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!

Healthy & Flavorful Vegan Meals

Sometimes it can be helpful to meal prep for the week, especially if you are typically really busy. Here are some recipes that may be good for you if you want to make some good meals for yourself and your loved ones. One meal you could do is take some of the Gardein Chicken tenders and bake those. You can put them over some rice or shredded veggies with some seasoning. I usually put a lemon on the side to add some extra flavor. Another thing that I typically put lemon on is some fishless fillets by Gardein. I had this with some cauliflower rice with lemon and garlic to flavor it. I also decided to have some zucchini on the side for extra vegetables. Another meal I love making wraps with some tortilla chips. For this above, you can stuff a tortilla with cucumber, tomato, hummus, and any other veggies that could be added. This is a great meal that can be healthy but filling. I like to have tortilla chips and salsa on the side as well. The last one that I want to sha

Veganism and Animals: Does veganism really help animals?

With all of the greener lifestyles that are being adapted all around the world there are tons of questions about exactly what veganism is, and exactly how it pertains to animals. For the vast majority of people it is extremely important to realize that you simply cannot make a sudden change like shifting from eating burgers every day to living a successful vegan lifestyle overnight. However, it is also possible to make some substantial changes that are on the path to becoming vegan and showing animals the respect that you believe they deserve. Many people in the quest to treat animals better are appalled to learn that many countries use some rather unconventional animals as food; this for many people can be action that triggers their desire to change to a vegan lifestyle, however for others it is simply another reason in a long list of reasons. Many countries such as China make usage of animals such as dog for their meals and many times people are unhappy to learn this, how

Healthy Snacks

Sometimes when you are in a pinch it can be a bit of a struggle to eat healthy. Sometimes you run out of produce when you are out and may have to settle for some packaged foods. There are some better options to reach for when you want to get a snack. There are definitely some good brands out there that I love getting for when I have a busy work day. Some of these snacks can be good for dipping in salsa or hummus, or any other dip. A lot of these snacks shown also have other flavors in that kind that are also really good to try out. I love all of the products I have tried by a brand called The Daily Crave so far. I love eating these as a snack with some hummus or you could find any other dip that may go well with this. I enjoy any sort of spread that can be eaten with this and you can also top it with some veggies as well. There are also some other really good flavors including tomato basil, barbeque, salt and vinegar, and sriracha. They have veggie, lentil, and quinoa ch
