Veggie-Loading

We got home from Mexico late on Saturday evening.  On Sunday we hit the grocery store and bought a cartload full of vegetables.  Our meals this week have been almost exclusively plant-basedBreakfasts have been smoothies with coconut water, fruit and cocoa.

We had Thai bowls for dinner one evening, with a bit of jasmine rice, cooked tofu and mushrooms, raw veggies, and a coconut curry sauce.


We made extra to have for lunch too.

Dinner another evening was a roasted vegetable salad over arugula and pea shoots.

 

We juiced cucumber, celery, carrot, red bell pepper, and an apple:


The juice was great with a quinoa veggie bowl, topped with a chickpea/ almond butter sauce (also included lime, curry powder, garlic, nutritional yeast, salt and pepper).


One meal this week that wasn't completely plant-based was chili, which was such a perfect meal to warm us up.  The weather this week has been ridiculously cold - so cold that there have been severe weather warnings (-49), and school buses have been canceled.  Blah!

This evening we enjoyed a plate of raw veggies, and some leftover quinoa for dinner.  We're looking forward to a little weekend getaway, and hopefully a break from this cold. 

How was your week?  Any big plans for the weekend?

All of your veggie-centric meals look so good. It reminds me that I need to make a roasted veggie salad soon. That's one of my favorite salads!

My week was busy as I traveled for work again. We get a long weekend this weekend which I am soooo excited for. And we have zero plans so I will barely leave the house which I'm so excited for!!!
