If everybody in the United States would went vegetarian or vegan for just one day a week we could save:
-100 billion gallons of water, enough to supply all the homes in New England for almost 4 months;
-1.5 billion pounds of crops otherwise fed to livestock, enough to feed the state of New Mexico for more than a year;
-70 million gallons of gas -- enough to fuel all the cars of Canada and Mexico combined with plenty to spare;
-3 million acres of land, an area more than twice the size of Delaware;
-33 tons of antibiotics.
Crazy, isn't it!
To get you in the mood for some tasty vegan mornings, here are three easy vegan breakfast recipes.
Berry-Cherry Oatmeal
1/2 cup of steel cut oats cooked
splash of almond milk
1/4 cup mixed organic berries( I love blueberries and raspberries )
1/4 cup organic cherries
handful of chopped almonds
Combine the oats and almond milk, let sit for a minute. Add pitted and chopped cherries and mix together. Put berries on top and top with chopped almonds or nuts of choice.
Breakfast Tortilla
1 large whole wheat tortillas
1/4 cup black beans
1/4 cup rice
2tbsp salsa
1/2 chopped avocado
Warm tortilla for a couple of seconds and fill with all the ingredients. Roll up and eat.
Apple-Pancakes (not just for Sundays)
In a large bowl, mash banana, then stir in milk and maple syrup.
In a separate bowl mix flour, baking powder, and salt. Add to banana mixture and stir until smooth.Add chopped apples.
Pour small amounts of batter onto a preheated non-stick, lightly oil-sprayed griddle or skillet and cook until tops bubble . Flip with a spatula and cook second side until golden brown, about 1 minute. Serve immediately with cinnamon and date syrup.
