My lunch today consisted of this sandwich (open-faced) with some baked beans and a few Popchips.
There are a few types of vegetarian bacon on the market, this one is new to me and honestly it was only so-so.
It only vaguely smelled and tasted like bacon. I personally like the taste of this one (also by Lightlife) better, but it is very salty. Also the tempeh bacon is organic and has a little bit better nutritional profile when you compare the serving sizes.
To make the sandwich I just toasted a piece of bread and spread it with a tiny bit of Vegenaise and mustard. Then I layered a few pieces of sad lettuce (need to go to the store!), sliced tomato, sliced avocado, and the cooked tempeh bacon. To make it a little easier to eat, I think I would mash up the avocado next time and spread it on the bread under everything else.
For some reason I’ve always liked eating baked beans with potato chips. Popchips are definitely a great healthier alternative to potato chips and I have to admit I’m kind of obsessed with them. If you haven’t tried them, you should! My sister said she’s had a hard time locating them – I usually get mine at Target.
What a tasty little lunch! I love beans + tempeh. Oh ya and those little gems called Pop Chips!
