Amazing Hempie Smoothie & Frech Toast

 Hi everyone!  I hope everyone is having a great weekend!  Last Thursday I got a few things that I ordered from Vitacost in the mail.  I've been out of hemp seeds, tahini, and Amazing Grass for a while now, so I figured it was time to order them, since I can't find them where I live.  I have found that Vitacost is one of the cheapest places to order them.  I've never used the Joya tahini, so I am looking forward to making hummus with it. I read the reviews on it, and they made it sound great. What brand of tahini do you use? 

Since I got some more Chocolate Amazing Grass Green Supper Food, I made a smoothie out of it for breakfast Friday.  It wasn't very thick, but sure tasted great.  Here's what I used:

1 large frozen banana
1scoupe chocolate Amazing Grass
3 tablespoons of hemp seeds
1 cup coconut milk
a dash of cinnamon

Put everything in the blender and blend until creamy.  I added 2 ice cubes to my smoothie, because I wanted it super cold.  I would have loved to added some ice into the blender, but my blender does NOT like ice cubes.  So, feel free to put a few ice cubes in the blender with everything.  I think it would make it thicker. :o)

Saturday morning I made french toast that was the best that I have ever made.  Here's my recipe....

1/2 banana (mashed)
4 tablespoons maple syrup
1/4 teaspoon cinnamon
1/8 teaspoon nutmeg
1 cup coconut milk
1/2 teaspoon vanilla
4 slices of whole wheat bread
vegan butter

Mash the banana up and then add the maple syrup and mix together well.  Add the rest of the ingredients and whisk together until mixed well.. Add about a tablespoon of vegan butter to a non stick skillet and melt over medium heat.  Dip the bread into the mixture and add to the heated skillet. When the first side is done, add more butter and flip.  Cook until that side is done.  You may need to flip the toast a couple of times until it is cooked to your liking (I did).  Once cooked to your liking, plate it and add your favorite topping.  I had some left over cooked apples, so that's what I used, and it was delicious.  Tony even loved it.  So, it is non-vegan approved!

Saturday night I made Happy Herbivores scrambled tofu.  The directions call for using 1 cup of vegetables.  I was out of spinach and mushrooms, which is what I really like in my scrambled tofu, so I used kale in place of the spinach.  I added some bell pepper too.  The turnout was great, but I like the spinach better than kale in my scrambled tofu.  HH's recipe was excellent though.  I'll definitely make it again!

Enjoy the rest of your weekend.  I'll be catching up on my blog reading on and off today!

~Peace~Love~Happiness!
