Plant-based Diet 18: Veggie Sando

Today I had white rice noodles in a little bit of chicken broth and that was my only cheat, and to me, that is just flirting with someone when you're married.

I went out to happy and after having almost 3 beers, I was really hungry. That means if I had drank a full 3 beers, I would've fallen asleep early but I wouldn't be able to share with you this awesome dinner I just had.

Veggie Sandwich

What you need:

Sprouted Wheat Bread (or any bread without oil. I prefer the Alvarado St. brand. In this case I used hot dog buns, but you can also use regular bread slices).

Cucumbers (a couple of slices)

Lettuce

Pickles

Pepperoccinis

Tomato

Avocado

Red onion

Mustard (I like dijon)

What to do:

First make a guacamole. This is optional but used the guacamole to spread on the bread and it was fantastic. Smash up the avocado in a small bowl with onion powder, garlic powder and salt. Taste and add seasonings as you wish. I also added a couple of splashes of Cholula hot sauce (optional)

Build the sandwich: 

Spread generous amount of mustard on one side of the bun and another generous serving of the guacamole on the other.

Layer the veggies: lettuce, tomato cucumbers, pickles onions and pepporccinis. 

Eat leftover guacamole with oil-free tortilla chips (which are almost impossible to find) but I found the La Reina baked chips at Whole Foods (make sure it's the unsalted kind. The salted have oil).

Weight: +1.2 lbs. from yesterday and that could be from the cheating or from eating salty foods. Anyway, my weight fluctuates throughout the day and throughout the week so I am not too worried about it.

P.S. Tonight, I am watching that show Revenge (the "g" is actually an infinity sign). This show is about a young woman getting revenge on a bunch of rich people in the Hamptons. The dudes wear double popped collars and khakis with crabs on them.
