What I absolutely love about vegan cooking is that you’re prompted to think outside the box. You learn all the cool functions of plant-based ingredients that can suffice or even exceed the original properties of non-vegan recipes! 🧀🍗🥚👍 One prime example is this plethora of vegan pastas made by the kitchen team of the @cpfoodscienceclub: here we have vegan mac n’ cheese and vegan and gluten free kale pesto pasta with sun-dried tomatoes and olives! Both of these dishes were superb and I can’t really decide which one I liked better! 😋🥗🍅💛❤️💚 Personally, I haven’t been too crazy about pasta, but now I want to explore all kinds of pasta dishes! Vegan fettuccine Alfredo, sweet potato gnocchi, butternut squash risotto, vegan meat sauce with spaghetti.......okay I’ll just dream of a giant bowl of carbs now 🤤🍝🍜🍲🥣 #superfitbabe #spooncalpoly #health #diet #nutrition #bestlifeproject #vegan #glutenfree #plantbased #wslf #hclf #rawtill4 #pegan #calpolyyogaclub #cpcampusdining #ethicaleatingcp #slofoodies #sloveganguide #cpfoodscienceclub (at San Luis Obispo, California)

It’s been a hot minute since I’ve had pizza...but can you really resist pizza? While the red marinara pizza is the only explicitly vegan option at the @midici restaurant near me, it’s absolutely fantastic. 😍🍕❤️ There was also a house salad of mixed greens and cherry tomatoes in a balsamic vinaigrette (sans cheese), because health, you know? 🥗 Also, I’ve been taking the most days off of the gym in the longest time. So far it’s been two days without working out and I haven’t noticed a huge difference in energy levels and physical composition. I’m looking forward to exercising regularly again, but I’m also loving this rest period since I’ve been moving around like crazy! 😂😅🏋🏻‍♀️🤸🏻‍♀️🏃🏻‍♀️ #superfitbabe #health #diet #nutrition #bestlifeproject #vegan #glutenfriendly #plantbased #wslf #hclf #rawtill4 #pegan #midici (at MidiCi The Neapolitan Pizza Company)

Today, I decided to go makeup free, both because I had no time to do so and there’s really no point in applying makeup to go out only once for a final exam and then come home to remove it all. 👁💄 I was curious to see if people would treat me differently, especially those I don’t see very often. Somewhat surprisingly, everybody treated me the same way. 🤷🏻‍♀️ I’m really grateful to be surrounded by people who look beyond the surface and don’t think twice about judging someone based on exterior. Sure, I might not have looked as presentable, but I realize that it’s absolutely fine to choose to be a little lazy with your appearance! Ultimately, you have to dress to impress YOURSELF and not others. 👍💃🏻 I personally think I look better with makeup, but there’s not such a huge difference. I still try to love myself either way, and if you wear makeup regularly, you should too! ☺️💞 Pictured is a bowl of cauliflower spinach rice with a @boca.burger vegan veggie patty: basically how I make vegetables taste good! I like to season my vegetables with tons of spices, a little salt, Sriracha, and sometimes I get fancy and use lemon juice, tamari, or nutritional yeast! 🍚🥗🌿 Lately I’ve been eating this for dinner every night and it seriously hits the spot. In general, I’m not super hungry at night so my dinners aren’t that big, but I always save room for dessert. And that’s usually chocolate and peanut butter! 🍫🥜😜 #superfitbabe #spooncalpoly #health #diet #nutrition #bestlifeproject #vegan #glutenfree #plantbased #wslf #hclf #rawtill4 #pegan #calpolyyogaclub #cpcampusdining #ethicaleatingcp #slofoodies #sloveganguide #cpfoodscienceclub (at San Luis Obispo, California)

Here’s a quick little rant: don’t you just loathe those skinny rubber bands that snap within first use, this resorting you to tie the ends together to reform its shape, and then not being able to secure as tight of a ponytail as you potentially could? IT’S THE WORST. 😡🙄🤦🏻‍♀️ But anyways, I’ve finally been carving a little more time into my gym sessions to take more fitness-related photos, because I find it odd that my Instagram handle is @superfitbabe, but my feed is predominantly food. It’s almost like clickbait for Instagram! 😂 I guess the reason why I don’t post a lot of shots like this is that I don’t look like most female fitness gurus out there who have very distinctive proportions (won’t name anybody—I’m sure you already know who). But what does that really mean? That we’re different. Simple as that. 🤷🏻‍♀️ As of now, I’m so happy with how I look and, more importantly, feel and perform on a daily basis. That’s what health and fitness are all about, not about physical aesthetics and measurements. So yeah, if we can keep body shaming and comparisons to a minimum, that’d be great. 👍💛✨ #superfitbabe #health #fitness #lululemon #calpolyrec #calpolyreccenter (at San Luis Obispo, California)

Since there’s no exciting meal for me to post of today, I thought I’d share some more close-ups of my first ever milkshake from @mamaganachechocolate that I enjoyed with @kaaatherinediaz last Saturday! My original picture got more likes than I anticipated, but I still don’t think a far shot of these milkshakes do them justice. 🍫🍦🤪💕 Inside these glasses of glorified heaven are gigantic scoops of @coconutbliss vanilla ice cream with EXTRA dark chocolate, and this isn’t counting what’s been drizzled and garnished. I wouldn’t be surprised if I walk all the way from my apartment to the chocolate shop for a full milkshake. That miiiiiight happen! 😏 Like I said in my previous post, this was indeed the first milkshake I’ve ever tried in my life. Prior to this moment, I’ve never enjoyed any kind of milkshake! Other desserts I haven’t tried: pizookies, anything Boston Creme, strudel, non-Thanksgiving pie (except for sweet potato pie—I’ve never had that), dessert pizza, Dulce de leche, pavlova, crumpets, cannoli, German chocolate cake, Devil’s Food cake, Scotcheroos, and most types of pudding. Weird because I was a pretty unhealthy child with a loaded sweet tooth! Guess I’ll have to try a lot of new foods to enjoy some more experiences then... 😉 #superfitbabe #spooncalpoly #health #diet #nutrition #bestlifeproject #vegan #glutenfree #plantbased #mamaganachechocolate #mamaganache #rawtill4 #pegan #calpolyyogaclub #cpcampusdining #ethicaleatingcp #slofoodies #sloveganguide #cpfoodscienceclub (at Mama Ganache Artisan Chocolates)

Today is National Peanut Butter Day, so what could be more appropriate then enjoying peanut butter? 🥜 Mixing @peanutbutterco flax and chia powdered peanut butter with the @truenutrition vegan chocolate fudge protein and @almondbreeze unsweetened almond milk was probably the best decision of the day. Aside from pairing it with @arrowheadmills puffed kamut, corn puffs, @bobsredmill ground flax seed, roasted kabocha squash, Sriracha ketchup, and a @healthwarrior dark chocolate cherry chia bar, of course! 🍫🥣🍒 Lately I’ve been making a HUGE effort to walk more—been getting in 13K-20K steps a day, which is easy since I walk to my workplace and my classes all the time! On the weekends, I like walking to the grocery store instead of Ubering there (so expensive ughhhhh 💲🙄). Overall, I’ve been feeling ten times better in terms of energy. It’s almost like hiking everyday! 🚶🏻‍♀️🌳 #superfitbabe #spooncalpoly #health #diet #nutrition #bestlifeproject #vegan #glutenfree #plantbased #wslf #hclf #hflc #rawtill4 #pegan #calpolyyogaclub #cpcampusdining #ethicaleatingcp #slofoodies #sloveganguide #cpfoodscienceclub #healthwarrioramb #nationalpeanutbutterday (at San Luis Obispo, California)

After looking at pictures all over Instagram about @trueberry_jp, I knew I had to visit at least once. Today was the perfect opportunity since I returned to the Shibuya-Harajuku areas for the day! 💚💛 The bulk of my linner/dunch (?) consisted of tomato soup, sticky mixed whole grain rice, and nori rolls with romaine, carrots, pickled beets, radish, avocado, vegan Parmesan, tomato, chili, and a sour plum sauce! This was probably one of the healthiest yet most refreshing and satisfying meals I’ve had on the trip thus far! 👍👅🥑🍅🥒🥕🍘🍲 #superfitbabe #health #diet #nutrition #bestlifeproject #vegan #glutenfree #plantbased #wslf #hclf #rawtill4 #pegan #trueberry #trueberry表参道 #tokyo #japan #harajuku #shibuya (at Trueberry 表参道)

Even though I already had loads of Indian food last Friday, I’m still not quite sick of it! 😂👍 I swear, so many items at @wholefoods are splurges, but for the most part, they are worth the investments! Some leftover roti from the @spiceaffairla paired perfectly with the aloo matar, madras curry, and dal saag with steamed veggies and spinach underneath! Lately I’ve been eating my food with chopsticks to savor everything more slowly as well. It works like a charm! 🥗🥔🥦🍆🍅🥕🌶🌿 #superfitbabe #health #diet #nutrition #bestlifeproject #vegan #glutenfree #plantbased #wslf #hclf #rawtill4 #pegan #glutenfriendly #wholefoods #spiceaffair #fashionisland (at Whole Foods Market)
