White Bean Thai Basil Pate
Pates are your friend. Often when I hear that people eat vegan or vegetarian and still feel hungry it is because they are trying to eat vegetables like they did when they eat their meat: Light and on the side. Pate is a dead easy, heavy weight food that you add to burritos, wraps, or on the side with cut veggies, or veggie chips!
The weight in the pate makes you feel full which is essential to eating vegan or vegetarian. You can change up this recipe pretty easy and make it Mexican, Indian or any other flavor that makes your little heart go pitter pat.
