What this vegan family ate today ...

For breakfast we mostly start with a light green smoothie, this is just so refreshing and gentle on our tummies first thing in the day.


Frozen banana, Mango,Water, Little bit soy milk, Spinach or seasonal greens out our garden ...Tip it taste best when you still in PJ's ;)



A bit later we love soaked oats, this is a raw breakfast and still very gentle on the intestines. The first part of the day is a time of cleansing for the body so eating raw till mid day is our aim.


Oh my soul ... this is sooooooooo yummy !!!!! 
Fill a glass container half way with rolled oats, add some nuts and seed. I just used pumping seeds and ground flax, but the shy is the limit and you can use any nuts, seeds, and small dried fruit like cranberries, even fresh berries work well.
Then fill to the top with Apple juice, non dairy milk OR combo like I did for a super sweet and creamy taste. Shake super well. Put in fridge and leave over night. In the morning just open the bottle and eat. You can top with fruit and cinnamon or cacao. My mornings are pretty chaotic so I love this breakfast for mornings that I need to go out early and dont have time to prepare breakfast. This also travels very well, and I often put in separate bottles for each girl to eat a bit later.  

Just before lunch we had  ice lollies while playing with water in the back yard. 


I blended 3 separate batches and layered on top of each other and freeze. First layer was Coconut cream with mango, second layer was Coconut cream wit banana and raw organic cacao and the third layer was coconut cream with raw beet juice and few drops stivia.

Lunch were very delicious sandwiches.

     
Soy and flax seed loaf with hummus, avo, lettuce, tomato and basil/rocket/parsley mix out my salad herb garden. Some sauerkraut on the side.

Late afternoon snack.

  
Just some cut up ripe mango.

Dinner was corn bread with a very traditional spicy South African dish "Chakalaka"  ... easy and nice for bulk cooking as it freezes beautifully. This is my absolute favorite dish at the moment.


I will share recipes of these both in separate posts.
