Oh Avocado Toast, how I love thee...



Good day my friendly friends! 
I hope you all are getting ready for the new year and if preparing more plant based foods is in your future ( ahem, New years resolution) , I'm so glad you stopped by. 
If you know me, you know I LOVE avocado toast. I have a Fat intolerance so It's difficult for me to process Fatty foods, including AVOCADO! Ugh the tragedy. News Flash! I'm a total Rebel without a cause and still eat avocado all of the time. Anyways I love mashing avocado with a little bit of slat and lemon, but this ... this toast pictured is unexplainably yummy.
So, its Toast (sprouted and organic) with :
mashed bean spread 
on 
sliced pieces of avocado  
and 
drizzled on top is drum roll please.... 
VEGAN/ PLANT BASED/ MADE FROM HOME 
CHEESE DIP   

YUM YUM YUM!

Please try this, it's so good.

Anyways, I made the beans in a crockpot. I always make my beans. I try to stay away from canned anything, especially when I can make a giant pot at home. I always wash the beans, and leave them in water for a few hours then throw in a crockpot . Once they're done, I take some out and mash it with a fork or masher thingy and use that as the spread. Then I slice come avocado , and drizzle my cheese for it. 

I found the best vegan "Cheese" sauce on Buzzfeed. works like a charm every time and hits the spot. Oh man, I'm craving this just thinking about it. 

Anyways, if you try it out please let me know what you think. I think I'll remake this for myself this week! Yummy,

Vegan Protein and a Vegan "Slim Fast"



Hey Friends! 
Do you guys want to know a very silly/fun fact about me? When I was young (way before I started eating vegan food) I freaken LOVED the taste of a very popular Slim drink. I weighed 100 LBS and did not need to lose weight. I drank these like water because I genuinely LOVED the flavor. Fast Forward 10 years and ORGAIN sends me these bad boys. I had never tried them before that day and wasn't sure if the taste would be any good. I went one morning to my kitchen, opened up the SLIM container, added two scoops to a shaker and some unsweetened Almond milk... did a bit of shaking, stuck a straw in , took a big gulp and OMG I think the heavens opened. It was DELICIOUS. Holy heck you guys. I must have drank 3 or 4 that day (don't judge me). Anywhooo, the New year is right around the corner and I know so many of you are looking to get get fit or lose weight and I HIGHLY recommend this brand. The slim drink is definitely my favorite. It is VEGAN-GLUTEN FREE-ORGANIC-NON GMO- LACTOSE FREE- LOW IN CARBS- FIBER- PROBIOTICS- AND THE BEST PART, IT HAS PLANT BASED PROTEIN
If you have ever tried this brand or plan on trying it, let me know in the comments below. Would love to get your feedback!
