Tofu scramble Delight



A little lunch I put together 210 calories

Smash very soft tofu up. Get a tofu scramble kit from the store or you can make your own with online recipes using peppers and seasons. Cook over stove with a little bit of water to mix the scramble seasoning kit up if you use the packets or a little olive oil if you decide to do peppers and make your own seasoning.

Put over Ezekiel bread toasted (Earth Balance butter on there lightly)

Add a few slices of avocado or to cut more calories use cucumbers instead, but with avocado your lunch is 210 calories!

The most amazing softest cupcake I have ever had!



Little Ones Taco

Make sure you specify "mock" chicken or tempeh and ask for soy shredded cheese (its an item MADE vegan)
I chose not to eat my chips and put the salsa for the chips on the taco, it was amazing.

Earth Cafe Raw Cheesecakes



These cheesecakes are amazing. Many different flavors. My friend Candi is the owner and she has introduced me to an amazing desert that I don't feel bad indulging myself in! You can get them at several different health food locations. I buy mine at Whole Foods!

Snack options- Hummus with veggies




My favorite healthy snack is I cut up a cucumber, and some baby carrots and I get this amazing Hommus Tahini from Henry's market and dip away

Native Foods- Costa Mesa


Native Foods
The best vegan pizza by far has been at Native Foods, They use daiya cheese which is amazing. Melts great and taste sooo good!

PIZZA FUSION OFF WINCHESTER ROAD



I really miss living where there are vegan restaurants! I have to drive to Orange County or San Diego to get anything decent.
The are health grocery stores such as (Trader Joes, Henry's and Sprouts) ...I really wish they would build a Whole Foods out here.

One place that I enjoyed is Pizza Fusion. They have a soy cheese (100% vegan) pizza
