Mushroom Avocado BUBBA Veggie Burger

When I was asked to try out BUBBA Veggie Burger I excitedly responded “yes!”  Veggie burgers make a quick and easy meal…not to mention, healthy!  Made with black beans, veggies, flax and oats providing plant-based protein and balanced nutrition!  What I like most about BUBBA Veggie Burgers is that they are not loaded with highly processed soy protein like other brands.  I’ve been stocking my freezer with easy-to-make meals for when the baby is born and these burgers will definitely be on my grocery list!

avocado and arugula white bean hummus

Avocado and Arugula White Bean Hummus

Avocado and Arugula White Bean Hummus ~vegan, gluten free~

I love using white beans instead of chickpeas for hummus, they create a much smoother and lighter texture!  This hummus can be served with crackers, but would make an excellent spread on a grilled veggie sandwich!

After doing some research on bone health, I stumbled across the importance of beans (especially white beans) for bone integrity.  This recipe which incorporates white beans and arugula (also good for bone health!) is a winning combo providing calcium, magnesium and vitamin K.

 I used toasted pine nuts, but you can substitute walnuts or almonds!  Same goes for the arugula, feel free to use baby spinach or kale instead!  You pretty much can’t mess up this recipe!  Simply adjust the flavor with fresh lemon juice, garlic, sea salt and pepper to please your taste buds!

avocado and edamame zucchini noodles

Avocado and Edamame Zucchini Noodles, a light and refreshing meal in under 10 minutes!

Avocado and Edamame Zucchini Noodles ~vegan, gluten free~

We made a variation of this meal a few weeks back for dinner, which sparked the idea for this recipe.  The original recipe included spiraled zucchini and garlic lightly cooked in olive oil.  However, we served it over cooked pasta.  It tasted great, but was heavy on carbs.  Instead, this version uses zucchini as the pasta and includes edamame and avocado to make it a well rounded meal.

I’ve said before that I’m not a huge fan of zucchini, but something about the fun spiralized shape makes it taste different!  I’m also in a stage of pregnancy where I can’t get enough raw vegetables!  A meal that serves up a whole bowl of fresh veggies is ok with me!  Strange how these pregnancy cravings work, one day it’s muffins and the next it’s lemons and zucchini!
