Sophia's Veg'd out Sandwich

~VEG'D OUT SANDWICH~

Am I overdosing on Tofu? Just in case I am I wont have any for dinner and I'll work on being more creative.

For lunch I had a super veggie packed sandwich.


My sandwich consisted of - (used Ezekiel Bread)

• Roasted Red Pepper Hummus
• Olive Tapenade
• Onions
• Avocado
• Mushrooms
• Tomatoes
• Soy Cheese
• Tofu

Wow, I just realized everything is all natural!!- I'm really happy my taste buds have matured and I don't need mayonnaise on a sandwich, and love vegetables.

Sophia's Middle Eastern and Tofu Lunch!!

~MIDDLE EASTERN AND TOFU LUNCH~

Tabbouli and my Teriyaki Tofu w/ mushrooms and onions.

Some of you are probably wondering what is Tabbouli and what is in it. Well Tabbouli is a Traditional Middle Eastern Salad that you can find at any health food store (trader joes, whole foods) or middle eastern restaurant.

• Ingredients- Whole Wheat Bulger ( i feel like it should be Bulgar, but my package says Bulg'e'r), Tomatoes, Parsley, Lemon Juice, Onion, Canola/Extra Virgin Olive Oil, Sea Salt, Granulated Garlic, Dried Mint, Black Pepper.
• its all natural ingredients, healthy and Delicious!!

My Teriyaki Tofu

• sauteed mushrooms in a pan of light olive oil
• sauteed my tofu in liquid aminos and seasoning salts.
• In a separate mixing bowl I sauteed my sliced onions in a Teriyaki sauce.
  
  

Sophia's Light Breakfast

!!!WAKE UP!!!

Breakfast is my all time favorite meal, but now that I've decided to go Vegan, I think lunch will probably become my favorite because I'll be able to experiment more. (yet there are still so many exciting foods to have for breakfast.)

For Breakfast I had some Soy Pita Bread with Roasted Red Pepper and Hummus Dip, and a Strawberry Smoothie!!

Sophia went VEGAN Grocery Shopping!!!

First, just let me say sorry my pictures are so blurry. I need to get batteries for my camera and until then I'll be using my phone.

!!!VEGAN!!! I LOVE LOVE LOVE IT!!! so far my body just feels clear, and uncluttered. So why is it I've failed when I've tried to go vegan before?? Because I didn't do the proper shopping needed to make such a drastic lifestyle change.

Tabbouli (middle eastern salad), Olive Tapenade, Raw Almonds, and the Red Pepper Hummus accidently got cut out of the picture.
High Fiber Cereal, Mushrooms, Ezekiel Bread (original, flourless and low glycemic), Strawberry Smoothies.

Soy Pita, Soy Cheddar Cheese, Tofu, Chicken-less Stuffed Cutlets (stuffed with black beans and corn in a smoky tomato sauce.)

All of my foods are high in protein, which is something im really going to need at the moment. Im so excited. I feel so good about this change and am deteremined to stick with it.

Sophia's VEGAN Dinner and Dessert

YAY!!! I figured out how to upload the photos from my phone!!
Ok, Here's the Whole Foods VEGAN MEAL I had, (as stated in the previous post I'm switching to Vegan!!!)

I'm a little bit upset with myself for not writing down everything i ate, next time i promise i will, but I'll try to remember the best i can.

This is a main shot of everything, Tofu, Teriyaki Sweet Potatoes, Kale, Mushrooms, Cauliflower

The Teriyaki Sweet Potatoes and Tofu

again the kale

DESSERT!!! VEGAN CHOCOLATE CHIP CHEESECAKE

what type of ingredients did they use? here are some, just to name a few.

• granola, maple syrup, vegetable margarine
• vegan cream cheese, silken tofu, organic turbinado sugar, lemon juice
• vegan chocolate chips, organic soy milk vegetable margarine...

Overall, i absolutely love the Vegan diet. It's challenging b/c yes, its pricey and takes more preparation but the health benefits of eating close to a natural diet are great, and the clarity of mind and a closer connection with nature and life.
