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
- Cook broccoli and rice as directed
- Mix all ingredients together in a food processor
- Use mixture to make patties
- Spray a pan with cooking spray and cook the patties
- 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!
Those look delicious! Thanks for the recipe–I’ll have to try them out 🙂
Broccoli patties are a first for me, awesome recipe!!
