We were craving something green.
Something creamy.
Something mouth-watering…soul satisfying (haha, you like that)
Green Socca!
And creamy spinach artichoke salad!!!
We have made a few different varieties of green socca (chickpea flatbread/pancake) before but never shared them on the blog. You all know how much we believe in dark leafy greens and how we try to eat as much of them as we can. And added it to our chickpea flatbread just sound brilliant 
Pure2raw recipe: Green Socca
Ingredients:
- 1 cup garbanzo bean flour
- 1 tsp sea salt
- 1 tsp ground coriander
- 1 1/4 cups water
- 1 large handful of fresh spinach
- 2 tbsp oil (we did coconut oil)

Pre-heat oven to 400. Heat oil in 10 in pizza pan till for about 2 minutes. Place remaining ingredients to your Vita-mix blender and blend together. Pour green socca batter into hot oil and bake for 30-40 minutes.
Pure2raw recipe: Creamy spinach artichoke salad
Re-make of our creamy spinach.
Ingredients:
- 1/4 cup water
- 1 bag of organic spinach
- 1 can of artichokes, rinsed
- 1/4 cup hemp seeds
- 1/4 cup nutritional yeast
- 1/4 cup tahini
- 1/8 tsp nutmeg
- 1/2 tsp basil
- 1/2 tsp oregano
- 1 1/2 tsp yacon syrup
- 1 tsp apple cider vinegar
- 1/2 tsp salt (we have made this twice, and the second time we did 3/4 tsp)
Place all ingredients, except spinach, into a food process or blender and blend till creamy. And toss dressing over the spinach and enjoy!
Sorry for the not so pretty pictures. Some of them were taken at night…I really need to make a light box!!!!!
Twins Question: If you are feeling a little under the weather what do you do to help make you feel better?

I LOVE the sound of this recipe!!! Yum!
I added 2 whole bunches of fresh basil to my socca the other night and it came out green too! It was sooo good. I cut it in quarters and used it as bread for veggie burgers. yum!
as for when I’m sick, I juice a lot. Lots of ginger, apples, cilantro and greens and I make kiwi spinach smoothies.
Amanda – basil sounds perfect for socca! We will have to try it.
This looks perfect! Love it. If I am not feeling well, I try to take a nice hot Epsom Salt bath and drink some warm tea. It definitely helps me relax and feel more rejuvenated!
When I’m feeling a little blah, rest/laying low + extra sleep + clean eats seems to do the trick!!
when i’m feeling blah i drink vitamin C powder mixed in water! also, lots of fresh juices (carrot, beet, ginger etc). i thought for sure i was gonna see an avocado in that mix but i didn’t! i’ll have to try this spinach-artichoke mix, it looks so creamy and delish!
Oh wow- this sounds great! I definitely need to make this- haven’t had artichoke in so long! Great combo of ingredients and flavors!
I have GOT to get some chickpea flour! What a great way to sneak in some extra greens.
Gotta get in that GREEN food.
If I’m under the weather I can take extra supplements and eat well but nothing works better than just resting.
if i dont have something green each day im totally off!
when im feeling under the weather, i load up on vitamin C and make a garlic/ginger tea in the vitamix. it’s disgusting but really opens up the airways!
This looks SO yummy – can’t wait to try it out!
This looks wonderful, another socca version I must try! I usually crave lots of green smoothies, hot tea and frozen grapes when I’m sick.
Christine we have been having one large green smoothie everyday plus lots of hot water with either lemon or fresh ginger. Never tried frozen grapes yet!
Mmmmmmmmmmm Mmmmmmmmmmmm how about I teach you to make sushi at home and you teach me how to make this?! Deal, ok!
When Im not feeling good, rest is key, lots of tea and water, and sleep!!!!
xoxo muah!
Katie – DEAL!
Wow. To die for! I haven’t been inspired to try socca yet, as I don’t really miss bready things at all and my husband doesn’t like chickpeas much, but I have a feeling his daughter would really appreciate this, and I feel like I’d love to try it too!
Hope you’re feeling better soon. Rest, rest, rest and lots of water! And Ginger tea! And otherwise, depends on what sort of ‘under the weather’ you’re feeling, I try all kinds of different herbs depending.
love

This looks phenomenal. I must get my hands on some garbanzo bean flour stat!! And when I’m feeling under the weather, oatmeal is my go-to comfort food. Feel better soon!
yummers! I’ve added chopped veggies and cilantro to my socca before, but never blended greens right into the batter. totally trying this asap. heaping servings of green leafys are absolutely my go-to when I’m feeling off/under the weather. usually in a green smoothie.
Thanks girls, love it – have just started making socca, it’s a winner!!!
Janiece – yay!!
Looks absolutely yum! Love the spinach artichoke salad…making my mouth water!
I LOVE how you guys use artichokes as a sauce base!!! So smart!!! Always ahead of the times, you two!
aww Fartygirl you are too kind!!!
Mmmm! The spinach/artichoke sounds really good!
ok. its official. i need to get on board the hemp seed bandwagon. far too delayed here…
Isn’t socca just the perfect food?? (Okay, I know that you already think so). But green makes it–MORE perfect! Fabulous.
Ladies–we had a tapas party with some friends last night and I made this! Or something very close to it, lol… I had never made socca before and thought that it would be perfect for the Mediterranean theme. The only person who didn’t love it was my husband (we have such different taste, unfortunately), and even he thought it was pretty good. Everyone else thought it was wonderful, including me!
I’ll blog about it soon (maybe Monday?) and let you know when I do.
love
Ela
