single serve baked oats w/ caramelized green apple single serve baked oats w/ caramelized green apple & shredded coconut—
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
yet another🥲 if you don’t have baking dishes for baked oats yet get on it! search 10oz baking dish into Amazon, there are a ton of options. you can make other desserts, pies, or baby casseroles in them too. so far it’s been my best investment in 2021!
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
here’s how to make this one—
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
in a small pan add a diced up green apple, 2 tsp coconut oil, and 1 tsp maple syrup or agave. fry until golden.
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
in a blender add—
—1/2 banana
—1/2 cup rolled oats
—1/2 cup vanilla oat milk
—1 tsp cinnamon or nutmeg
—1 tsp baking powder
—pinch of salt
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
blend for a few seconds then pour into your baking dish. top with the carmelized apple and a tbsp or 2 of shredded coconut. bake for 30 min at 400 degrees, let cool then serve!
cilantro lime chick'n and rice bowl-- ⠀⠀⠀⠀ cilantro lime chick'n and rice bowl--
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
if you're a fan of chipotle you'll love this bowl. the "chick'n" is made from seitan, aka wheat gluten. seitan is made from mixing wheat flour and water - when you rinse it well, it magically takes on the texture of meat! The majority of the carbohydrates are literally rinsed away with the water, and all you're left with is a high protein chicken like texture. if you can handle gluten, you NEED to incorporate seitain into your diet!
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
I also tried to mimic chipotle’s cilantro lime rice - at chipotle, they add unnecessary refined oils which add up in calories (a standard bowl at chipotle is 1,000 calories) and have no health benefits. with a bowl like this one, you can eat bigger portions than you would be served at chipotle and still be hundreds of calories under. 
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
I highly recommend this bowl for meal prep - most grocery stores sell seitan, but you can find it on online too. the bowl only takes about 20-30 minutes to prepare and is seriously a million times healthier than chipotle (sorry to break your heart💔)

1/2 cup rolled oats
1/2 banana
1 tsp baking powder
1 tbsp brown sugar

falafel bowl w/ beet hummus—
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
does the color of your food make a difference to you? lately I’ve been really into elevating simple meals by adding lots of color to my plate, and I swear it makes the food taste better!
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
this bowl is a lot easier than it might look, the falafels are air fried which cuts down the time by a TON. this recipe makes anywhere from 12 - 18 balls, I actually like doubling the batch and keeping a bunch frozen for days I don’t feel like cooking.
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
if you try this bowl send me a pic! have a happy happy friday💖

smashed potatoes w/ vegan ranch— ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ smashed potatoes w/ vegan ranch—
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
my not so guilty pleasure 🤤 typically potatoes are deep fried and ranch is loaded with dairy and chemicals. fortunately, this version is just as good as authentic potatoes and ranch minus all the processed junk and animal products.
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
for the potatoes you’ll need to boil them until fork tender, toss with seasoning (I used sea salt, paprika, and dried cilantro), smash them on a baking tray, then bake at 400 for about 30 min.
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
for the vegan ranch, blend—
1 cup vegan mayo (I like @primalkitchen )
1/4 cup oat milk
1 tsp apple cider vinegar
1 tsp dijon mustard
2 tbsp fresh parsley leaves
2 tbsp fresh dill
1 tsp garlic powder
1 tbsp paprika
sea salt & pepper (to taste)
giant white bean chili— ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ giant white bean chili—
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
this is literally prob the best soup I’ve ever made. if you like creamy & fatty recipes but still want to be healthy (hi, me) this soup is for you!
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
the bulk of the soup are the beans, specifically the giant white beans. I bought them canned at @traderjoes in a red sauce but ended up draining and rinsing them to get rid of the tomato and oil and it worked soooo well. if you can’t find giant white beans, just add another can of regular white beans.

my 2 biggest complaints in regard to my skin are d my 2 biggest complaints in regard to my skin are due to cold weather - eczema and ultra dry skin😭
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
I’ve cut out processed foods (for the most part😬) and introduced pre and probiotics to keep my gut healthy which has gotten rid of the eczema during spring, summer, and fall. unfortunately, when I'm in cold, dry weather the eczema creeps back.
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
while I haven’t been able to get rid of it 100%, I started using @trulybeauty unicorn CBD which has been helping SO much. the cream is extremely thick and difficult to spread so I only use it on my hands, ankles, elbows, and anywhere I'm prone to eczema. obviously everyone is different, but this strategy has worked for me!
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
my skin is super dry in general, and if I don't exfoliate weekly the dead skin builds up resulting in itchy, ashy skin. I've been using @trulybeauty 's CBD body scrub for a few months now and it is one of the only scrubs that actually removes all the dead skin and keeps my skin fully clear for up to a week.
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
I wrote an entire blog post on dry skin - if you relate to any of this, I highly recommend checking it out. It's not possible to get rid of dry skin for good BUT there are a lot of methods and products that can help keep your skin comfortable year round, especially during the dry winter months.

reese’s peanut butter cup smoothie bowl—
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
prob my favorite smoothie of all time. I grew up on dairy queen reese’s peanut butter cup blizzards which inspired this smoothie bowl 🥜 this version is 10x healthier though and tastes just as indulgent as the original!
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
I like mine pretty light and simple, if you want it more decadent melt 1/4 @hukitchen chocolate bar and mix it into the smoothie once it’s blended.
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
to get it to a thick “ice cream” consistency, you don’t want to add too much milk. I start with 1/4 cup and gradually increase to about 1/2 cup, sometimes less. if you don’t have a tamper with your blender, try using a food processor. it’s faster and much easier to blend - thick mixtures like this tend to get stuck easily and can burn your blender if you don’t have a tamper to keep the mixture moving.
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
recipe⇣
2 frozen bananas
1/2 cup vanilla macadamia milk
1/2 tbsp pb2 powder
1 scoop protein powder
1 tbsp peanut butter (topping)
1 tbsp vegan chocolate chips (topping)
1/2 tbsp hemp seeds (topping)
1/4 cup granola (topping)
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
—add frozen bananas, 1/4 cup milk, pb2 powder, and protein powder to your blender or food processor.
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
—start to blend and gradually add more milk if the mixture isn’t moving. be careful not to add too much milk, or the mixture will be too liquidy (which works too!)
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
—add granola to the bottom of your jar and top with the “ice cream”.
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
—top with peanut butter, hemp seeds, and vegan chocolate chips.
