Yes!  An ‘I Cant Believe it’s a Raw Sweet Potato Chip’ Chip! 

Servings: 2-3

Ingredients:
1 Medium Sweet Potato
1 Tb vegetable oil
coarse sea salt
optional-onion/garlic powder, cayenne pepper, chipotle seasoning…

*Dehydrator required*

Directions:
Peel and slice sweet potato into thin strips with a mandolin slicer, a twisty slicer or a big veggie peeler. Place slices into bowl and sprinkle oil on them. Toss slices to coat. Sprinkle desired seasonings on slices and toss again. Place slices in single layer on dehydrator trays. (one potato will fill several trays) again with salt and seasonings again if desired. (careful of sodium) Dehydrate at 125 degrees for 8-10 hours (depending on thickness of slices) When done slices should be crisp and yummy. Enjoy! If slices are not crisp dehydrate longer, if they are 'hard' the slices may be too thick. If they curl up they may be too thin.

Notes:
A quick, refreshing drink.  It is a staple of my juice fast.  It is easy to make and a joy to drink.  I use a juicer and Magic Bullet to prepare this drink.  You can always try this with a blender but it won’t be as smooth.  My juicer makes the juice taste so much better than I thought possible.

Servings: 1

Ingredients:
Half of one banana
1 peach or nectarine: fresh or frozen; organic if you choose
1 navel orange
4 strawberries: fresh or frozen; organic if you choose
Ice cubes: 4-8 depending on your preference

Directions:
Peach/Nectarine:
Clean, cut in half and remove pit. Cut to fit according to your machine's instructions.

Orange:
Peel and make sure to remove the pith (white stuff) and hard ends.

Juice:
Peach/Nectarine and Orange according to your machine's instructions.

Banana:
Peel and cut one HALF.

Strawberries:
If fresh: clean, remove tops and cut according to your machine's instructions.
If frozen: take straight from freezer.

Blend:
Peach/Nectarine and Orange Juice
Strawberries
Banana
Ice Cubes

Blend until everything is to the consistency you desire. I blend in my Magic Bullet until everything is smooth. My son likes to have small chunks of banana and strawberry. Add additional ice if you want to make a thicker smoothie.

ENJOY!!!
