Meatless Monday presented by Sun Lovin’ Roots

Hi beauties! Stacie here from Sun Lovin Roots and every Monday I will be bringing you an easy and super yummy plant-based recipe for Meatless Monday! Sun Lovin’ beauties know that nourishing their body with things that will leave them thriving and flourishing is essential, which goes deeper than the food you eat, but the food you eat does play a huge role here. Cutting your meat and dairy does a body good — even if you don’t do it all the time, so I encourage you all to join me and go meatless on Mondays. I’m making it super easy for you, all recipes are simple and take under 30 minutes from prep to finish, don’t have a zillion ingredients and won’t break the bank…which is a win-win in my book. Eating healthier just got easier…

Ok, so have you ever tried to roll sushi yourself and it was a total fail? Trust me, I have been there and ended up just eating everything in one large bowl — sushi scramble anyone? My sushi making skills are very limited. I do roll at home, but I don’t cut them and they kind of remind me of a sandwich wrap but with nori instead of a tortilla. When I don’t have nori or just want something simple and quick, I make something I like to call Sushi Cups. Super easy and you don’t need mad sushi chef skills.

What you need:

Brown Rice (short grain – 1/2 cup uncooked)

2 tbsp apple cider vinegar

2 cups diced avocado

sliced peach (optional)

organic soy sauce

sesame seeds (optional)

Directions:

Cook rice as directed on package. When rice is done, add the 2 tbsp of apple cider vinegar. Set aside and let cool. — Don’t have a lot of time, try Trader Joe’s organic brown rice, it’s perfect for the nights you don’t have time to cook rice from scratch. Grab a 1-cup dry measuring cup. Sprinkle a few sesame seeds then layer in 1/2 cup of diced avocado with 1/2 cup of rice. Push the rice down tight so that it’s packed firmly in, carefully turn cup upside down on your plate, tapping the bottom of the cup if necessary. Place very thinly sliced peaches on top for an added bonus with soy sauce drizzled on top.

If you want a little spice, take your diced avocado and place in bowl with the following:

2 tbsp nutritional yeast

1 tbsp yellow mustard

2 tbsp soy sauce (adding more until you get creamy-like consistency)

1-3 tbsp of sriracha (the more you use, the spicier it will be)
