Welcome to my Get Healthy for the Holidays series!

Hope you enjoy!
Love,
Nicole
Vegan Polenta with Asparagus + Lemon Basil Sauce
3 cups water
1 cup almond milk
1 tsp salt
1 cup dry polenta
1 tsp vegan butter (optional)
salt + pepper to taste
asparagus, cleaned and trimmed
ground mustard
onion powder
garlic powder
salt + pepper
Vegan Lemon Basil Sauce
3 tbsp hummus
1 tbsp lemon juice
3-4 large basil leaves
1-2 tbsp water
Combine water, almond milk, and salt in a sauce pan and bring to a boil. Slowly whisk in polenta and stir until thickened. About 30 seconds.
Reduce heat to low and cover.
Cook for 10 minutes, stir. Re-cover. Repeat as needed. Polenta needs about 30 minutes to cook from start to finish, so just keep an eye on it and stir occasionally.
Before serving, add butter and season with salt and pepper to taste.

Then steam asparagus then season with spices and salt and pepper.
Finally, blend hummus, lemon juice, and basil until very smooth. About 30 seconds.
Plate polenta and asparagus, then drizzle sauce on top and finish with a touch more black pepper.
If making for a holiday brunch or even as a side dish, try sprinkling on Follow Your Heart vegan parmesan cheese. So good with this recipe!

Lovely breakfast idea. I prefer savory meals. Looking forward to the next week.
This recipe looks delicious cant wait to try it by the way I love you videos
great idea, i really want to try this for myself!! and what you said about the vegan butter and not demonizing certain foods was pretty amazing. i appreciate stuff like that and know exactly where you are coming from. thank you!! <3
I love that you’re doing a whole week of these healthy meal ideas! Love you and your channel, xo!
Your ideas are great. 🙂
I believe Sabra has a recall on it! Don’t use sabra hummus right now!
Exactly! Love that this is savoury, I prefer savoury for breakfast and have been searching for good recipes! I’ll try this tomorrow! Thanks!
polenta and leaks and butter are my FAVORITE. you need to try it.
I saw one of your videos on Recipes World. Maybe you should check it out.
This looks so delicious! I’ll definitely be making this Sunday for my family
Side note: toss any Sabra hummus you have on hand! Their was a recall earlier this month on all products because of possibly harmful bacteria
I LOVE a savory breakfast and I’ve made this twice already…SO good.
I watch a lot of vegan-related YT….your channel and info is excellent! Thank you!
I never want the overly sweet vegan oatmeal & smoothie bowls that most people include in videos! Thank goodness for a savory vegan breakfast recipe! 🙂
I’m going to try this!
Yum this looks tasty and fancy
Thanks for the point about adding the earth balance! It’s so hard for me to add even a teaspoon sometimes!
I too love savory breakfasts so thank you!
Looks delish!!! I love savory breakfasts thanks for the amazing idea!!
Yesssss savory breakfast!!!
Yum! Can’t wait to try some!
Looks like a winning recipe for a lunch or dinner also!
I’d never eat this for breakfast because to me breakfast has to be sweet but it would be a great dinner as well.
