Here is another great high-protein lunch or even dinner.
Now and then I enjoy sardines. Wild Planet is a brand that cans sustainably fished sardines and other seafoods. They are the best tasting as well. If I’m going to eat fish, which is not that often, I only eat fish from Wild Planet Foods. The skin is included on the sardines, which gives them a higher collagen content. Canned salmon is another go to for me when I don’t have any fresh food in the house.
Tempeh (raw) is great high protein plant-based source that provides a nice crunch or alternative to a traditional “tuna” salad. You will note that as I strive for diversity, there are lots of little bites of incredible plant powered goodness in this meal.
I must say that the pinenuts on top, or on the side brings this sandwich to perfection!
Add to your protein of choice some vegenaise, or avocado mayo, chopped onions and celery. S&P as desired, and some cayenne.
Toast your whole grain or gluten free bread of choice and assemble. Serve with lots of micro greens, pinenuts and a side salad of cucumber and cultured vegetables. That is at least ( depending on the bread) 6 different plant powered bites. If you’re using Tempe then it bumped it up to at least eight.
Let’s put as many plants as we can into each meal so we expand our microbe population!
Enjoy!
