Vegan Cuisine: What’s for Breakfast? Vegetables, fresh from the garden
I made this dish earlier today. This meal can be served for any meal. It’s a low fat, healthy, and delicious. I call it easy vegan cuisine. Guess what? You don’t have to be vegan or vegetarian to eat it. It’s simple, nutritious, and delicious.
What was in it? zucchini squash, cherry tomatoes, and one yellow onion. They all came from my garden. A quick meal that was ready in less than five minutes. I’ll post the simple recipe, along with pictures of the produce, on my vegan recipe website. The recipe should be posted by tomorrow afternoon.
We usually eat fruit for breakfast, but I thought this was a nice change. Smoothies were naturally on the list and yes it was another green smoothie. Our smoothie contained apple juice, kale, peaches, bananas, and strawberries. It was delicious.
I recently added a new client (I occasionally refer to myself as their eating coach) we are working together on her eating habits. She isn’t overweight and is “healthy” by Western standards but she feels that she should be making healthier choices. She’s unsure if she wants to go veggie. I assured her that she can be healthy without being veggie it’s all about the choices she makes. She also wants to cut back on her alcohol consumption. Consuming too much can actually weaken your immune system, is damaging to your heart, liver, vision, many other health related problems.
We’ve had some interesting discussions by email and phone. I make sure that I emphasize that making changes in your eating lifestyle can be challenging. For many it will be best to take baby steps, giving themselves time to make the transition. Being knowledgeable about the foods you are consuming along, and seeing the direct results of the benefits of eating healthier can be extremely helpful. Also learning how easy it is to maintain a healthy eating lifestyle can people the confidence they’ll need to continue. As I tell people I won’t always be around to help a person forever it’s how you perform after I’m gone.
It’s a busy day in the vegan momma household I’m knocking out a few articles and getting ready for vacation. We will be leaving out early Monday morning we’ll be returning the following the following Sunday.
Question: What’s on your menu today?
