It was sweet and delicious and perfect for after a long run. I'm totally hooked on putting fennel in my juice right now. It really compliments everything I've added it to, and this was no exception. Yum!
One of our breakfast smoothies this week was purple:
I got a tub of the Vega on sale and have been adding it to smoothies. It's flavor is a little strong for my taste, but I've found that if I include peanut butter and berries I can tolerate it. I do feel good after I use it, so I'm liking the nutrition it provides.
Last Sunday my bf and I went to one of our favorite neighborhood cafes for breakfast:
He had a Thai waffle with peanut sauce and spiralized veggies on top. I had the Hot Mess, sourdough with veggie chorizo and pesto tofu scrambled with jalapenos. They were both fantastic and with bold flavors. We love adventurous food! Perfect for a special Sunday treat.
I have some studying to do this weekend, but if the weather keeps up like this I might have to squeeze in the book time after dark! What are you doing this weekend? Anything fun involving food?
looks like a nutritious and fun way to start the weekend!
ReplyDeletethose breakfasts look divine! i need to find some local vegan eateries. i have to cross the bridge into philadelphia and find parking to get my favorites. there's got to be some good ones closer!
Wow, what yummy eats! I'm in need of a big old breakfast out, that has me drooling!
ReplyDeleteOooh, tasty meal. The juice and smoothie really look awesome!
ReplyDeleteMmm, the sunshine juice sounds delicious - I might throw in a golden beet, to boot!
ReplyDeletewhat interesting combinations, only in portland would vegan eats be so unique.
ReplyDeleteWow, the savory waffle combo sounds so great. The weather is really nice here today too and I ought to have gone for a run. maybe later in the day. That drink waiting for me after a run would be a nice incentive!
ReplyDeleteOur beautiful weather yesterday turned into a snow forecast today. Glad I made it outside when I could. The savory waffle is pretty awesome. Especially the peanut sauce.
ReplyDeleteYeah, this cafe is kind of new and most of the menu items are unique. A.N.D. cafe on East Burnside. And I think everything on the menu can be veganized if it isn't vegan already.
ReplyDeleteA golden beet would be a great addition!
ReplyDeleteThanks, Leslie! We love our juices & smoothies around here :)
ReplyDeleteGoing out to breakfast is so much fun. My favorite meal to eat out for sure!
ReplyDeleteGood luck finding vegan eats close to home! I'm pretty spoiled in Portland. Seems like there's something vegan in every neighborhood.
ReplyDeleteWow that waffle and chorizo toast look amazing! Man I wish we had some vegan restaurants where I live......
ReplyDeleteOMG YUM! That smoothie sounds SO delicious! I definitely want to try that combo! I also love that your breakfast was called "Hot Mess." That made me smile and it looks so delicious!

ReplyDeleteI was going to comment on the tasty-looking b-fast smoothies, but then I was rendered speechless by those cafe meals. Wow! Thai waffle?! Sounds amazing!
