Considering switching to a whole foods plant-based

Considering switching to a whole foods plant-based diet? Breakfast is one of the easiest meals to start! These banana chocolate chip pancakes have no eggs or dairy and are kid-approved! I added some raspberries for some color and tartness— top with real maple syrup and breakfast is served.

One of my favorite snacks are these chocolate almo

One of my favorite snacks are these chocolate almond energy balls. Soak 10 pitted medjool dates in warm water for 10 minutes. Add dates to the food processor with 1/3 cup almond butter, 1/4 cup dairy free chocolate chips (I use the mini chips from @enjoylifefoods ), 2/3 cup rolled oats, and 1 tbsp ground flaxseed (I use @bobsredmill ). Pulse until combined and roll into balls. Refrigerate for about an hour and then enjoy! These are my go to snack on school days for a quick sweet treat! If you don’t like almond butter, you could, of course, substitute peanut or cashew butter.

If you are considering whole foods plant-based eat

If you are considering whole foods plant-based eating, breakfast is one of the easiest meals to start with when switching over. Try cold cereal with plant-based milk— our family prefers unsweetened almond milk, oat milk, and if we are looking for something creamy an almond milk/coconut milk mix.
I love to make a giant pot of steel cut oats in the instant pot for the week. Cooking them in the instant pot is super easy and you can even do it overnight with the slow cooking function. Slow cooking the oats prevents them from getting dried out and then you can put the batch in the fridge to portion out over the week. In the morning just top the oats with some frozen fruit, maple syrup, and a sprinkle of nuts— microwave for a few minutes and you’re good to go!
Another breakfast that I prep ahead is pancakes, our favorite is cranberry orange. To make your pancakes whole food plant-based use whole wheat flour, unsweetened applesauce, and ground flaxseed mixed with warm water in place the eggs. DM me if you’d like some good pancake recipes!

Tonight‘s one pot meal was Moroccan Tagine (vegg

Tonight‘s one pot meal was Moroccan Tagine (veggie) full of chickpeas, tomatoes, carrots, garlic and of course the spices— cinnamon, cumin, coriander, smoked paprika, and cayenne pepper. I ran out of couscous, so decided to serve it over bulgur, and it was delicious! #wholefoodsplantbaseddiet #wholefoodsplantbased #forksoverknives #plantstrong #plantstrongvegan #plantbased

Love making these SUPER easy one pan veggie tacos!

Love making these SUPER easy one pan veggie tacos! This batch has black beans, fire roasted corn (in the frozen foods section), heirloom cherry tomatoes, onions and cilantro with homemade taco seasoning. Add corn tortillas, pico de gallo, previously prepped brown rice, and guacamole and I have dinner and lunch for tomorrow! #tacotuesday #plantbased #plantstrong #plantstrongvegan #wholefoodsplantbased

One of the best things about whole foods plant-bas

One of the best things about whole foods plant-based eating is that weekday meal prep can get a lot easier! This afternoon, I came home from a day of teaching, tutoring, and kid,-chauffeuring, and there wasn’t a lot of time to get some thing ready for dinner. Thankfully, there was some arugula in the fridge and I used the night before’s pasta dish and a can of diced tomatoes to repurpose a new dinner! #who#wholefoodsplantbaseda#plantstronga#plantbasedrecipesa#plantbaseddinnern#runonplantsa#plantbasedg#veganfood#mojo.video
