Lunch: Sweet potato and cranberry salad with cous cous
Dinner: Toasted tortillas, spicy beans and rice followed by the protein and omega-3 nutty seed mix
We all get cravings for snacks, especially in the winter time, and though some of us might reach for the first sugary thing we can lay our hands on, some of us prefer salty snacks.
I'm definitely a sweet tooth, but sometimes you just know when you've had too much brownie mix and should have something healthier.
Nuts and seeds are a vegan's best friend. They provide much-needed omega-3s, iron and proteins, as well as antioxidants and other fantastic goodies. They can also stave off cravings and stop you eating buttery popcorns or heaps of chocolate when you go to a movie.
This is one of my favourite combinations, as the sweetness of the raisins just sets the edge against the savoury taste. A great snack for any time!
You'll need:
(Feeds 2 as snacks)
1 cup chopped walnuts
1 cup pepitas (raw, unshelled pumpkin seeds)
1 cup raisins
1 cup pepitas (raw, unshelled pumpkin seeds)
1 cup raisins
Method:
There is no method. Mix together, eat.
This combination brings you omega-3 fatty acids from the walnuts, protein, iron, zinc and potassium from the pepitas, and antioxidants, protein and fibre from the raisins. It's a veritable powerhouse of awesome stuff!
Enjoy!
