great day #1: toasted nori burritos


Although the novelty still has a lot to do with it, Day 1 was a great success! I had a
-- simple smoothie for breakfast (almond milk, frozen berries, banana and plant protein)
-- granola with almond milk for lunch (i hadn't gone to whole foods at this point!)
-- finally for dinner i used one of alicia's "kind" recipes: Toasted Nori Burritos

I mainly used her exact recipe, since I don't trust myself to my own creations yet and they turned out great! They were tasty & filling...what more could you ask for?!

Recipe:
- lay out a sheet of Toasted Nori (dried seaweed)
- spread out a spoonful of brown-rice on the nori
- place a piece of romaine, sliced avocado, sliced apple, torn up dates, basil leaves and sprouts on top of rice
- roll up into a burrito! she recommends a cone shape...i couldn't perfect that ;)
- ENJOY!

I made three for dinner (1 for me, 2 for my boyfriend) and his reaction was "this is incredible!" The combination of crunchy and soft, sweet and tart, and warm and cold makes it perfect! I will definitely be doing this more often :)

I think I'm going to like this Vegan-ness!
