PS: Should I do a โ€˜Make dinner with meโ€™ series? PS: Should I do a โ€˜Make dinner with meโ€™ series? 

๐Ÿ’พ Save this one for the rotation: 
Vegan Chicken Caesar with Sweet Potato & Caramelized Onion
๐Ÿคค๐Ÿคค๐Ÿคค๐Ÿคค

Tip time:
The secret to sticking with plants only? 
Knowing your WHY. 
This is mine.

I went plant-based a decade ago after multiple knee surgeries to calm inflammation, and stayed for the animals and the planet. As a former Olympian, holistic nutritionist and plant-based chef, my goal is simple: meals that fuel you, (each calorie counts towards making sure youโ€™re thriving in this life), must taste amazing and donโ€™t take all night.

This one is creamy, savoury, crispy, and packed with protein. 

๐Ÿ’ก LIFE HACK: 
I always double or triple my recipes so I have leftovers for throw together dinners or lunches later in the week (think wraps, bowls, mega salads). So when I say 2 yams, Iโ€™m actually roasting 4 to 6! Future you will thank present you.

R E C I P E ๐Ÿ‘ฉโ€๐Ÿณ

INGREDIENTS

๐ŸŒฑ 2 yams
๐ŸŒฑ 2 yellow onions
๐ŸŒฑ 2 cups soy curls
๐ŸŒฑ Splash of Braggโ€™s liquid aminos
๐ŸŒฑ 2 heads romaine
๐ŸŒฑ 1/2 Red onion, thinly sliced
๐ŸŒฑ Capers
๐ŸŒฑ 1 avocado

Caesar Dressing
๐ŸŒฑ 1 can cannellini beans, liquid poured out 
๐ŸŒฑ 1 tbsp miso paste
๐ŸŒฑ 2 tbsp nutritional yeast
๐ŸŒฑ 1 clove garlic
๐ŸŒฑ 1/4 cup pickle juice
๐ŸŒฑ Salt and pepper

DIRECTIONS

1. Heat oven to 400ยฐF. Slice the onion in half and trim off the tip. Poke the yams and trim the ends.
2. Place on a lined baking sheet and bake 45 minutes, flipping the yams halfway.
3. Soak soy curls in water for 10 minutes, then strain.
4. Fry in a teeeeny bit of oil with a splash of Braggโ€™s for about 4 minutes, stirring so they brown on all sides. A couple batches.
5. Blend all dressing ingredients until smooth.
6. Toss romaine with the dressing, then add red onion, capers and avocado.
7. Plate the salad, top with yam rounds, peel the caramelized onion into the centre, and finish with the soy curl chicken.

Save this for your next โ€˜omg Iโ€™m stressed and donโ€™t know what to make for dinnerโ€™ kinda night ๐Ÿ’š

Read on to learn about the worldโ€™s first ever mushroom strip ๐Ÿคฏ๐Ÿ™Œ

Iโ€™ve been a big fan of this company from the very beginning and even helped out during its startup. Functional mushrooms grown just down the road from me in beautiful Pemberton BC, created by a friend of mine.

I love everything Stay Wyld makes, but these pocket strips are the most convenient and fun way to take your mushrooms on the go.

Have you tried them yet?

So whatโ€™s actually in these sugar free pocket strips?

๐Ÿง  Energy LST Strip
Lionโ€™s Mane, B12, L-Theanine, and green tea.

๐Ÿ’ช Immunity LST Strip
2800mg of 7 functional mushrooms + vitamins, all in one little strip:
๐Ÿ„ Lionโ€™s Mane โ€” brain power
๐Ÿ„ Chaga โ€” cellular defence (antioxidant powerhouse)
๐Ÿ„ Cordyceps โ€” energy & resilience & blood flow
๐Ÿ„ Turkey Tail โ€” gut + immunity
๐Ÿ„ Maitake โ€” metabolic support
