Ingredients
- 1 medium-sized zucchini sliced length-wise using a large vegetable peeler

- 1/4 cup carrots sliced thinly
- 1/2 avocado
- 1/2 cup alfalfa sprouts rinsed and dried

Instructions
- Wash and dry all veggies. I recommend rinsing the sprouts and leaving to drain in a strainer over a small bowl.
- Using a large vegetable peeler, slice long, lengthwise stripes of the zucchini and place across a large cutting board.
- Chop carrots into short, thin stripes, and place width-wise along the zucchini.
- Cut cream cheese into small pieces and place atop the zucchini.
- Sprinkle with hemp hearts.
- Add alfalfa sprouts, avocado, crab slices, and parsley.
- Start at one end and gently roll up the sushi, securing with a decorative food toothpick.
- Roll all pieces and arrange on a serving platter to enjoy immediately, or store in fridge for use within a few hours.
