Breakfast | Chocolate Banana Peanut Butter Smoothie

2 Handfuls Raw Almonds
1 Glass Water (about 2 ½ Cups)
2 Cups Frozen Bananas
2-3 Pitted Medjool Dates (soft or softened)
1 Big Spoonful (1+ Tbsp) Raw Cacao
1 Big Spoonful (1+ Tbsp) Peanut Butter
1 tsp Maca Powder
½ tsp Reishi Powder
1 spoonful Chia Seeds

Blend and serve!

Lunch | Roasted Veg n’ Turmeric Quinoa Tacos with Kiwi
Not recorded, simply roasted vegetables the night before in salt, pepper, a little oil with fresh herbs. Then some rice and quinoa mixed with onions, garlic and peppers plus some spices like turmeric. The next day I combined them in a wok with some tamari sauce and then served it in tortillas with kiwi on the side. :)

Dinner | Vegan Omelettes

½ Cup Dairy Free Milk
1 ½ Tbsp Apple Cider Vinegar
1/3 Block Non-GMO Organic Tofu (Firm or Soft, Soft recommended, firm is ok)
2 Tbsp Chickpea Flour
1 Tbsp Starch (arrowroot, tapioca, potato, corn)
½ tsp each: Paprika, Turmerica, Black Pepper, Red Chili Flakes (or less if desired), garlic powder and about ¼ tsp salt.
2 Tbsp Nutrtional Yeast (I was out so passed but would have added it if I had it.)
2-3 Cloves Garlic
Opt: 1 Tbsp Coconut Oil or Butter
Favorite toppings – We just used a tomato and onion slices with parsley to top. You could have a lot more fun!

Peaceful Preparation:

Add the dairy free milk and apple cider vinegar together in a small dish and mix well or whisk, set aside for 5 minutes.
Add everything to a blender, including the dairy free milk mixture. Blend until it is nice and smooth, scrape down the sides and blend again if needed.
Heat a non stick pan or griddle, add a little oil and then pour half of the batter to create the first omelette. Let this cook for a few minutes, you can cover to help. Add your favorite toppings, flip, cook for another 2-3 minutes, and serve. Now repeat with the balance of the batter. Serve it hot! Add a sprinkle of parsley or your favorite herb.
