I'm trying to eat healthier. As a vegan I don't think I really eat that badly, but I have a problem with eating complete meals. I eat a little here and there but never full meals. After work yesterday I went to Trader Joe's and bought some of my favorite food items -- a bag of ripened avocados, extra garlic hummus, herbed focaccia bread, and some frozen fruit (mangoes, strawberries, blueberries, and blackberries). When I got home, this is what I made:
- Avocado and Hummus Sandwich
- 2 slices focaccia bread (or any bread you have)
- 1 small avocado, cut into small chunks
- 3 tbsp hummus
- a couple pinches of mung bean sprouts
The herbed focaccia bread from Trader Joe's isn't sliced, so the first step was to slice the bread! Then I cut open the avocado, pitted it, and cut it into small chunks. I then slathered the bread with hummus, and topped it with the avocado and mung bean sprouts.
- Strawberry Mango Smoothie
- 1 to 1 1/2 cup frozen chopped mango
- 1 cup frozen strawberries
- 1 scoop soy protein powder (I use Trader Joe's brand)
- 1/2 to 1 cup soy vanilla ice cream
- vanilla almond milk
add all ingredients to your blender. add almond milk as needed to keep the blades moving and until the smoothie reaches the right consistency. if it ends up too watery, add more fruit and blend again.
I finished the meal with a package of raw almonds (I accidentally bought a bag of TJ's raw almonds that were in individual packages... next time I'll make sure I just buy one large bag to cut down on plastic waste!)
