Leftover Series: Collard Quinoa Seitan Wraps (V, GF)

Every week, on Thursday’s I started doing this LIVE Facebook video where I would take all of my leftovers from my fridge and re-create or create something new with it all together. It’s become a fun project and my Facebook friends seem to really be a fan of it. So, in honor of that I think I’ll make this a regular weekly thing as long as I’m at home….shoot who knows where I’ll be and may want to reinvent something!

So this week I had a lot of leftovers because we were crazed this week and only had a couple meals at home. Here’s a list of my leftovers (some of which were not used)

Collard Greens
Onion
Garlic Cloves
Spinach
Purple Cabbage
Carrots
Mushrooms

Gut Healthy Rainbow Chickpea Salad

As I dive more and more into gut health and we establish its importance to your overall health I’ll take time to write out my own recipes and creations that I’ve come up with in order to combat an ever-changing gut microbes. I know that seems extreme and sounds like a long crazy word but as I dive into this you’ll begin to see the importance and what foods can not only heal the gut but along with it heal any ailments you may be dealing with currently.

I have many favorites and I continue to develop more and more recipes that help maintain and develop a healthy gut for me and my family along with all of you! This recipe has so much flavor and is so easy to prepare. 100% vegan. 100% Gluten Free. 100% whole food.

Spinach Artichoke Quinoa Salad

Looking to add some bulk to your salads? I find salads to be very unsatisfying and frankly I don’t opt for them often for that reason! I like to add some whole grains and fats to my salads and this is a great way to do that to keep things interesting, and filling!

With salads I don’t usually feel sustained energy and you may feel that way too if you are constantly running all day long! I always feel like I have energy longer and can maintain when I’m having a hearty lunch. By hearty I mean adding in some fats and whole grains.

Strawberry Plant Based Summer Salad

I'm here to admit I've had my fair share of salads and not always excited for salads. I went though years of dieting and restricting and I think I had a bit too many salads - bland at that - and really just dis-assimilated my taste buds! However, I now have a new appreciation for them, now that I know what I'm doing and how to structure them! I also like to add lots of flavor, crunch and fats which makes it that much tastier!

Throughout the summer I want to publish at least 1 summer salad a week that's exciting and new to tempt your taste buds and make it that much more exciting to eat your greens! Yes, I said exciting to eat your greens!
