Think game show enterance: Let’s do What I Ate Wednesday hosted by the fabulous Jenn over at Peas and Crayons. Today’s post goes hand-in-hand with Amanda’s 30-day Vegan Challenge. Let’s get started!
BTW, there is a great recipe at the end.
Breakfast
I was in a rush to get to work because I slept terribly last night. So for breakfast I fixed a quick bowl of Coach’s Oats topped with blueberries, chopped walnuts and almond milk. I really wanted to add cinnamon, but I was just trying to chomp it down without burning my mouth and get on the road. Trust me, Coach’s Oats are the best Oats out there. Ask my daughter – the finicky eater totally agrees!
Lunch
I worked out during lunch. That means it was only natural to head over to a place called Something Healthy. The menu totally caters to veganism. I had my favorite Vegan walnut “chicken” orange wrap. Nom Nom! And a green tea iced tea to drink. Of course, they forgot my apple again (I think they are purposely doing it to me – LOL).
Snack
The Vega Whole Food Health Optimizer could actually work as a meal replacement. It’s full of tons of nutrients that your body loves. This one is in Berry Flavor. I drank 1/2 of it and then took a quick walk to stretch my legs.
Dinner
I may have forgot the Daiya cheese, but this black bean & corn tostada topped with a Creamy Avocado-Chipotle Sauce was the bomb!
I love Tuesday Taco nights at our house. And frequently post my vegetarian or vegan tostada pictures on my Instagram profile.
Most of the time I top my tostadas with a squeeze of lime and chunky salsa. Tonight this Creamy Avocado-Chipotle Sauce jazzed up the tostada.

About Christine McCarthy
Because of my recently discovered egg white allergy, a LOT of the foods that I used to enjoy had to be made vegan! Mostly baked goods, where I have to sub in a flax egg
Brittany @ Itty Bits of Balance recently posted..“The Fun Stuff”
Egg white allergy?
that’s not cool. I bet you could use egg substitute?
Make sure to check out Isa from Post Punk Kitchen… she uses ingredients like arrowroot to combine stuff, too! Thanks for stopping by, Brittany!

I love that you add blueberries to your oats in the morning. I do the same thing with my Kellogg’s FiberPlus cereal – such a great way to boost your fruit intake.
Sometimes I do feast on my Kashi Go Lean cereal. It’s pretty tasty too.

I don’t eat many vegan dishes at home so I don’t make any fave dishes vegan but I have tried vegan spins on dishes I enjoy at restaurants. For example I had tempeh “crabcakes” and they were AMAZING!
Caitlin recently posted..Orlando – (Leap) Day Four
tempeh “crabcakes” sounds yummy! I’ve actually never had tempeh, but I have made seitan before!

yum!! so funny we are both on the mexican kick, I really like this sauce I will have to try it out
Amanda @RunToTheFinish recently posted..Vegan Week One: Food
I could eat Mexican all the time. I especially enjoy the margaritas.
I still have a bunch of the sauce left. I can’t use it in a green smoothie because of the chipotle. I need to think of what else I can use it with!

You know how I feel about avocados. And cilantro. I’m convinced this sauce and I were meant to be together. I’m making immediatley and eating it with everything. And I mean everything!

Haha. And it taste just as good without the chipotle, too. While it is good as is… I still think it needs one more thing, but I can’t put my finger on it. Let me know what you think!

I have never consciously made vegan dishes, but any way to make meals healthier is a plus. Love the eats! Do you like Health Optimizer??
I actually do like it. Same with their protein powder in chocolate. Which I didn’t like at first but now… I am totally addicted to it. Just a little pricey. But you do get a good quality product.

Yum! Must try the avocado sauce! What do your use for your tostada shell? And what do you think of the Vega line? I’ve seen it everywhere lately!
