Very Veggie Day

Since I am considering today my first real day of summer vacation, I slept in! I was awaken to my phone ringing around 8am and thought it was afternoon. It felt great!

After some iced coffee and things around the house, I went to the gym. There, I did 35 min. on the stairs followed up some upper body and ab work. I feel like I haven’t been there in forever because it has been so nice out, I can’t pass up a run outside! Today was rainy and super humid so it was a good gym day.

I stopped at Trader Joe’s on the way home to get a few essentials – AB, sprouts, ff feta and mango chunks for green smoothies! When I got home I was starving and ready for my new favorite lunch:

Flat out (crack wraps) stuffed with sprouts and veggies.

“Crack Wraps” are a term given to a sandwich that becomes addicting. The term was first used by the beautiful mom Sarah This sandwich consisted of :

• Sabra hummus
• fat free swiss cheese ( I am a little sketched out by this, but it tastes good and gets really melty!)
• sprouts
• tomato
• avocado
• salsa
• lettuce

Then, I did more errands by bike and Brady’s sister, Janelle, came over for dinner.

We had seen a sign at the Arts Festival yesterday for broccoli burgers and were dying to try them, but we weren’t hungry then, so we decided to make them for dinner.

Broccoli Burgers

• 1-2 c. steamed broccoli
• 1 c. brown rice, cooked
• 1 onion, chopped
• 2 pieces sprouted grain bread
• salt and pepper
• 1/3 c. egg whites
• 2 tbsp. hummus

1. Cook broccoli and rice as directed
2. Mix all ingredients together in a food processor
3. Use mixture to make patties
4. Spray a pan with cooking spray and cook the patties
5. Serve on a sprouted bun or bread or over salad

The verdict: We loved them! They tasted great. Not too much of anything but good veggie flavor!
