You Say Tomato, I Say Kumato!

Even though I'm not doing vegan keto anymore, I've still been adding a little protein powder to my smoothies. I add half a packet (thanks for the tip Ttrockwood) which is enough to make it super creamy and more filling, but doesn't make it taste so protein-y. I've tried unflavored, vanilla and chocolate and I prefer vanilla. Sprouts had blackberries on sale this week so this is a vanilla, avocado, flax meal and blackberry smoothie. Really tasty. And we have a pouty lentil loaf in the background.

I've been really loving rice bowls for dinner lately. It's a great way to get in extra veggies, and I love different textures and temperatures in my meals. And just like a good rug really ties a room together, a good sauce really ties this meal together. I baked some tofu, and them tossed it in a sweet chili, soy sauce, sesame oil combination. Served with brown rice, lettuce and sweet mini peppers. Delicious!

I've noticed these interesting looking brown tomatoes for a few years now, and I've never tried them because they're always double the price of regular tomatoes. I rarely even buy fresh tomatoes at the grocery because they're always that weird mealy texture. But Sprouts had these on sale this week so I decided to try them. Guys, they are so tasty! Great texture, like a perfect tomato in season. I've been eating them sliced with a bit of salt and pepper. Really, really good!

Last night I made another rice and veggie bowl! This time a burrito bowl. I cooked some tofu and black beans, made a creamy sauce with salsa, cashews and a little nooch, and had some rice, lettuce, sweet mini peppers and red jalapeno all in a bowl. And some tomato. Easy, cheap and Yum!

The weather is warming up so that means Kiki and Etta are starting their summer poses! They're the only two who sleep like this on the regular in the warmer months! Being a fan of kitty bellies I am definitely not complaining!
