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

1 Scoop of Garden of Life Wheatgrass

(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.

Vegan Mofo ~ Super GREENS Pesto

I've mentioned before just how AWESOME our Basil Plants are doing on our Rooftop/Container Garden...well...I was FINALLY able to do something with the FRESH Basil!  I think I will call this Super GREENS Pesto!

Here's the recipe:

1 and a half C Brazil Nuts
2 Handfuls of FRESH Basil Leaves
2 tea Lime Juice
Splash of Grapeseed Oil (I used Wildtree's Lemon Flavor)

1 T Nutritional Yeast

1/2 C Water

Optional - but I used these add-ins pictured above - and they were AWESOME:

1 tea GoL's Wheatgrass Juice Powder
Wildtree Lemon Pepper to taste

You can see my FULL Plate for dinner that night, too!  I had White Rice with Pesto on top, Pine Nut Hummus and Raw Crackers, and mixed veggies!

One of the reasons I LOVE the GoL Wheat Grass is because of this...

Our CERTIFIED ORGANIC Greens are sustainably grown by our family farmers here in the USA. We harvest before the grain buds (to prevent gluten from forming) and then juice at the farm immediately after harvest. Our juice is gently low-temperature dried and powdered onsite locking in its nutritionally dense, organic goodness. The end result is highly bioavailable and many times more concentrated in nutrients, including Chlorophyll, than whole leaf grass powders, putting the GREEN IN YOUR GREENS!†

Carrot Wheat Grass Smoothie

Happy Thanksgiving!  Today I have a quick post of a Smoothie that I tried last week and just haven't gotten around to posting yet!  As you can see the color is pretty intense!

Altho this wasn't my BEST attempt at a smoothie - I still wanted to post it because it has a lot of potential.  For me, since it was a smoothie and done in a blender I didn't really like all the pulp.  To be fair...I could have strained it...I just didn't think of that at the time, I guess.  The flavor itself wasn't bad tho!

Another reason why I think this has potential is because I could have juiced it in my juicer and I'm sure the texture would have been much more up my alley!

All I did for this was...

4 Carrots
1 Scoop of Garden of Life's Perfect Food Wheat Grass Juice

An optional Add-In is some REAL Ginger or Ginger Powder, too!

What makes this Wheat Grass Product so special from Garden of Life?  Well, this was my favorite part...1 serving of their Wheat Grass equals 13 Wheat Grass Shots!  Isn't that CRAZY AWESOME!?  Another thing I appreciated was the flavor.  It's potent but pleasant!  If you have ever had Wheat Grass most of the time it can be a bit hard to handle especially your first time around or if your not expecting its powerful PUNCH!  This was a great alternative from sprouting and juicing your own Wheat Grass!
