Veggie Eats - Tuesday and Wednesday Recap


TUESDAY

 Breakfast
I wanted a bowl of Cap'n Crunch, but I was a good girl and made a green drink with half the kale.


Dinner 
My husband loves french onion soup.  Chances are if french onion soup is on the menu, he'll order it.  So when I suggested french onion soup due to the ridiculous amount of onions we had, the husband was all about it.  What husband wants, husband gets... once in awhile.


However, in my husband's mind soup is not a meal.  So I had to make sausage and Israeli couscous stuffed peppers because husband likes meat. 

Yes I forgot to take a picture of them cooked.  

And I love Israel couscous.  If you have never had it, you need to try it!  So good.

WEDNESDAY

Lunch
I made zucchini noodles aka zoodles with a tomato and sausage sauce. 


Easy, quick, and it used 2 vegetables. 

Dinner
BLT, BLT!


The only thing that would have made this better was some avocado.  I love me some BLATs.

And here's what is left of the vegetables:


And meal suggestions with the remaining vegetables would be greatly appreciated!

Justine's Coconut Dream Green Drink featuring Bai + Bridal Shower / Wedding Gift Idea


I love green drinks.  I have one every morning to get a serving of veggies.  I have experimented with all different types of greens and my preference always comes back to kale.  Experiment at your own risk, but I'm telling you kale is the bomb.com!  I find kale mild and it is a nutrient dense food rich in iron and fiber.  Plus it has a lot of protein for a green.  And my body thanks me if you catch my drift.

I personally love the combo of kale and pineapple.  This drink is filling, mildly sweet, and sustains me.  For an extra dose of protein, mix in a scoop of vanilla protein powder and you have a meal replacement.

Justine's Coconut Dream Green Drink
Ingredients:
  • 1 large handful kale greens (approximately 40 grams)
  • 6 oz light vanilla yogurt 
  • 8 oz Bai Molokai Coconut Antioxidant Drink
  • 3/4 cup frozen pineapple chunks
  • 1 scoop vanilla protein powder (optional)
Directions:

Place in Vitamix and blend until smooth.

Serve in your favorite glass and enjoy!
My friend gave me this Kate Spade hers glass.  Isn't adorable?  It comes in a his and hers set.  It is a great bridal shower or wedding gift.
