breakfast

Welcome to the first page of my recipes!! I am not putting any bullshit on here thats hard to make. Mostly all of the ingredients are cheap, common household items, and can be found at any grocery store. My goal for this page is for you to be able to glance over it and be able to easily make yourself food.

Starter pack for vegan breakfast I ALWAYS buy:

1. Bananas
2. Frozen fruit
3. Unsweetened peanut butter
4. Rolled oats
5. Cocoa powder
6. Maple syrup
7. Protein powder (I use the Garden of Life brand)
8. Your favorite non dairy milk
9. Some bread to stick in the freezer and save for when you’re really craving it

If you’re looking for an easy way to start making fast healthy breakfasts, this grocery list is perfect. You can make so many things out of just these items, then start to add on as you figure out what you like.

THE breakfast bowl

Oatmeal

Add plain quick oats (you can get huge bags of quick oats for really cheap at almost any grocery store) into a bowl with your favorite non-dairy milk and microwave to the consistency you prefer. I add a wide variety of toppings to my oats depending on how I am feeling.

Chocolate: add a dash of maple syrup and a heaping spoonful of cocoa powder to cooked oats (sometimes I will also add dairy free chocolate chips on top too). Add banana slices too if you’re feeling it.

Cinnamon: add a dash of maple syrup and small spoonful of cinnamon

Frozen berries: add these on top after heating up your oats. Goes well with cinnamon, chocolate, maple syrup, or a combination of these!

Toast

Smoothies

You can get pretty creative with smoothies, I usually don’t follow any recipes and just go with the flow of what I am feelings. There are a few main themes I tend to stick to when making smoothies. Either a blueberry + greens, chocolate + banana, mango, or green smoothie.

Two things to note about the methodology of how I make my smoothies.

1. If you do not have a powerful blender, but still want a thick smoothie, add half a frozen banana, and half a regular thawed banana. Doing this will make it so that your smoothie is still a thick ice cream consistency, but you won’t have to add so much liquid for it to blend. If you add a lot of frozen banana with a weak blender, the blender can’t handle it. This means you have to thin the smoothie down with more liquid. A thin smoothie is sad we don’t want that.
2. I NEVER add ice. I don’t really like the consistency of adding ice, or how it waters the smoothie down.

Mango

• Half cup of frozen mango chunks
• Frozen banana
• Vanilla protein powder
• Spoonful of peanut/almond butter
• Just enough non dairy milk to blend

Pancakes

From a box

Buy any gluten free vegan pancake mix! Substitute the egg for a flax seed egg, and the milk for non dairy milk. I got my mix off the website Brandless because it was super cheap. You can also find mixed at most grocery stores. Here are the results of my make shift vegan pancakes from a mix!!

Buying a gluten free vegan pancake mix is always a good move, but you can still have easy pancakes without buying a mix. They’re SO easy, and you really do not need to be specific with the measurements.
