Hummus, Spinach and Sprout Sandwich

Super Easy Lunch!
We use sprouted Ezekiel Bread due to wheat intolerance.
This does call for making the hummus and sprouts ahead of time which requires planning.  After you've taken care of this...
Just spread the hummus on the bread, sprinkle on some sprouts, and add some spinach.  Slice up an orange and you have a delicious lunch.

How to Sprout Hulled Sunflower Kernels

• To sprout hulled sunflower kernels, rinse them thoroughly in cold water to remove any debris from packaging. Place them in a bowl of water and allow them to soak for 12 hours. The tiny kernels will swell slightly. Drain the water and remove any skins that cling to the kernels. Allow the kernels to set for another 12 hours at room temperature to encourage sprouting. A tiny white sprout should be visible at the pointed end of the seed. Your sprouted sunflower seeds are now ready to eat.

How to sprout sunflower seeds.
http://www.ehow.com/how_4430694_sprout-sunflower-seeds.html

Note: I use sprouted sunflowers because sprouting breaks down the enzymes in the seeds and makes them more digestible.  Also, on the Prevent and Reverse Heart Disease plan you do not eat nuts.
