Another day, another couple of huge rainbow salads. Lucky us!
A particularly luscious lunch: we each made a salad and open faced sandwich (amidst a backdrop of fruitful breakfast!)
Close up of rainbow salads, homemade raw bread topped with seed/veggie pate and more veggies. Plus a tiny falafel patty in the front.
This was HEAVEN. Whizzed up banana with flax powder and coconut shreds, then dehydrated. Sliced persimmons inside = tropical fruit crepe for breakfast!
Our Raw Spanish Rice is a 100x better than the grain stuff. Pulsed cauliflower, diced roma tomatoes, chopped green onions then spices and lime juice to taste. We dig cumin, chili powder, garlic powder, paprika, oregano, and salt.
Even the persimmons know that All is One! 11:11! PS- We are so stoked on persimmons season. We just got a huge organic bag for $5 and have been enjoying them everyday for breakfast.
This was one of those meals that was so good that I was just kind of beside myself while eating. Hand torn Napa cabbage, lacinato kale, sprouted peas, hemp leaves, shredded zucchini, baby cherry tomatoes, and one of my favorite spice combos: garlic powder, salt, red wine vinegar, nutritional yeast.
Little raw bread circles topped with greens, seed/veggie pate, and yellow & red baby tomatoes. Just a little snack :)
Get personal with our open faced sandwich, will ya? Homemade raw bread topped with raw falafel, avocade, napa cabbage, alfalfa sprouts, and yellow and red tomatoes.
