Home Cooked Meatless Monday Tastiness

Good afternoon everyone! I hope everyone is having an enjoyable Presidents Day (for those of you that live in the US). I was lucky enough to not be scheduled for work today, and because of the holiday i have no classes so i actually have the full day off! And with having a full day off i was able to wake up and enjoy a delicious green juice (cucumber, green squash, apple, carrots, coconut water) as well as make a yummy meatless monday lunch!

It's a "salad" of sorts with quinoa, baked chickpeas (that i baked last night) and oven dried tomatoes (that i also baked... for four hours last night). Once in my bowl i also sprinkled a tablespoon of coarsely ground flax seed that i picked up from Whole Foods last night. Lets just say it was VERY tasty (in addition to being all sorts of good for me nutritionally wise).

"So Victoria, whats with the switch from the processed fake meats that you love so much to this organic whole food goodness" you might be asking?

Later this week, me and my (to steal a line from Gabby Bernstein) Spiritual Running Buddy Claudia are doing a 7 day detox (using the system from Arbonne since her roomie is a rep) so i figured i would get a little bit of a head start on eating cleaner and cutting out my caffeine. (You don't know how hard that is for someone that works at a coffee shop). Sure it's kind of making my grocery bill go up more so then normal but hey, my health it worth it right? (Plus while at Whole Foods i picked up lots of veggies for my juicer... wicked excited about that part especially).

So who knows where this cleaner eating (at least for a week) will take me. But i bet i can get some great meatless monday posts out of it!
