the day after

This post is a little overdue but I wanted to write about the day after my all- veggies-and-fruits smoothies day.  That day I had a smoothie for breakfast because I was hungry but wasn't feeling super receptive to food.  I made it with banana, peach, fresh figs off the tree in the backyard, unsweetened almond milk and about a tbsp of flax seed meal.

When eating the figs raw I typically eat the whole thing but for the smoothie I scooped out the fleshy bits.

For lunch, I made a salad to eat in lettuce wraps cause I was still feeling something light.  I (very) loosely based the recipe off this at Happy Herbivore. 

I used these large butter beans because I had them and I thought they'd be ok for the base of the salad.  However, they were too soft.  BUT the taste was incredible.  I loved it.  You should definitely use tofu or a firmer bean like chickpeas but the flavors really hit the spot.  Happy Herbivore has lots of beautiful recipes I'm looking forward to trying.
