Vegetarian taco with mango chunks for sweetness. Delicious.
Breakfast is an important start to a vegetarian’s day. Eggs are a great source of protein, but they can be boring day after day. Here’s a way to make them interesting and healthier!
Start with three eggs. Crack those into a bowl and whisk them up until they look nice and yellow. Then take a handful of two (or three) chopped vegetables and throw them into that same bowl. (I used organic baby spinach and mushrooms; it was delicious!) Then scramble the egg and vegetable combination on a pan coated lightly with olive oil. When the eggs are cooked it’s time to put that yummy stuff on a plate!
To make it even tastier, you can add salsa or another sauce to the eggs and vegetables. My suggestion is fresh salsa or Hawaiian Barbecue Sauce. The Hawaiian Barbecue Sauce is made with pineapple and it really compliments the eggs and vegetables. It can be purchased at Trader Joe’s.
Enjoy!
I made this even when I wasn’t vegetarian for a tasty dinner side. To make it you slice red pepper, wash grape tomatoes, chop parsley, and put it on a olive oil coated pan. Then you roast everything for about 10 minutes on medium heat, stirring often. After that add another tablespoon of olive oil, and let simmer for another 5-10 minutes so the taste is just right. It’s easy, healthy, and most importantly, colorful, which will make you and your body happier.
Vegetarian food of the day. Beautiful, almost candy-like fruit that is so good for you! I’m obsessed:
Blueberries are among the highest anti-oxidant value fruits. Blueberries are very low in calories. 100 grams fresh berries provide only 57 calories. However, they contain health benefiting soluble dietary fiber, minerals, vitamins and pigment anti-oxidants that contribute immensely for optimum health and wellness. (according to this site.)

- Conservation of Fossil fuel. It takes 78 calories of fossil fuel to produce 1 calorie of beef protein; 35 calories for 1 calorie of pork; 22 calories for 1 of poultry; but just 1 calorie of fossil fuel for 1 calorie of soybeans. By eating plant foods instead of animal foods, I help conserve our…
Very interesting read for anyone who needs more reasons to be vegetarian!
It’s funny, but I don’t miss meat at all. It’s surprisingly easy to avoid so far.
Anyway, everyone should enjoy Julie’s Organic ice cream products. Here I’m displaying a Sorbet Bar made with real blackberries, and it’s a non-dairy product. Totally delicious, more importantly. Easy little vegetarian snack.

kierralexis asked: yea same here! it wasn't as hard as i thought would be...but yea i don't eat meat, fish, or eggs, i'm going to start drinking almond milk but first i actually have to see if i like it or not...i saw the post you put up about the burgers..im gonna try those
you should! they were delicious. also, i eat organic grass-fed eggs and organic raw milk from local farmers otherwise i might consider not eating either of those.
This was the first breakfast of my summer. My friend and I made tea, bagels, and crepes. Plenty of strawberries and bananas made it healthy. I don’t even miss bacon. Eating just fruit, carbs, and a little dairy (from Nutella) made this breakfast quite hearty without the meat.
To make the crepes I use this recipe, but instead of melting all the butter that it calls for, I simply melt just enough butter to cover the pan before pouring on the batter. Also, with this recipe you can put in any even number and it will show you the appropiate amount of ingredients, which helps make the right amount of crepes.
Enjoy your day everyone!
kierralexis asked: hows your journey going with being a vegan!? im seventeen as well and three months ago i decided i wanted to be a vegan :)
Cool, hey fellow teen! I’m actually just vegetarian. Maybe eventually I’ll be vegan, but to start I’m just eliminating meat. That’s sweet that you’re vegan though! I am loving being vegetarian so far. :)
Tonight for the first time I had a meatless “Boca Burger”. They’re made out of non-gmo soy, which made my mom happy. I was apprehensive about the taste, but wow! It was delicious! The texture was better than real piece of meat because it wasn’t as tough and greasy. I used a little ketchup (the kind with no corn syrup) and it was perfect!
My favorite part was that it was so simple to make.
