1. Mash the banana well. Add the remaining ingredients, whisk like crazy, and place in the fridge overnight.
2. In the morning I added 1 tsp maca powder and 2 Tbsp peanut butter. Feel free to embellish your oats with whatever you like!

Shake & Go Smoothie: Great as-is or added to a smoothie. Contains Stevia and is sweet. I've only tried the Tropical and Berry flavors. 

Whole Food Health Optimizer: This is a meal replacement. It is ok as-is but better added to a smoothie. It is sweetened with Stevia. It is expensive but contains tons of good stuff! You can use 1/2 a serving in a smoothie to keep the calories and cost down. I prefer the Natural or Berry flavors.

Sport Performance Protein: This is an excellent recovery drink because it contains all of the essential amino acids which helps with muscle recovery. I like it added to a smoothie but you can drink it as-is. It is sweetened with Stevia.   

Garden of Life:
Raw Protein: This is good for adding to smoothies. It has very little flavor and blends well. It is raw, vegan, organic, and loaded with good stuff!

Vegan tempeh quesadilla
Serves 2
1/3 cup finely chopped red onion
2 cloves of garlic, minced
2 tsp olive oil plus more for tortillas
Fresh cracked pepper
Sea salt to taste
1/2 block of tempeh, finely chopped (for extra protein and iron)
1/2 tomato, chopped
1/4 cup chopped fresh basil (I used the purple basil from my CSA)
Vegan cheese, grated
2 whole wheat tortillas

1. Combine the tomato and basil and set aside.
2. Add the olive oil and some fresh cracked pepper to a skillet then turn heat to medium. Once the oil is hot, add the onion and garlic. When the onion starts to brown, add the tempeh and sea salt. Cook until tempeh is lightly browned.
3. For each quesadilla, sprinkle cheese on one half then top with tempeh and tomato mixtures and a little more cheese to glue it all together. Fold in half and lightly brush or spray the outside of the tortilla with olive oil. Cook over medium heat, turning once, until browned on both sides then cut into triangles and serve.

Happy blending!
