what a typical day of eating looks like as a plant-based family!🌱 BREAKFAST - green juice + a bit of green apple is the perfect way to introduce mineral rich leafy greens and veggies into your kiddos’ gut microbiome to help them develop a palate for them. …and the perfect counterbalance is a fruity smoothie bowl rich in vitamins and antioxidants! the kids go crazy for hemp seeds and cashew butter, which served as the perfect healthy fats for toppings. SNACK - a fresh plate of fruit is mother nature’s fruit snack! delay the ultra processed and refined sugary foods as long as possible so your children can identify what true sweetness tastes like! LUNCH - we love using chickpea pasta bc it’s SO high in protein and iron, and the cheeze sauce was made using cashews, spices, and non-fortified nutritional yeast (naturally high in B vitamins, protein & iron) SNACK - strawberry banana oat muffins made from scratch and loaded w/ healthy carbs, fats and protein, and then kale chips, the perfect crunch-satisfier that isn’t loaded w/ seed oil and trans fats! DINNER - oil-free (un)fried rice w/ baked tofu and sautéed veggies. there is just SO much flavor in this dish I can’t even explain it! it’s also high in protein + iron, vitamins + minerals! ✨you can find all recipes in our @eatmoverest meal planner & recipe app! membership.eatmoverest.com ✨Subscribe: KZread.com/EatMoveRest ✨Follow: Instagram.com/ErinStanczyk 🌟Watch another What We Ate Today Short here! kzread.infoOpuOS6LY5yE?feature=share #plantpowered #toddlerfood #veganfamily

@s.f.nightingale1735

6 ай бұрын

​@@phoneman-xs3ft I'm not sure what type of dorm you have(mine was a shared apartment with an actual kitchen), I'm gonna run with a mini fridge concept, instead of a full fridge. I don't eat plant based, but based on what's in this video. You could prep fresh smoothies and freeze them in portion in your freezer. Same with the fruit, but a lot of fruit and vegetables can be kept at room temperature, so I'd lean towards those. Tofu, stays in the fridge, I don't know what Mac and cheese she's using if it's packaged or home made. If it's home made you can diversify your pasta types, I know there is more than chickpea. And it let's you pick your cheeses/flavors. A d I would recommend stocking a good selection of beans, they're a great source of iron. As far as making a non existent kitchen, you can use a crackpot, with liners, that will work for your Mac and cheese, and any soup, stew, curry(a lot of Indian, and I believe West African cuisine is heavy on the plant based foods, or easily adapted), and when you're done you just pull out the liner. It's not plant based, but I would have a piece of bacon cut in half fried in a baby wok(works as a pan, or pot, great if you don't have space for lots of dishes), with an egg, and put on a piece of toast. That would hold me with a snack through like 8 hours of classes. So focus on foods that are going to stick and last like that in the morning, you can still take your smoothie/greens, but make sure you're getting the energy to survive your classes and not have to crash or buy food out. Good luck with school!
