1 tbsp pesto (my favorite pesto- kale and oregano pesto from sunflower kitchen)
1/2 avocado, chopped
1/2 cup cucumber, chopped or sliced
1/4 red pepper, sliced
handful broccoli sprouts

Snack
1 cup organic plain yogurt or Kefir
1 tbsp hemp seeds
1/2 cup fresh strawberries
Mixed all ingredients together
Dinner
Zucchini Goat Cheese Pizza (from Vegetarian Times)
1 prepared Eziekel spelt crust
1 tbsp olive oil
1 3.5 oz log goat cheese, thinly sliced or roughly chopped
1 zucchini, peeled into thin strips
1 small red bell pepper, cut into rings
Sauce
1 6-oz can no salt-added tomato paste
2 tbsp finely minced onion
2 gloves garlic, minced
2 tsp dried oregano
2 tsp olive oil
1/2 tsp red wine or red wine vinegar
Preheat oven to 400.
To make sauce- mix all ingredients together in a small bowl.
Spread sauce on pizza crust. Top with half the goat cheese. Spread zucchini strips over goat cheese, top with bell pepper rings, then add remaining goat cheese and drizzle with olive oil. Bake pizza for approx. 10-15 minutes, or until cheese is melted and bubbly, directly on rack.
For dessert, I’m making this a simple one- WINE!! It’s definitely a great vegetarian option! 😉
