Vegan MoFo ~ Midweek Eats Wrap-Up!

One of the posts from yesterday was about my NEW Favorite Creamy Vegan Tomato Sauce!  Yes...fresh is BEST but if you are feeling lazy or just want to give this one a whirl - it's darn right amazing!  So here is what I did with the sauce and it turned out terrific!  I did Brown Rice Pasta and mixed veggies.  Veggies were...Asparagus, Broccoli, Carrots, and Green Beans.  Also in the mix there were mushrooms and I added about a teaspoon of Hemp Seeds for the heck of it.  YUM!
This was one of my dishes from the end of last week!  Again Brown Rice Pasta but a different kind and the veggies were peas, corn, broccoli, carrots, and I think a small amount of edamame.  With this one, tho, I used Wildtree Wasabi Ginger Sauce for the flavor and it was GREAT!
And FINALLY...this wonderful SMOOTHIE.
Another spectacular attempt if I do say so myself!  Here's what I used...

2 C Coconut Water
1 Banana
1 C Frozen Mango
1/2 Lime
(optional) Fresh Mint OR NuNaturals Mint Stevia

I have to say that this is the BEST Wheatgrass related I have had to date!  Thanks GoL!
 
AND...speaking of Garden of Life...you still have time to enter the contest for their Chocolate Cacao RAW PROTEIN...click here!  And stay tuned...I will have another giveaway starting today and ending FRIDAY.

    1. I noticed some bigger chains like Wegmans (not sure if you have them in your area) or Whole Foods or Trader Joe's has frozen Wheat Grass "shots". I bet those would work, too! BUT...once you try some of these GoL Powders and find your fave you won't look back!
