  • Getting school snacks ready! My 4 year old loves no bake balls, full of almond butter and flaxseeds, but rolling them into balls can be exhausting. So I squished the “dough” into an 8x8 pan and cut them into bars instead. *duh* Why didn’t I think of this earlier?! No Bake Granola Energy Bars (working on a name here)
3 cups rolled oats
12 oz (1.5 cups) almond butter
10 oz Enjoy Life mini chocolate chips, dairy free @enjoylifefoods
1 cup oval raw honey
3/4 cup ground flaxseedMix and press into lined 8x8 pan. Refrigerate and cut into bars. Enjoy!” #worksmarternotharder #energyballs #granolabar #recipesofinstagram #recipes #plantbasedblogger #plantbasedkids #backtoschool #schoolsnacks #onthegosnack #texasblogger #milspouseblogger #foodblogger
  • Holy amount of food! Have you ever tried to eat 1 lb of raw veggies and 1 lb of cooked veggies in one day? I should have skipped the rice, I couldn’t finish, lol.#summerbounty #eatyourveggies #eattolive #plantbasedfamily #plantbasedkids #plantbasedblogger #foodblogger #onestepatatime #onedayatatime #healthyfood #changinghabits #raisinghealthyeaters
  • I’m focusing on what I need to add into my diet this week rather than what I can’t/shouldn’t have. Mentally, this is a game changer for me. Does this work for you?I’m trying to eat 1 pound fresh veggies, 1 pound cooked, 1 cup beans, and 4 fruits per day (per Eat To Live). Basically if you eat anything else (like the tortillas on my plate) that’s really hard! AND I was in a hurry this morning to get my kids to swimming so I made a protein shake for breakfast and ate the other half of the baby P’s banana, which puts me behind in the fruit category. I will probably have a bowl of mixed fruit for dessert tonight.But back to my lunch, 2 H-E-B homemade delicious tortillas...they probably aren’t vegan, oh well. About 1 cup vegan refried black beans, a sprinkle of flax seeds (gotta get those Omega-3’s in), and Texas style salsa. My 1/2 pound of romaine is in the jar so I put as much of it as I could on my plate and sprinkled some of my prepped red onion and sweet peppers on top with a few carrots. And the strawberries because I didn’t eat much fruit for breakfast. Homemade ranch dressing. The other plates and bowls belong to the kiddos.Working baby steps, one meal and one day at a time.
