Bowls all Day Everyday

Hands down Pitaya/Acai/Fruit bowls are probably one of my all time favorite things to eat. I seriously could eat them all day everyday. They are super delicious and nutritious! It is also a guilt free sweet treat for when you are having those sweet tooth cravings.

The Pitaya Cactus, otherwise known as the Dragonfruit is considered a Superfruit, originally native to Mexico, transported to Central America and Europe and cultivated in SE Asia, The US (including right here in the Sonoran Desert) Israel, Australia, Cyprus and the Canary Islands. It has the texture of a kiwi with tiny, crunchy black seeds inside, flavor is mildly sweet and nutty.

It is considered a Superfruit for its high antioxidant content, fights free radicals, protecting cells, protects against heart disease, cancer and other diseases. Great source of Iron which carries oxygen to the entire body and vital for brain and muscle function. High in fiber, which aids in digestion, helps to reduce the risk of heart disease and controls blood sugar levels, and lowers cholesterol levels. Rich in Magnesium to increase energy, helps to regulate Sodium, Potassium and Calcium levels. Also helps relax muscles, nerves and anxiety, which leads to better sleep and muscle recovery.

Breakfast bowl

Going from vegetarian to vegan, I will admit, giving up eggs has probably been the most challenging part. I use to eat eggs everyday and not just for breakfast, I would eat them any time of day. So I am back to experimenting with new breakfast ideas.

Breakfast bowls are super easy delicious and packed with nutrients. I tend always have a couple different veggies precooked so I can just add them to dishes throughout the week. Doing a little bit of meal prep over the weekend will save a ton of time throughout the week. Sweet potatoes are probably my number one staple that I always have cooked.

Veggie Sausage
Tofu
Sweet potatoes
Brussle Sprouts
Onions
Arugula

Super easy, I only cook with coconut oil. It is the safest oil to cook with at high heat. Heat oil in a pan add onions sautée, add a little salt and pepper, cook till lightlygolden.

In a separate pan start to cook the sausage, add tofu, I just cut pieces up and start to scramble it in with the sausage. Season, I did salt pepper and a little bit of cumin and red chili flakes.

In the veggie pan add potatoes, (already cooked) reheat till they start to get a little crisp to them or to your liking, then add Brussels (these are already cooked so mainly just need to be reheated) and lastly add arugula.

Finally mix the veggies in with the sausage and tofu and voila ready to serve.
