), and one sheet has as much fiber as a cup of raw spinach and more omega-3 fatty acids than a cup of avocado. Nori contains vitamins C (a potent antioxidant) and B12 (crucial for cognitive function) and the compound taurine, which helps control cholesterol.
