Strawberry Ginger Chia Seed Pudding (Choosing Raw)
chia seed puddings—one of my quickest, easiest, and most beloved breakfasts. This week, I decided to make my first chia pudding of the year a new recipe. Strawberry and ginger may sound like an odd combo together, but it’s actually one of my favorites: I often add a small bit of ginger to my strawberry banana smoothies. from the blog choosing raw
Peanut Butter & Chips Granola from have cake, will travel
(from havecakewilltravel's blog post) "call me Idéfix if you have to… I know that between the granola making and other peanut butter-centered recipes, you’d be entitled to. hear me out, though: it will be especially good for those of you who might dislike the type of granola that’s got sharp edges and shows an amazing lack of respect for sensitive gums. not that this one here is soft by any means, who would want that anyway? let’s just say that there’s no harshness involved here to keep you from gobbling up the whole batch in two seconds flat. the whole idea is again to make life just a bit more interesting and mouths full of cavities by throwing some of your favorite chips in there: butterscotch (you can find the vegan version at Price Chopper), white chocolate (check out Cosmo’s Vegan Shoppe or Food Fight for these), semisweet chocolate, carob…we don’t discriminate, and neither should you."

Baked Vegan Okonomiyaki
okonomiyaki is a japanese pancake or pizza like item made up of cabbage, protein items such as shrimp or beef, a binder like egg, flour, and seasoning. a vegan version would replace the egg with a different binder and forgo the meat. i've gotten that down pat, but i wanted to make it easier on the clock- so i baked it!
Daily Green Monster Smoothie
a smoothie recipe based on a recipe from oh she glows, a vegan blog. a great energizer and meal replacement for any time of day. since i have a small appetite, i usually can only drink half of the normal recipe, so i use half a banana, half the protein, but with more berries and the regular amount of chia.
