Recipe!! On The Go Addition: Berry Oatmeal

-

Hey guys! Today is going to be a bit of a different recipe post than normal. One thing I have noticed in plant-based diet journey is that it is extremely hard to find something to eat while on the go. For the "On The Go Addition" recipe post, I am going to share recipes that can be made ahead of the time and brought with you on any adventure you go on.

I have started meal prepping, and I got these awesome containers that are featured in this post. They are reusable, microwaveable and dishwasher safe! This container is separated into three different sections. One large section and two sections that are the same size. You can click on the photo at the bottom of this page to buy them from amazon. I may do a few posts on meal prepping if there is enough interest from you guys. I am very excited to star on this new leg of my journey and I hope it helps smooth out some of the bumps in the road I have been experiencing.

Now for the reason you clicked on this post. This to go meal is a technically a breakfast meal, but to be completely honest I would eat this any time of the day. The first section has a trail mix in it. I put pumpkin seeds, almonds and dried cranberries in it. You can add any dried fruit, nuts, or seeds you would like to. I used raw ingredients to make mine, but you can use any ingredients you would like. The second container has two dates and almond butter in it. I love to dip my dates in nut butter. This is definitely optional but I highly suggest you try it! Finally, the last section is the maple oatmeal topped with frozen berries. The recipe for the oatmeal is below! Keep in mind that if you add the frozen berries before you eat it they will defrost.

This recipe will keep you full for a long time. If you do not eat all of the trail mix or dates they would make a great snack for later in your day.

Have you tried this recipe? What is your favorite oatmeal recipe? Any suggestions on recipes you would like to see? Do you meal plan? Do you want me to write more about meal planning? Let me know in the comments!

Live Well on a Budget!

Hi All, Happy Monday! The topic of my discussion today focuses around words. What I mean by that is, depending on the words you use to describe something, someone will automatically get the impression whether it is good, bad, cheap, expensive, old or new just to name a few things. First let's talk about food. Meal kits, meal starters, one skillet meals have a nice ring to them but when you look up the word leftovers there is nothing appealing about. If you look up synonyms for the word leftovers you can find words like scraps, remnants and crumbs so who would want to eat that? Maybe we need to change the way we think of leftovers. Personally I love it when I have food leftover because that automatically becomes my "meal kit" that I can use as the basis for a new dish. Yes. you can just reheat your original meal but that can be boring. However if you add some ingredients and change the flavor profile by adding some spices, you have not only saved money but c...

Best Delicious Non Dairy Treats

A lot of people think that you have to cut out tasty foods when you go vegan, but good news, it is FAR from the truth! There are many different ice creams out there and cheesecakes that I have tried that I have really enjoyed. One of the first brands I have tried was Haagen Dazs and I have tried three of their non-dairy flavors including chocolate salted fudge truffle, peanut butter chocolate fudge, and mocha chocolate cookie. Also, Breyers has an Oreo flavor that is also wonderful. They also have a peanut butter flavor that I would like to try as well. I had the oreo flavor with some fruit and the original flavor of the Daiya Cheesecake. They also have other flavors of the cheesecake including key lime, strawberry, pumpkin, and chocolate. I also love having some sparkling water, juice, or some kombucha if I am feeling like I want something other than water. This can be a better alternative to sodas if you want something with some fla...
