I try to be honest so this is actually what I ate yesterday, Sunday, but I repeated most of it with leftovers today!
For breakfast I sliced some whole wheat sourdough and layered on some hummus and greens and apple with a drizzle of honey.
Then, for lunch I whipped up some chickpea “chicken” salad by crushing up a can of chickpeas and then throwing in raisins, apple, green onion, and celery. I then take hummus and thin it with lemon juice to make a sauce to hold it all together. I ate this with pita bread and fresh cherries. Yum!
For a snack I enjoyed 3 cookies. I make these cookies using a can of white beans!! They are so yummy and packed with fiber and bean goodness.
Basically mix the dry ingredients: pulse up 3/4c rolled oats in food processor till it’s flour like and mix it with a cup of whole wheat flour, 1tsp baking powder, 1/2 tsp baking soda, sprinkle of cinnamon and salt.
Then drain the can of white beans but save the fluid. Put a cup of the beans in your food processor with 1/4c until sweet applesauce, 1/2c raw sugar, 1/2 tsp vanilla, and 1 TBSP of the bean liquid. Purée it all up and add to your dry ingredients and stir till moistened.
Then add in 1/4c rolled oats and the rest of the bean liquid with 1/2c vegan chocolate chips. Make balls and flatten a bit before baking 12-15min at 350 degrees.
For dinner I made an easy summer dinner that was a mixture of a can of black beans (drained and rinsed), a cup of corn, diced red bell pepper, diced cherry tomatoes, diced avocado, and green onions. I add a sauce that is 1 TBSP whole grain mustard with 2-3 TBSP fresh lime juice, 1 TBSP oil, and 1 tsp cumin. Mix it all together and serve with chips and fresh pineapple-strawberry fruit mix for a yummy summer dinner!
Happy eating Plant Eaters!
