In grad school I worked at a smoothie shop for supplemental income, so I’d say that I’ve got pretty high standards when it comes to smoothies! This is my favorite one I’ve made (it’s filling, the consistency I like, and delicious) and is full of antioxidants from the blueberries (and extra nutrients from the hidden…

Vegan Black Bean Burgers
One of my favorite food bloggers I follow on instagram, Rachel Mansfield, posted an image with her homemade black bean burgers. I love her dessert and breakfast recipes, but haven’t ever made a savory dish of hers. The black bean burgers were the first savory recipe I ever tried of Rachel’s, and I have to…
Strawberry Chia Pudding
Chia pudding has many nutritional benefits, and I love a good chia pudding recipe! Loved this one because it gets a pinkish color and natural sweetness from the strawberries. Recipe inspired by Boho Beautiful Life Strawberry Chia Pudding Makes 1-2 servings Ingredients: 1 cup coconut milk 1/4 cup chia seeds 1/4 tsp vanilla extract 1/2…
One Pot Chickpea Shakshuka
I love normal (non-vegan) shakshuka with eggs, and have had subpar chickpea shakshuka’s before, so I had low expectations for this recipe. My vegan friend highly recommended this recipe from Minimalist Baker, so I decided to try it, and I very much enjoyed it! I also topped it with Eden Grinshpan’s Garlicky tahini, which I…
Braised Red Cabbage with Apples
My mom recently made this braised Red Cabbage with Apples recipe from NY Times and it was SO GOOD, so I decided to share the recipe with all of you (and so I can easily reference it when I want to make it myself). Here is the recipe: Braised Red Cabbage with Apples Yield: 6-8…
homemade blueberry compote

I’ve had it served with yogurt (I use plain fage greek yogurt 2%) and granola, as well as homemade pancakes and waffles Here’s Lacey Baier’s recipe: Homemade Blueberry Compote Ingredients…
No-bake German Chocolate Cake Cups
Found this delicious looking recipe on Dani’s Healthy Eats, and since I had left over almond flour (from making homemade almond milk) and an event to bring dessert to, I knew this was a perfect opportunity to try this recipe! I made a few edits to Dani’s original recipe (which you can find in red)…
Creamy Whipped Banana Oatmeal
With a combo of peanut butter, banana, and oatmeal, whats not to love? I’m normally someone who chooses to microwave my oats for oatmeal (because it’s much faster) but given that I had extra almond milk from making Homemade Almond Milk (and flour), I thought I’d give this recipe from Erin Lives Whole a try. I’m…
Vegan Cheesy Roasted Cauliflower
I bought nutritional yeast for another vegan cheese recipe (which I did not like) and was looking for recipes to use the rest of my nutritional yeast. I love roasted cauliflower, so I was excited to try this recipe for Cheesy Vegan Roasted Cauliflower from the Roasted Root. I didn’t have paprika, and was also…
Butternut Squash and Apple Soup
Right now the best soup I have EVER made. Thank you ginabnutrition for this recipe (found on her instagram). The fall flavors of this soup are just incredible, and I love that this soup uses seasonal ingredients. I made a few adjustments based on ingredients I had at home to her original recipe (adjustments will…
