Broc Guac! Thanks to everyone who voted. In honor of my creation now having an official name, I celebrated with breakfast.
Broc Guac Scramble
My lovely plate consisted of sauteed 1/4 onion, 1/2 red bell pepper, mushrooms, and spinach mixed with scrambled eggs and topped with 2 big spoonfuls of Broc Guac. Check out Kath’s version of Broc Guac here. Sounds delicious!
For my second course, I had a serving of brown Basmati rice (best brown rice ever!) with some double nut butter action.
You want a bite, don't you? 
What is the largest number of different nut butters that you have ever added to any one dish? I think I had tri-nut butter oats once. These days, in an attempt to cut down on grocery spending, I am only buying Trader Joe’s unsalted crunchy peanut butter (my favorite & the cheapest – less than $2!!!), and I’ve been making my own almond butter. There have been NO online nut butter orders in our household for over 2 months. Good job Heather! No, but seriously, I’ve gotten really used to my plain peanut butter and homemade almond butter. The thought of sweetened and salty jars doesn’t really appeal to me anymore. Nothing like 100% nuts…although, I still really want to try PB & Co’s Mighty Maple. Why don’t they sell it in Nashville?!?
Today’s yoga consisted of 60 minutes of Bikram Yoga at Hot Yoga Nashville. I’d only done 2 Bikram classes before my Power Yoga workshop. Our teacher told us that when we returned to Bikram, we would probably find it quite challenging after a month of only Power Yoga. Well, since I hadn’t really done much of it to begin with, I was really surprised by my improvements. My balance and flexibility is so much better. That being said, the room was heated to 105 degrees, about 10 degrees hotter than for Power Yoga. Talk about a sweat fest! It was awesome.
Today marks the last day of dairy and soy-free month. Check back tomorrow for a recap. Hope everyone is having a wonderful week thus far. Are you breathing?

i don’t know that I’ve ever used more than one nut butter on a dish – maybe I need to!
HELL YES FOR BROC GUAC!!!
I usually just stick with one nut butter/seed butter type per dish. I’m uniform like that, haha.
I’m barely breathing
Brown basmati rice is indeed the best kind – so delicious!! I have to try
it with nut butters. I agree they are pretty expensive, I just bought a 2kg jar of Kirkland natural PB that should last
me awhile… I hope!
Mmm, I tried some asparagus guacamole the other day. I’ll have to give the broccoli version a try! And your melty nut butters look delicious…I could eat my weight in peanut butter

Have a wonderful day!
Oh, and I haven’t used my coupon yet!!! I can’t decided WHAT to get..there are too many choices!!?? What should I do? LOL
Peace and PB,
COCONUT MILK ICE-CREAM.
broc guac! i love it! what an amazing looking breakfast! and yes i do want a bite of that basmati rice with double nut butter! i love all your creative nut butter uses
Can I have a bite?! I’ve never thought to have rice with PB before! YUM! I think I’ll have some tomorrow.
I need to buy some almonds to make more AB…too bad I can’t make my own Vanilla AB, that stuff is AMAZING!
Yummm love your breakfast as always! I just won a month to Yogaworks so I get to see what all this talk is about yoga finally! Can’t wait!
Hooray for the last day of dairy and soy-free month!! How are you going to celebrate tomorrow? You rock. Bfast looks awesome! I’ve only ever put at max- 2 types of nut butters in a mix- so delicious!
Erica,
Hi! Well, I’ve got some Stoneyfield coupons to celebrate with, but after that I think I’ll stick with being dairy free as I’m feeling really good these days without it.
i was secretly hoping brocomole would win darn it! haha. but, either is great!
haven’t tried PB Co.’s maple, but you must try the dark chocolate dreams if you haven’t already. http://www.keepitsimplefoods.com/breakfast/morning-candy/
Yummy looking scramble. I don’t have near enough broc in my life.
I was very excited about the Mighty Maple but have to say its REALLY sweet. I wasn’t as crazy about it as I thought I would be.
Yay broc guac!
Now I just need to make some of the green goodness.
Way to save money on the nut butters! I will definitely have to try TJ’s PB because it is really cheap! I love the almond butter so far. I’ve added 2 kinds of nut butter to oatmeal before…pretty much amazing!
Great job with Bikram this morning! I bet it’s great for sweating out all sorts of toxins.
Have a great night, Heather!
Don’t buy any Mighty Maple. And yes, I have something beside BBQ Sauce up my sleeve. Or on my sleeve. Who am I kidding? I’m wearing a tank top.
Anyway, don’t buy the nut butter…
I adore your broc guac scramble!! WHY oh WHY are we out of eggs – I’m craving them big time now!
TJs PB is the best – anyone who hasn’t tried it is missing out! You need to get some Mighty Maple in your life asap!
ohhhh, how i am longing for some broc guac of my very own!
i loooove nut butters, i mix them all the time! i’ve never put it on rice though. PERFECT idea!!! i actually just had a bunch of basmati rice (smothered in soy sauce). it really is the best!
cant wait for the recap!
aww no one liked broccomole??? Well when I get around to making it, I will just say that is what I’m eating! Hmm, I usually don’t mix nut butters but I definitely like mixed nuts!
I had to stop myself from licking the screen – Broc Guac Scramble looks unbelievable… mmm..
YUM YUM YUM!!!!!
I don’t usually mix up my nut butters, but I do currently have FIVE different types in my fridge/pantry. I have this bad habit of neglecting nut butters once it gets to the bottom of the jar because it isn’t as gooey and spreadable. I should probably get on that…
I wish I could eat avocado, your broc guac looks amazing! I don’t think just a “broc” would be the same
LOVE HOT YOGA! I’ve been in a room when it topped out at 108!!! It was a “cool” 96 when we ended…
BROC GUAC LIVES!!!
you totally need to try mighty maple. give me addy; i’ll send you some!
Love the broc guac!
I am barely breathing. Just being honest. Overwhelmed by work, school and running. I can hardly fit sleep in!
Oh Heather! You names my poison… Bikram is my obsession! It is the intesity of running without the impact. I have never put nut butter on rice. That is going on the list. Love it!
I have an avacado in my kitchen and have been thinking of broc guac all day! I need to make it before it goes bad.
Don’t you love the sweat fest?
Yum! I love the broc guac idea.
Rice and nut butter?! You always have the best combinations… like broc guac and eggs! I love putting funky things in my scrambles.
I had guac for breakfast too–sadly, it was not broc guac. I bet your breakfast was way better as a result:)
Leave it to you to top rice with PB! I would never even think of that!
Everytime I visit a store that has PB& Co products I look for Mighty Maple for you. We have every other flavor but not that one! I wonder why Utah hates on it too!
Elizabeth,
You’re so sweet. Thanks for being on the lookout.
Rice and nut butter??!! Heather, I have never even thought of trying this but your creations intrigue me so!
I need to start taking more risks in the kitch!
I have to say, I’ve gotten quite used to adding nut butters to my dishes/meals….SO filling and I just love the salty/sweet combo. TJ’s PB is under $2?!!! No way!! I had no idea it was so cheap. That’s on my list for my next trip there.
Hooray for Broc Guac! You should seriously try to get the trademark on that name – so catchy.
And I’m going to yoga tonight at a for-reals studio. I’m so nervous! Hopefully they won’t kick me out.
Holly,
Don’t be nervous about yoga tonight. Just do your best and maybe give the teacher a heads up before class that you’re new. Oh, and don’t forget to breathe.
I’ve never combined different nut butters (except for crunchy + smooth BB)… you’re putting all sorts of ideas in my head
Tried your spinach oats today too… interesting
I love all your yoga progress. I really need to get into it. Sounds awesome!
Heather,
First of all. Rice + PB = BRILLIANT. Rice is cheap. PB is cheap. And you know I need to use up a whole bunch of rice in my April shop free challenge. What a great alternative to oats! I’m totally stealing your idea.
I’ve never tried more than one nut butter at once. Although sometimes I will have one peice of toast with cashew butter and one with peanut butter.
You have given my some serious food for thought today! Lol.
With Love,
Emily
Broc Guac – I love it!
I have to try this broc guac
The colors in your scramble are so pretty! I’ve only added two nut butters at one time, but I’m thinking I might have to go completely crazy and try three or four. I’m not sure I could handle all of that nutty goodness in one place, but I’m willing to give it a try…
The mighty maple is so good!!! VG sent me some- angel fairy i know!! It would probably taste reaaally sweet to you since you’re used to TJ’s unsalted/unsweetened and homemade! HMMM maybe for the next nut butter attempt- throw some maple syrup in the food processor?? I have some, but it’s sugar-free :O
It’s so funny, after my “bad” experience with bikram where i didn’t really like it….i have found myself really wanting to try it again lately!! Maybe i shall…have a good one heather!
Do you make your almond butter in your Vita-Mix with the dry blade? I have a Vita-Mix but do not have the dry blade.
