I’m finallyyy getting back to my regular routine.

We got back from our Halloween on the High Seas Disney cruise a few weeks ago and it took me longer than I expected to edit all of our daily cruise vlogs for Youtube. I wanted to get those videos done first and out of the way so I could jump back into sharing more vegan recipes with you!

Watch our Halloween on the High Seas Disney cruise vacation videos here!

I have a bunch of recipes to share that I’ve been working on over the last few weeks but I thought this vegan lasagna would be the perfect recipe to share first! When I finally got out of the Disney cruise withdrawal phase (yes, it’s totally a real thing!) and started cooking again, this delicious vegan lasagna is the first meal that I made!

Ya know, I never used to really like smoothies.

Why? Because I was doing it wrong!

I bet you’re thinking, “you can’t mess up a smoothie recipe, it’s too easy!”

Well, let me tell you.

I was blending a handful of greens with a handful of fruit and using water as a mixer and no frozen fruit! What was I thinking?

My smoothies turned out room temperature, watered down, and they were usually gray. I didn’t understand what people liked about them!?

Easy Smoothie Recipe Tips

I kept playing around with different variations and I started to notice that the smoothies that I really liked and enjoyed drinking were creamy smoothies that followed a flavor profile: fruity, green, chocolate, vanilla, etc. Not just a bunch of random ingredients thrown together with water as a mixer. It doesn’t work when you just put in a little bit of everything, hit the blend button, and cross your fingers.

If you use fruits that taste good together + follow the tips below, your smoothie will turn out delicious!

Make it easy on yourself, buy bulk bags of frozen organic fruit (Costco is my go-to place to get a good deal on organic frozen fruit– my vegan Costco shopping list has all the fruit prices) to use for your smoothies.
Don’t use water as the liquid component, creamy nut or plant milk makes it taste so much better! Trust!
If you come across a smoothie recipe that calls for orange juice, substitute plant milk. Orange juice is loaded with sugar and you’re already getting plenty of natural sugar from the fruit.
Smoothies need a creamy ingredient, I prefer bananas, or almond butter…sometimes both!
Don’t add ice to make it cold, it just waters the smoothie down. Use frozen fruit instead.
Use a high-powered blender to make super smooth and creamy smoothies. You don’t want a gritty smoothie, it’s just wrong! (Read the next section to see which blender that I think is the best smoothie maker.)

Easy Vegan Breakfast: Superfood Stone Fruit Rawnola Bowls

March 14, 2018 by Stacey Homemaker 4 Comments

Rawnola is a delicious, quick and easy vegan breakfast that’s loaded with healthy fats, probiotics, antioxidants, fiber, protein, and it’s naturally sweet! Vegan, gluten-free.

Thank you to Mariani for sponsoring today’s healthy recipe post! My opinions are always 100% honest, thank you for supporting the brands that I love and use daily.

I loveee an easy vegan breakfast that I can get on the table quick.

I just don’t have time in the morning to make complicated meals and I’m definitely not getting up any earlier so I can cook!

My go-to super fast breakfast is avocado toast, my version has 26 grams of protein so it’s a great way to start the morning. On cold days, I switch it up with a big bowl of warm oatmeal that’s piled high with bananas, pecans, blueberries, and maple syrup.

For some strange reason, my husband doesn’t like oatmeal! Weird, right? So, he starts to grumble when he sees me pull out my big jar of oats from the pantry. He’ll eat it but he’s not happy about it.

I’ve been trying to come up with another easy vegan breakfast that both of us would enjoy. One that I could rotate with avocado toast and one that would still be appealing during the heat of a Florida summer.
