Breakfast is such an important aspect of the day and it is essential for energy through the day. If you are like me, I am usually running around so breakfasts can be a bit challenging. I usually alternate between a few things, but having a large breakfast can help for fuel for the rest of the day. I notice on the days that I pack a lot of nutrients into breakfast, I feel so much more energetic through the day. This can help me be more productive and happier when I am working and then have classes at night. There are so many recipes out there that are great for starting out the day with.

A delicious recipe you can make in the morning are banana pancakes. I make my oat flour first by blending up a packet or two of oatmeal. Then I add my wet ingredients. 

2 packets of oatmeal
1 banana
¼ or ½ cup of milk alternative depending on how creamy you want the pancakes 
Optional: if you want fruit in your pancakes, it can be added as well for extra flavors (I like adding blueberries to mine)

I blend all these up and let the batter sit for a few minutes to thicken. Then, I put coconut oil on the skillet and once it gets melted I put the pancakes on the skillet. Once there are bubbles I flip them and cook the other sides. Some toppings I enjoy are jam, tofutti cream cheese, and fruit.

I also have some sides if someone wants a larger portion when I cook for my family. I love making tofu scramble from time to time. I will also do pancakes with a side of fruit. I also found some delicious sides at my most recent Whole Foods trip. I found the four potato hash browns from the brand Dr. Praeger's and also some sausage patties from the brand 365. 

For this breakfast, I like to have some granola with fruit and pour some non-dairy milk over it. I usually add strawberries and blueberries to it, but you can also add raspberries, blackberries, or other fruit in this as well for some extra flavor and nutrition. Any other fruit may taste amazing in this as well! Let me know in the comments what your favorite fruit to add to cereals are. For a milk alternative in any of the recipes in this post, I like to alternate between almond milk, soy milk, coconut milk. I have also used hemp milk, cashew, milk, rice milk, and other non-dairy alternatives. These are all delicious options and I have loved all of these. You can also sprinkle on some hemp seeds or chia seeds for some extra omegas and protein. Those are wonderful foods that are extremely nutritious and filling.

I also love using oranges in smoothies. When I am blending up fruit, I usually put in strawberries, mangos, and any other tropical fruit.

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

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

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
