A little while ago someone commented and asked me what my favourite things are to snack on. I have been meaning to write a post on this and now today is the day.
I am definitely a snacker especially when I am out and don’t have time to pack a full on meal. I also like having 5 smaller meals a day because I find it easier to digest and I never reach a extreme hunger or what some like to call…
next smoothie- berry banana! just add 2 cups mixed berries (I used trader joes’ berry medley with raspberries, strawberries, blackberries, and blueberries), 2 bananas, 1 cup plant based milk, one cup water, and ice to your blender. blend until smooth and you’re done! literally so healthy, yummy, and refreshing!
ignore my dogs puppy eyes in the background.. she must have wanted these spring rolls as much as i did but seriously these veggie “egg” rolls from whole foods were delish. I would recommend popping them in your toaster instead of microwaving them like suggested, as they will actually turn out crispy this way.
so today I accidentally ate some bread with egg in it it was in my school dining hall, and they usually have signs saying what allergens the foods contain. however, on this sign it didn’t say that the bread contained egg so I ate some. my friend was talking to the lunch lady and she was the one who told her that the bread actually does contain egg. by the time my friend let me know, I had already eaten quite a few pieces. obviously it was extremely frustrating for me, once I realized I had eaten something that wasn’t vegan, but I just need to realize that veganism isn’t about perfection and to just take this as a learning opportunity to always be more careful and double check with my school in the future
Quick lil veggie bowl with some of my staples ⬇️⬇️⬇️ Mixed greens chickpeas sweet potato avocado purple cabbage (a new fav to add to salads - gives a cruciferous crunch with some extra fiber and antioxidants .

Sparkling AÇAÍ SMOOTHIE BOWL ✨ Did you know that acai berries have one of the highest antioxidant capacities of any food? Acai has also been shown to improve lipid profiles (↑ HDL, ↓ LDL cholesterol), brain health (↓ neuroinflammation & may reduce age-related cognitive decline) and has many other health benefits. ⬇️⬇️⬇️ ❤️ 2 packs @sambazon frozen acai 1.5c mixed berries 1/2-1c water TOPPINGS: raspberries, strawberries, blueberries @manitobaharvest hempseeds @foodsalive raw almonds
SCRUMPTIOUS OATMEAL COOKIES (vegan and plenty of fiber) I made these cookies at my dad’s request post-knee replacement and they were a hit! ⬇️⬇️⬇️ INGREDIENTS: 1/2 cup @earthbalance vegan butter 1 cup brown sugar 3 tbsp maple syrup 1 tbsp vanilla extract 1 ½ cups @bobsredmill rolled oats 1 cup flour (can be GF, etc.) 1 tsp baking soda 1/2 tsp salt Spoonful cinnamon 1/8c almond milk 2-3 tbsp unsweetened apple sauce (optional, makes cookies softer) Things got a bit unique for the fillers since we were out of raisins ☺️…I used: ✨1/2c chopped prunes (‘prune cookies’ sounds strange but they worked well since prunes are like giant/juicer raisins) ✨1/4c chopped pitted dates ✨1/2c crushed @foodsalive walnuts (Can use ¾-1c raisins, walnuts optional) HOW TO MAKE: 0️⃣Pre-heat oven to 350F. 1️⃣ Mix ‘butter’ (room temp) and brown sugar in bowl w/ electric mixer. Add syrup and vanilla. 2️⃣In a separate bowl mix oats, flour, baking soda, salt and cinnamon. 3️⃣ Gradually add dry ingredients to the wet and mix by hand…this will take some and the dough will be quite crumbly. 4️⃣ Add the almond milk and applesauce (optional). If still too thick to mix, add a splash of milk. 5️⃣ Add fillers (raisins, walnuts, prunes, dates, etc.) 6️⃣ Line tray with parchment paper. Roll dough into small-medium balls and flatten them slightly on the tray. I fit ~16 on one tray. 7️⃣ Bake until tops are golden brown (~15-20 mins) and VOILA you have some scrumptious cookies. ➡️Pro-tip: if they stick around for several days, microwave before eating because warm oatmeal cookies are ENJOY P.s. Hope you all are staying healthy (and sane) stuck at home #plantbased #dairyfree #bestofvegan #healthyfood #healthyeating #healthyfoodshare #veganfoodshare #mealprep #vegan #veganfood #healthy #cleaneating #cleaneats #veganrecipes #goodoldvegan #befitfoods #bestofvegan #veganeats #vegan_veganfood #befitfoods #vegancookies #vegantreats #oatmealraisin #vegandessert#whatveganseat (at Boston, Massachusetts) https://www.instagram.com/p/B99fnHrnRCf/?igshid=rcstyik8qnsv
