Thinking about my favorite candy bar, Tom Bumble from @oregonbark 💫 The peanut buttery flakey bar is reminiscent of a butterfinger, my fave pre-vegan candy bar. These are SO much better though, next level & VEGAN with a simple short list of organic ingredients. ⁣
⁣
I always pick up a 4 pack from the awesome all vegan bodega grocery + deli sandwiches + soft serve ice cream hot spot, @orchardgrocer in NYC. I love going there as much to shop as to see the abundance of all vegan products all in one place. Plus they always have things there that you can’t find in mainstream markets (yet ;))⁣
⁣
I always loved gallivanting around the city. What are you looking forward to doing again in the outside world post quarantine?⁣

Whipped Urban Dessert Lab @urbandessertlab is the World’s 1st OAT MILK SOFT SERVE Shop!! ⁣⁣
⁣⁣
I was lucky enough to make it there last Saturday. Now as we are all dealing with the coronavirus pandemic, along with so many shops in New York City and around the country, the shop is temporarily closed. However, according to their tweet yesterday, they will offer delivery and take-out options soon, so stay tuned! ⁣⁣
⁣⁣
When we are back to normal, someday soon I hope, this is a bucket list destination not to be missed! ⁣⁣
⁣⁣
Whipped - Urban Dessert Lab oat milk soft serve is plant based all vegan and is now my favorite soft serve ice cream experience on the planet!⁣⁣
⁣⁣
Here’s what I love, in no particular order. ⁣⁣
⁣⁣
1. The base ingredients for this delicious soft serve are few: ⁣ * Oats ⁣ * Cane sugar⁣ * Water⁣⁣
2. The small cup, just the oat milk ice cream soft serve part, is about 200 calories!⁣⁣
3. All of their toppings are made in-house AND the rainbow sprinkles are off the chain!!⁣⁣
4. They pack on the crumb toppings on like a boss!⁣⁣
5. As if all of this wasn’t enough, there’s one more thing. The toppings go on top AND on the bottom!!⁣⁣
6. The base soft serve ice cream and many of the toppings are gluten free as well. ⁣⁣
⁣⁣
They have a menu of combos you can choose from or you can build your own.⁣⁣
⁣⁣
Here’s what we got: ⁣⁣
⁣⁣
🍦Sweet creme soft serve with strawberry drizzle &⁣⁣
rainbow sprinkles! 🌈 ⁣⁣
⁣⁣
🍦Chocolate soft serve with chocolate crumbs & chocolate drizzle 🍫 ⁣⁣

Chocolate or Art? ⁣
⁣
I think both. ⁣
⁣
This maple caramel chocolate is from @confectionerynyc in the east village. Their chocolates and macarons are as beautiful as they are delicious. They also have pastries, cookies, and hot chocolate. Confectionary NYC is a super cute shop you should definitely check out. All vegan too! ⁣ ⁣

Sometimes a sandwich is just the perfect meal. On this sandwich, I have plant-based tuna from @goodcatchfoods , arugula, mustard, a splash of lemon, and some thousand island dressing. The sprouted grain bread is from @foodforlifebaking . What’s on your plate today this #meatlessmonday? ⁣
⁣
🌱 P.s. This sandwich has a whopping 24 grams of protein... 10 from the bread and 14 from the tuna.⁣
⁣
🐠 Have any of you tried @goodcatchfoods plant-based tuna? ⁣

VEGAN PASTRY EXTRAVAGANZA! is LIT 🔥 at @termsofendearmentbk in Brooklyn! Yo, BK in the house! Manhattan vs. Brooklyn - ok, so this bout you win. Heck, we are all winning. NYC is like Vegan Disneyland. Exhibit A: Terms of Endearment. ⁣
⁣
🥮 So when it comes to croissants do you favor savory or sweet? ⁣
⁣
🍪 Fortunately, at TOE you can have have both and such a variety of each. PLUS they have a full lunch/afternoon/early evening menu. Currently, they close at 7pm, but, perhaps, fingers crossed, they will extend operations to later in the evening. ⁣
⁣
👉🏽Swipe right for pics of more croissants, treats like the cinnamon bun with cream cheese frosting, and the extended menu. ⁣

Are you a fan of having breakfast for dinner? Pancakes and smoothie bowls top my short list of breakfasts for dinner. Quite frankly, there’s really no bad time to have pancakes or a smoothie bowl, right!?!!⁣
⁣
🌱 This bowl is a mashup of hearty steel cut oats + smoothie. With toppings like chopped dates, chia seeds, goji berries, coconut, and bananas, this bowl makes for a nutrition packed, delicious, and satisfying meal. ⁣
⁣
🌱 Pro Tips⁣
1. Keep frozen bananas 🍌 and berries 🍓 in your freezer so you’ll be smoothie ready anytime. ⁣
2. Toppings add texture, chewing satisfaction, and nutrition so top away! ⁣
3. Mix up your oats. If you always have old fashioned rolled oats, try steel cut oats. They take a bit longer to cook, but their nutty flavor and chewy texture make it worth the wait.⁣
4. Sweeten smoothies with a date or two. ⁣
5. Drizzle with a nut or seed butter. You can make this bowl as light or as hearty a meal as you like. ⁣
⁣
🌱 What’s your favorite breakfast for dinner meal?

Happy MEATLESS MONDAY! 😀 Looking for meatless meal inspiration? ⁣
⁣
🌱 I love to have this kind of a meal every day. It’s hearty, satiating, nutritious and easy to put together.⁣
⁣
lots of leafy greens⁣
baked marinated tofu & eggplant
brown rice or a grain or 1/2 a burrito
dressing⁣
pumpkin seeds⁣
nooch aka nutritional yeast⁣
⁣
🌱 What makes this meal easy? ⁣
⁣
1. Having the components on hand - hello meal prep Sundays. I made a bunch of tofu and eggplant in my air fryer yesterday so I had lots of good leftovers. ⁣
2. Keeping pre-washed greens in the fridge. This shortcut is key for me. ⁣
3. A good dressing. I love @traderjoes Almond butter turmeric salad dressing. ⁣
4. Having crunchy and flavorful toppings on hand, like the nooch and pumpkin seeds. ⁣
⁣
🌱 Typically, instead of the burrito, I would have a grain but I had the burrito handy so went with that. ⁣
⁣
🌱 Do you have any tips for pulling together a hearty meatless meal in no time?
