Afterward, strain vinegar into a clean glass jar and store it in the fridge for up to a year. 2-4 Tbsp daily #saturday #theweekend #firecider #immunebooster #antiinflammatory #digestiveaid #acv #vegan #plantbased #health #wellness #nutrition #thevegswitchup #theplantbasedintrovert https://www.instagram.com/p/CppwYTkOwoO/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

Lunch on the go. Tomato and chickpea salad in an oat & flax pita pocket along with some popcorn made in a popcorn popper for snack. If you pop your popcorn on the stove or in a popper instead of the microwave, you can control the amount of salt or any other ingredients you want to add to it #tuesday #march #nationalnutritionmonth #lunchtime #lunchonthego #vegan #veganfood #plantbased #plantbasedfood #plantbasednutrition #foodie #vegfoodie #thevegswitchup #theplantbasedintrovert #eatyourveggies #sznyourfood https://www.instagram.com/p/Cpf6B2gu6Br/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

Just enjoying my lunch on the go, crumbs on my mouth and all lol. An avocado veggie sandwich on whole wheat bread (avocado, tomato, red onion, cucumber, shaved slices of carrots, arugula, salt, pepper, and oregano to taste and vegan mayo. I also have a bowl of that tomato chickpea salad I made before just in case I’m still hungry in the next few hours. What are you having for lunch today? #wednesday #humpday #avocado #veggiesandwich #vegan #veganrecipes #veganfoodshare #plantbased #plantbasedfood #plantbasednutrition #plantbasedrecipes #foodie #vegfoodie #thevegswitchup #theplantbasedintrovert #eatyourveggies #sznyourfood https://www.instagram.com/p/CoaOjEKOXHo/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

Dinnertime!!!! There’s so many ways to make a stir fry. This one has carrots, broccoli, tofu, bean sprouts, peppers, eggplant and I’m sure I’m missing some other ingredients but, it’s packed with veggies, sauce and seasonings lol. I had this added to my meal prep for the week. If you are allergic to soy, there are other alternatives for tofu such as Pumfu (tofu made from pumpkin seeds) and chickpea tofu. All of it's good either way.

White bean and avocado toast. It has great northern white beans (mashed with oil, lemon juice, and salt and pepper to taste), avocado slices, cucumbers, red onions, and arugula. This is definitely a light, but filling meal that won’t weigh you down during the day.

Late lunch on the go. I’m trying to do better with prepping ahead of time so I’m not out all day hungry or wanting to buy snacks to hold me over. This is a tomato chickpea salad with tomatoes, chickpeas, cucumbers, and red onions with a vinaigrette consisting of juiced lemon, minced garlic, chopped parsley, salt, pepper, and olive oil. Eat up and enjoy #monday #veganuary #lunch #vegan #veganrecipes #plantbased #plantbasedrecipes #veganfoodshare #foodie #vegfoodie #thevegswitchup #theplantbasedintrovert #eatyourveggies #seasonyourfood https://www.instagram.com/p/CnxWKx6O5cn/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

@publix has more vegan friendly subs on their menu. They still have the tofu garlic and herb sub as well as the veggie sub. Now you can get a Meatless Turkey Sub with vegan bacon along with the Tex-Amex Black Bean Burger sub. The Meatless Turkey Sub uses the @unrealdelieatless turkey and @lightlifefoods bacon. The black bean burger is their @publixgreenwisemarket brand. If you don’t see them on the store menu, just ask for it or order ahead online in the Publix app. Also pictured are some lentil chips and avocado hummus. I think they were both pretty good. Much like their other subs, you can add any combination of ingredients to it that they have available. It was also suggested to ask that they heat up the vegan bacon some (or you can just toast the sun as well). I think I found my occasional lunch break food. Try it and let me know what you think. #friday #veganuary #dinnertime #publix #publixdeli #subs #vegan #veganfriendly #plantbased #plantbasedfriendly #foodie #vegdfoodie #thevegswitchup #theplantbasedintrovert #eatyourveggies #sznyourfood https://www.instagram.com/p/CnqVw5kualA/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

Hey hey!!! Just checking in with you. How is your Veganuary going so far? What are your goals? Have you increased your fruit and vegetable intake? Are you trying to go completely plant-based the entire month? Whole Foods plant-based or just cutting back on meat? Trying to accomplish health goals? Do you have any other goals in mind? What do you need help with? Pictured here is my breakfast, a grits bowl with Just Egg, spicy Beyond breakfast sausage, black beans, greens and a side of Morning Star original flavored plant-based pancake and sausage on a stick. I admit that I don’t always get to eat lunch and dinner can be a challenge for me with my busy schedule so I always make time for a big breakfast to start my day. I am definitely a work in progress. Be well everyone. #Thursday #january #newyear #veganuary #breakfast #vegan #veganfood #vegansofig #plantbased #plantbased #plantbasedbreakfast #plantbasedfoodporn #foodie #vegfoodie #thevegswitchup #theplantbasedintrovert #nutritionist #plantbasednutritionist #plantbasednutritioncertified #eatyourveggies #sznyourfood https://www.instagram.com/p/CnUW_4nOR8p/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

What better way to end 2022 than with vegan nachos for dinner? Peppers, onions, tomatoes topped with vegan Korean steak strips. I have a glass of Welches sparkling Rosé to go along with it. Let’s go into 2023 happy, focused, and free. Happy New Year everybody #saturday #newyearseve #happynewyear #nachos #vegan #vegansofig #veganfoodshare #plantbased #plantbasedfoods #foodie #vegfoodie #thevegswitchup #theplantbasedintrovert #eatyourveggies #sznyourfood https://www.instagram.com/p/Cm3BgsPOm7O/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

Leftovers for lunchtime!!! Didn’t want to go around hungry the rest of the afternoon so I made a stop at home. Vegan baked cheese tortellini from Kite Hill (with Beyond Hot Italian sausage, Daiya mozzarella from the cutting board collection, Parmesan from Follow Your Heart, tomatoes and kale) with a side of Field Roast Celebration Roast and some good ole collards. I’m not sure I’m going to make it back to work lol. Have a good one. #wednesday #lunchtime #kitehillfoods #beyondsausage #followyourheartcheese #daiyafoods #vegan #vegansofig #plantbased #plantbasedvegan #plantbasedmeals #foodie #vegfoodie #thevegswitchup #theplantbasedintrovert #eatyourveggies #sznyourfood https://www.instagram.com/p/CmuF-cVuiGc/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

Ok, so who forgot to tell me that Publix expanded their vegan bakery options? I usually walk past the bakery because they usually don’t have anything I can eat. I just happen to walk by and see the sign today and then the manager showed me the cupcakes and cakes. I literally don’t need to eat any of this but if I do decide to indulge in a few sweets, I have options now lol #tuesday #publix #publixbakery #veganpublixfinds #vegan #plantbased #vegansweets #plantbasedsweets #foodie #vegfoodie #thevegswitchup #theplantbasedintrovert https://www.instagram.com/p/CiddnzJuMJo/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

Dinnertime!! I don’t always have the time to make every meal from scratch so I made this quick stove top meal trying out the vegan Korean BBQ flavored plant-based steak by Nasoya. It was on BOGO at Publix last week so I was like why not? It’s pretty delicious. The texture and flavors are spot on. It’s not tough or hard to chew like some alternatives I’ve had in the past. I will say if you are allergic or have an intolerance to soy, you’ll have to skip this one. I’ll see if I can find something similar with the same taste for my soy-free people. Anyways, I hope you all enjoy your holiday weekend.

My oldest don’t care about nothing we eat over here and sticks to his 5 favorite foods. This one right here always trying to steal my plate so he eats what I eat for the most part. The usual breakfast casserole. I’m just missing my avocado because they aren’t ripe yet.

Went to @scoop50fifty ‘s grand opening of their brick and mortar store today in Summerville, SC. We called ahead to see if they had non-dairy options ANNNNND.....they do lol. They were out of some of their non-dairy milk-based ice creams due to an oat milk shortage and the soy flavors were gone but I did get to try two other flavors. The one I ended up getting was the Italian ice raspberry lemonade (I hope I got that right lol). It was delicious and tasted freshly homemade. They did say that more dairy-free options were on the way and they will also get a fresh ice cream scoop upon request to avoid cross-contamination when you order. They stay open late too because....ice cream. Not everyone around me is vegan so it's always nice to have a place to go where there are menu options for ALL of us. Definitely worth checking them out if you haven’t already #saturday #theweekend #funday #summertime #icecream #nicecream #vegan #plantbased #menuoptions #thevegswitchup #theplantbasedintrovert https://www.instagram.com/p/CgYJbZXOAeS/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=
