𝘈𝘳𝘦 𝘺𝘰𝘶 𝘳𝘦𝘨𝘶𝘭𝘢𝘳? 𝘏𝘢𝘩𝘢, 𝘯𝘰𝘸 𝘵𝘩𝘢𝘵’𝘴 𝘢 𝘱𝘦𝘳𝘴𝘰𝘯𝘢𝘭 𝘲𝘶𝘦𝘴𝘵𝘪𝘰𝘯! But, let’s be serious, gut health is important. We gotta feel good to do good and nobody feels good when things are, uh, backed up shall we say. ⁣
⁣
So, I made these bran muffins. {𝘯𝘰𝘵𝘦 𝘢𝘸𝘬𝘸𝘢𝘳𝘥 𝘵𝘳𝘢𝘯𝘴𝘪𝘵𝘪𝘰𝘯 — 𝘢𝘴𝘬𝘪𝘯𝘨 𝘧𝘰𝘳 𝘢 𝘧𝘳𝘪𝘦𝘯𝘥 😃}⁣
⁣

⁣
I plugged the ingredients into an online tool and it 𝘦𝘴𝘵𝘪𝘮𝘢𝘵𝘦𝘥 𝟼 𝘨𝘳𝘢𝘮𝘴 𝘰𝘧 dietary 𝘧𝘪𝘣𝘦𝘳 in each muffin. I think the recommended daily is 25 to 30. ⁣

Hi, hey, how you doin'? 💫 I have yet to do a post like this, but thought now might be a good time (or about time!). Also, I thought it might be helpful or interesting for you to know a bit about me. ⁣
⁣
My name is Sharon and I hail from New York City! ⁣
⁣
1. I’m here to inspire you to live your best life, whether you’re vegan, dipping your toe in the water, or just want to learn more. I’m going to do my best to share recipes, ideas, and information that will help you on your journey! ⁣
2. I’m a @rouxbe Essential Vegan Desserts Course graduate and a Main Street Vegan Academy (founded by @victoriamoranauthor ) Certified Vegan Lifestyle Coach and Educator.⁣
3. I went vegan for the animals 16 years ago after reading the book Skinny Bitch.⁣
4. I am an Auntie to the cutest Boston Terrier @quincythebostonpup He’s changed my life and I love him so much! ⁣
5. I love animals and humans alike. Since animals can’t speak for themselves I want to do everything I can to make sure their "voices" are heard.⁣
6. That’s why I started Big City Vegan on Instagram. There’s also a Big City Vegan blog and online store where you can shop vegan message t-shirts and other merch.⁣
7. Skinny Bitch was the first vegan book I read about going vegan. Eat to Live was the first book about plant-based nutrition I read. And I think the first cookbook I got was More Great Good Dairy-Free Desserts Naturally by @goodcakesfran
8. The first movies about the vegan lifestyle I saw were @vegucated and @forksoverknives ⁣
9. I love to share vegan product finds. I think it’s exciting to see all that’s available today (you too?) and you never know what’s going to be a great addition to your menu. Speaking of menus, I love to share healthy whole foods plant-based recipes, along with some more indulgent ones - to provide something for each of you or so I try! ⁣
10. At heart, I’m a people person, so enough about me. How about you? I’d love to know where you’re at and how I can help you along the way. ⁣
⁣
Cheers!⁣
Sharon⁣

I found these beauties at the Natural Market in Garden City Long Island {pronounced Longuyland} New York.⁠⁠

For optimal health, they say EAT THE RAINBOW🌈 🌈 ⁠⁠
So question: Do shortbread cookies with colored sprinkles count as eating the rainbow? ⁠⁠

⁣
These tortillas already have so much flavor. Even with plain tortillas, the baked crispiness of chips make them just as satisfying. Also, some people prefer less spice. These habanero tortillas are for those of us who enjoy a little heat. ⁣

With a knife, cut them in half, then into quarters, then one more time so you have 8 tortilla pieces⁣

Place them side by side on a parchment-lined baking sheet⁣

Bake at 375°F for about 10-14 minutes (oven temps can vary)⁣

Let them cool and enjoy!!⁣

One of the easiest things I make for lunch all the time is a chickpea salad sandwich. It’s so easy to prepare, very versatile, so good, satisfying, and nutritious!!⁣
⁣
There are so many ways to enjoy chickpea salad. Here we have a classic sandwich with romaine lettuce and micro greens between slices of @daveskillerbread 🧡
⁣
👉🏼 𝙎𝙬𝙞𝙥𝙚 𝙛𝙤𝙧 𝙢𝙤𝙧𝙚 on the ingredients and how to make it. ⁣

Have you had chickpea salad sandwiches? If so, what’s your favorite way to make it? What veggies and spices do you use to make yours?⁣

𝗔𝗿𝗲 𝘆𝗼𝘂 𝗶𝗻 𝗻𝗲𝗲𝗱 𝗼𝗳 𝗮 𝘀𝘂𝗽𝗲𝗿 𝗵𝗲𝗮𝗹𝘁𝗵𝘆, 𝗱𝗲𝗹𝗶𝗰𝗶𝗼𝘂𝘀, 𝗿𝗲𝗳𝗿𝗲𝘀𝗵𝗶𝗻𝗴, 𝗲𝗮𝘀𝘆, 𝗮𝗻𝗱 𝘀𝗮𝘁𝗶𝗮𝘁𝗶𝗻𝗴 𝗺𝗲𝗮𝗹? Well, here’s one of my favorite go-tos! And, it’s a collaboration with my mom, so that makes it extra special to me! I share more on that below. ⁣
⁣
𝗧𝗵𝗶𝘀 𝗱𝗶𝘀𝗵 𝗵𝗮𝘀 𝗮𝗹𝗹 𝘁𝗵𝗼𝘀𝗲 𝗼𝗹𝗱 𝘀𝗰𝗵𝗼𝗼𝗹 𝘃𝗲𝗴𝗮𝗻 𝘃𝗶𝗯𝗲𝘀. It’s just a bowl of fresh veggies (mini tri-color peppers), kale, black beans (straight outta the can), some raw corn, a mildly spicy green pepper, salsa, finely cut mango, and a lot (I mean a lot) of fresh squeezed lime juice. ⁣
⁣
𝗧𝗵𝗲 𝘀𝗽𝗶𝗰𝗲 𝗳𝗿𝗼𝗺 𝘁𝗵𝗲 𝘀𝗮𝗹𝘀𝗮 𝗮𝗻𝗱 𝗽𝗲𝗽𝗽𝗲𝗿 𝘄𝗶𝘁𝗵 𝗮𝗹𝗹 𝘁𝗵𝗮𝘁 𝗹𝗶𝗺𝗲 𝗷𝘂𝗶𝗰𝗲 𝗮𝗻𝗱 𝘁𝗵𝗲 𝘀𝘄𝗲𝗲𝘁 𝗳𝗿𝗼𝗺 𝘁𝗵𝗲 𝗺𝗮𝗻𝗴𝗼 𝗶𝘀 𝗷𝘂𝘀𝘁 𝘀𝗼 𝗴𝗼𝗼𝗱! Oil free, sugar free, and mostly salt free. There’s some salt in the salsa, but that is it. ⁣
⁣
𝗪𝗵𝗮𝘁’𝘀 𝘆𝗼𝘂𝗿 𝗳𝗮𝘃𝗼𝗿𝗶𝘁𝗲 𝗯𝗼𝘄𝗹 𝗰𝗼𝗺𝗯𝗼? ⁣
⁣
𝗧𝗶𝗽: For me, a fine dice is key. This way you get all the flavors in each bite, making for a truly delightful eating experience! :) ⁣
⁣
➡️ Swipe for more pics. ⁣
⁣
Also, the salsa is from @gardenfreshgourmet and it’s the best salsa! ⁣
⁣
Ok, and here’s where my mom comes in. She’s an artist and made all these beautiful ceramic pieces including plates, bowls, mugs, and big serving dishes. I love that I have them because I love her so much and it’s just so special to get to feature them in my food photography! Now that’s how we serve up double the love! Yay Mom!!🧡⁣
