WHOLE FOOD ALCHEMYST HEALTH SOURCE

Beyond Meat is a a meat-substitute that is the real deal when it comes to delivering a product similar to beef (I have only tried one product thus far...and I am hooked).  Not only does it look like beef, but BEYOND BEEF has nailed the visual look and mouth-feel texture of beef; it is a plant-based pea protein that is free of soy and gluten, as well as relatively free of whacky food additives. Beyond Meat also has chicken substitutes, beef crumbles (my first product), and Beast Burgers, all of which are non-GMO pea protein (or in some products soy) and 100% plant-based.  I cannot wait to try it in my homemade spaghetti sauce, of course, I will have to write another post suggesting the best gluten-free pasta choices and/or substitutes around.  They also offer a 1.00 off coupon on their website: http://beyondmeat.com/products http://beyondmeat.com/products

If you have a busy life like I do, making Gluten-free Oat Breakfast night before is a big time saver in the morning.  I borrowed this recipe from the Food Matters website, making a few substitutions/suggestions in brackets following an ingredient.    Base Ingredients: 1/2 cup quick cooking oats [I use Country Choice Organic, Non-GMO, GF, Old Fashioned.] 1/2 cup coconut milk or coconut water  [If you are counting calories, go with the water.] 1/4 cup frozen blueberries [I use organic or wild grown.] 1 tbsp desiccated coconut [I use unsweetened.] 1 tsp cinnamon 1 tsp coconut sugar [I use organic agave, organic stevia, or nothing at all.] Optional: 1 tbsp Food Matters Superfood Protein   1 tsp chia seeds Toppings: Add extra coconut, blueberries and/or chia seeds to serve Recipe and photo credits via: http://foodmatters.tv/content/how-to-overnight-oats-3-ways Fresh, nutritious, and very simple.
