Wake Me Up Breakfast Smoothie

This morning's breakfast smoothie:


2 cups of water
3 cups of mixed berries (strawberries, blueberries, blackberries, raspberries)
1 scoop Vega One (I use French Vanilla, but the Berry flavour would go very nicely with this)
1 tsp chia seeds to top it off.  Stir these in after the drink has been served.


We have adopted a mostly vegan diet as of late, and after almost a week, I am already noticing that I have more energy in the morning and throughout the day.  I am also loving the variety of fruits and vegetables out there!  There are so many to try!

Happy morning :)

Mango Avocado Quinoa Salad

Oh baby baby. We have taken on a mostly vegan diet as of late, and I am just so excited about what I have been eating.  I made this by accident, by throwing a bunch of stuff together.  It turned out to be a glorious party in my mouth, so I will share it with you.

                                     

Ingredients:
1 cup quinoa, cook and cool (I cook mine in vegetable broth)
1 avocado, cut into bite size pieces 
1 mango, chopped into mini cubes
1/2 red onion, chopped finely
Fresh parsley, 1 tbsp (optional)
Fresh lime juice (I use half a lime squeezed)

Just add all the ingredients, fluff, and enjoy!
