Ciao Amici,

Here are some small meal and snack ideas I had the
pleasure of treating myself to over the weekend. Put them to the taste test and let me know what you think!

1.Toast and Butter
Two slices of (Food for Life) toasted raisin pecan rice bread topped with
two teaspoons of unsalted pistachio butter. Enjoy with
a 6 oz container of (Wholesoy&Co.) blueberry soy
yogurt. (great for breakfast or midmorning snack)

2.Hot Chocolate
Slowly heat 1.5 ozs of Ghirardelli 100% cacao
unsweetened baking chocolate in a small saucepan. Once
melted, add 8 Fl ozs of Original Almond milk. Stir
until all the ingredients have meshed. Pour in to your
favorite large mug and add another cold fl. oz. of
almond milk with two shakes of ground cinnamon. Sachet
of Stevia to sweeten (optional)
(perfect as a post dinner weekend beverage instead of
coffee or beer. You can also add a scoop of Jarrow’s
unflavoured whey protein concentrate powder and have it as a
mid-afternoon snack.)

All of the above ingredients can be purchased at
Wholefoods.

Buon Apetit!

Gennaro
