Life Alive is an amazing vegetarian restaurant in Cambridge. It revolutionized vegetarian foods for me (I used to imagine only salads or unhealthy veggie patties) and I realized that vegetarian dishes can be filling, tasty, and actually healthy. Whenever I eat at Life Alive, I leave energized and full. It is the best.
This sauce from Life Alive is great over a bowl of steamed veggies and rice. When I make it I pour it over the following:
- Brown rice (white rice for Jeff)
- Steamed kale
- Steamed carrots (using a bag of grated carrots)
- Steamed broccoli (I used frozen broc)
- 1/2 sliced avocado
- A bit of stir fried firm tofu
- Chopped beets
- Tablespoon of Bragg Nutritional Yeast Seasoning
- Hot sauce for some flavoring
