Chia breakfast and BLT wraps

These have been my two most common foods this week. And my chia breakfast I've been having for months and months now.

Chia Cereal:
3 tbsp chia seeds
1 scoop of vega nutritional shake vanilla flavor
enough water to cover
2 tbsp apple sweetened cranberries.

Mix everything together and let it soak for a few minutes and it is ready to consume. I also travelled around New York/ New Jersey last week, and took ziplock bags full of these three ingredients and I had an instant nutritional breakfast anywhere I went.


BLT wraps:
This takes less than 5 minutes to make, I was inspired by visiting a vegan restaurant in NYC and ordered this, and it was sooo amazing! I craved it so much afterwards that as soon as I came home I bought the ingredients so I could make it too.

2-3 leaves of romaine
1/2 tbsp vegan mayo
1 slice of cheddar vegan cheese (I use Daiya)
3-4 slices of tomato
(the restaurant also had avocado in the wrap, however the avocados at my local organic store were pretty unripe so I went without)
2 slices of tempeh bacon
1 wrap

I take the shortcut way, of using a microwave.. Take a wrap, put the slice of cheese on one side, plus 2 slices of bacon.  Microwave for 45 seconds. Add the tomato, lettuce, and mayo to the other side of the wrap. Roll it up and consume :)

So easy and so satisfying :)

Meals of the day

This is the ultimate lazy day, of no effort.

There was a lot of leftovers from the retreat, so I've just been making use of the food.
In addition today was a bit of a busy day, so didn't really spend any time cooking.  So some frozen foods, that's how it goes sometimes.

Breakfast:
Hemp plus granola (natures path)
plus
unsweetened almond milk

-- I'm really not the biggest fan of sugary cereals, we were unfortunately out of fruit this morning.. so sad situation.

Lunch:
Snap green peas
mini bell peppers
1/2 vegan pizza
1/2 vegan bean patty

Snack:
2 peanut butter toasts with chocolate chips
I know I went all out today.

Dinner:
1/2 cup of rice
1 cup of minestrone soup
2 toast and one with daiya (vegan cheese)
