Here is what we eat on a typical day. For breakfast, I make many different versions of Green Smoothies. They aren't always the color green, but they are called that because we add some form of green plant. My favorite greens are celery, kale and spinach. I also choose from cucumber, parsley, beet greens, chard, and lettuce. I add a banana for their sweetness and then I choose from the fruit I have on hand.
Today I added half a blender full of fresh kale from my garden, strawberries, banana, blueberries, Mexican papaya, and some coconut water to get it started. Then I added a few frozen peach slices to make it nice and cold. Blend it up and yummm Breakfast is served.
For Lunch, I make some form of Salad. Here are some of the creations I have made over the last few days.
Carrot, radish, cabbage, spinach, garden lettuce, red onion, yellow bell pepper, yellow and red cherry tomatoes, baby greens from the garden.
Garden lettuce, spinach, green peas, cucumbers, white radishes, avocado, red and yellow cherry tomatoes, carrots, red onion, raw sunflower seeds - and yes that is a hard boiled egg and a pinch of cheese.
Here is a Dinner we had last weekend while we were camping in our trailer. Amy's Garden burger, thin bun, plus a garden salad. I like a little veganaise (mayo made with grape seed oil) and mustard. Craig loves his with lots and lots of Ketchup.
Other things we eat for Dinner are grain and noodle and bean based. With of course lots of veggies. We do eat eggs occasionally, a little cheese, and once in a while we eat fish and even fewer times we eat organic chicken breast, but we are not eating beef. We believe in eating meat sparingly. So that is what I eat, no sign of trees or bark anywhere.
Yup, it's a Salad Life for me.
Stay tuned for some yummy plant based recipes.
