Greetings Dear Souls!!

It's been many moons since I've posted a recipe and I thought what better way than to start with my favorite components for any recipe - simple & nutritious. These sunshine breakfast bowls never cease to please. 

Hi sweet friends and family!

Today I have a special treat. A Chocolate Peanut Butter Protein Shake that is beaming with plant-based protein. I am a very active woman and love to shake it, move it, stretch it, walk and move a lot so I need to ensure I have plenty of energy to keep going. Protein shakes are a quick, easy and effective way to get the nutrition needed without taking too much time. This recipe has few ingredients so you can make it easily at home and have it taste like a treat while doing so. Win, win! 

Sometimes you want something hearty and savory in the morning. This breakfast fits the bill. My favorite scrambled egg recipe, vegan mozzarella cheese, potatoes and a muffin. Yes, please! Fuel your day with nourishing food that is good for your body and tastes delicious. Muffins, Eggs, Cheese & Potatoes. Get the Muffin Recipe here. Add avocado, greens or a protein smoothie for extra oomph and alkalinity. 

Rice Pudding is sweetened with whole-food ingredients like dates, ripe bananas and raisins. The essence of ginger, cinnamon, vanilla and coconut milk with toppings like mango create a sensational treat. My husband loves this variety, it's so creamy you'd never know it was vegan. Have this for breakfast, dessert or as desired. Mix and match the toppings and fillings for unique experiences. Most of all, enjoy! 

Rice Pudding is becoming a new favorite around our house. It's delicious and a fun alternative to oatmeal or a delicious dessert. This is a simple classic rice pudding recipe with plant-based touches that nobody will know about. It's creamy, tasty and filling. Adapt it with different flavors and toppings. Enjoy!! 

Moist blueberry muffins are complimented with the sweetness of ripe bananas, fall spices, vanilla and our gem ingredient - lemon zest. The lemon brings the muffins to life! I grabbed it on a last minute whim and boy am I so glad I did. It's amazing. Next level!! We'll be using coconut sugar to keep the glycemic index low and much less than a standard muffin. You can choose to use oil or go oil-free. The batter features oats and oat flour to keep things simple. Enjoy these anytime of day. We sure did. Happy baking my friends! With love, Christa 

I just love tofu scramble! There are so many different ways to make it and this is one of many. You can whip this up in no time, add a variety of vegetables, herbs and spices, serve it with fresh veggies and a tortilla for a taco. It's so dang good. Enjoy! 

Oats, bananas, cinnamon and dates cook together creating a naturally sweet base. Chia seeds offer a boost of health and warm berries on top give you the antioxidants your body needs while offering a gorgeous and satisfying touch. Pecans add protein and a nice crunch. Enjoy these new Banana Berry Oatmeal Bowls! See how to make them in a new What I Eat in a Day on YouTube!

This is an easy DIY vegan yogurt alternative, cultured coconut cream. A light, airy dreamy source of probiotics for a healthy and happy body. The fact that you can have it so quickly makes it a desirable recipe. With few ingredients and not nearly as much time as most DIY yogurt recipes, you may adore this new recipe. Mix, refrigerate and enjoy. That's it! Get the recipe below.

Having a granola around the home creates a wonderful snack opportunity and breakfast option.
