Looking for something different but easy for dinner? I cooked up this edamame pasta and mixed it with vegan oil-free pesto. (Recipe below) I stir-fried some broccoli and added some purple cabbage and red peppers and cashews. I heated up some ready to go basil seitan. Then mixed it all together.

This dinner was packed full of protein, a rainbow of antioxidants, and lots of texture and crunch.

I love the Explore brand edamame pasta, as it has a wonderful chew to it and is very high in protein with one ingredient- edamame flour. Adding a few red peppers and purple cabbage to the broccoli stirfry gave it a bright and colorful look while adding a rainbow with nutrients. A tofurkey brand basil seitan has a great texture and is super yummy, but does have some oil. All together this was an awesome dinner that I will make again!

Vegan Pesto from thevegan8.com
2 cups lightly packed basil leaves
1/4 cup water
1/2 cup pine nuts or walnuts
1 garlic clove
1/4 teaspoon Himalayan salt
2 tablespoons nutritional yeast
1/2 a lemon, or as much as you'd like, to taste
Blend all together until it reaches desired consistency

When I saw the name, Healthy Living Market, of course I had to check it out! The irony is, shouldn’t every grocery store be a healthy living market? However, the majority of food found in our local supermarkets would not be “Plant Docs approved “. What I mean by that is the first three ingredients contain oil, a form of sugar, a refined flour, or salt. When these are the main ingredient of what you’re eating, it’s crap.

In this video, I highlighted the beautiful produce, and some of the fun sections in this chain of supermarkets called Healthy Living Market, which are located in Vermont and New York.

The needle is moving - ever so slowly, but as more people and systems realize the importance of food quality and health, there will be more demand for healthy markets like this one.

Kudos to Healthy Living Market for doing what you do since the 1980s!
