Many of you know that I can’t have caffeine in any way, shape, or form. It gives me the major jitters, causes bad insomnia, & gives me terrible cystic acne. Caffeine sensitivity is often genetic. Everyone in my family has to at least limit their caffeine. My husband & his family, on the other hand, can drink coffee all day long up until minutes before going to sleep & then sleep soundly. He jokes that his grandmother used to keep a pot of coffee by her bedside. That being said, the flavor I miss the most is chocolate. Enter carob! Carob is part of the legume family & has a very similar taste! It is by far the best chocolate substitute out there. This morning I made some “chocolate”-strawberry oats: ▪️ 1/2 cup quick oats ▪️ 1 cup water ▪️ 1 tablespoon @nutiva chia seeds ▪️ 2 heaping tablespoons @australiancarobcompany carob powder ▪️ Strawberries ▪️ Sweetener of your choice (I used a bit of coconut sugar) #oats #carob #fruit #strawberries #oatmeal #nutrition #foodstagram #healthysnack #food #healthy #healthyfood #healthyliving #healthylifestyle #breakfast #healthybreakfast #foodphotography #onthetable #feedfeed #food52 #foodie #organic #plants #flowers #glutenfree #porridge #australiancarobs #instafood #strawberry #fitness #healthymeals

Luckily I buy my oats in bulk, so once all the panic-buying began I was already set! I hope you all have the supplies you need for this time of quarantine! Choose foods that bolster your immune system, & make sure you fact-check any immunity articles about fighting the virus. There’s a lot of misinformation out there! Who’s been having lots of cozy oats while stuck indoors? #oats #banana #fruit #bananas #oatmeal #nutrition #foodstagram #healthysnack #food #healthy #healthyfood #healthyliving #healthylifestyle #breakfast #healthybreakfast #foodphotography #onthetable #feedfeed #food52 #foodie #organic #plants #flowers #glutenfree #porridge #nutbutter #instafood #peanutbutter #fitness #healthymeals

I hope you don’t have cabin fever yet! My husband & I have been joking about who is going to get sick of the other one first now that we’re both working from home 😉 In all seriousness, I hope you all are doing well in these unprecedented times. If you’re like many of us & found nothing but empty shelves at your local groceries, perhaps you are with me in keeping meals extra simple. Cheers to this extra shelf-stable yet tasty breakfast or snack: ▪️ 2 organic rice cakes ▪️ 4 tablespoons @bettylousinc powdered peanut butter ▪️ 1 tablespoon @nutiva chia seeds swirled in How have your meals been changing since the social distancing & the food hoarding began? #chiaseeds #ricecakes #socialdistancing #coronavirus #vegan #nutrition #foodstagram #healthysnack #food #healthy #healthyfood #healthyliving #healthylifestyle #breakfast #healthybreakfast #foodphotography #onthetable #feedfeed #food52 #foodie #organic #plants #flowers #glutenfree #protein #veganfood #instafood #peanutbutter #fitness #healthymeals

Great news for anyone else with nut allergies! I’ve never in my life seen a paleo granola that doesn’t have almonds, cashews, etc. I recently discovered @stevespaleo Coconut & Seeds granola! It’s grain-free & the only ingredients are Pumpkin Seeds, Coconut, Sunflower Seeds, Figs, Honey, Coconut Oil, Baking Soda, Vanilla, & Sea Salt! I’ve been mixing mine with @stonyfield yogurt, & sometimes I’ll toss in some chia seeds & strawberries! It’s been my go-to breakfast this last week. Anyone else out there with nut allergies who knows the granola struggle? 😉 #paleo #seeds #coconut #yogurt #greekyogurt #nutrition #foodstagram #healthysnack #food #healthy #healthyfood #healthyliving #healthylifestyle #breakfast #healthybreakfast #foodphotography #onthetable #feedfeed #food52 #foodie #organic #plants #flowers #healthyfats #protein #probiotics #instafood #granola #fitness #healthymeals

I try not to work on the weekends, but this Saturday was a long one...on the job until 10:30pm & skipping dinner. I came home & needed something quick. It was time to bring back @annieshomegrown vegan gluten free mac & cheese! Nothing feels worse than running on empty, but this was a perfect “midnight” dinner/snack while I put my feet up after a long evening. What’s your favorite late night meal/snack? #vegan #veganfood #feedfeed #food52 #pasta #fit #fitnessmotivation #fitness #healthy #healthyfood #carbs #organic #healthymeals #food #healthylifestyle #foodstagram #foodphotography #foodglooby #glutenfree #cooking #onthetable #photographer #macandcheese #nutrition #plantbased #floral #flowers #plants #healthysnack #bestofvegan

My job requires that I sit at a computer for 8+ hours a day most days (usually more). It’s because of this that I’ve really started to make more of an effort with fitness in 2020! Granted, I’m still very much a beginner. However, progress is progress right? 😊 This high protein breakfast is the definition of simple & great for building those muscles: ▪️ @stonyfield Plain Greek Yogurt ▪️ @cascadianfarm Oats & Honey granola ▪️ @nutiva Chia Seeds▪️ @driscollsberry Strawberries 🍓 Who else out there has a sedentary job? How do you keep yourself sane? #strawberries #strawberry #fruit #yogurt #greekyogurt #nutrition #foodstagram #healthysnack #food #healthy #healthyfood #healthyliving #healthylifestyle #breakfast #healthybreakfast #foodphotography #onthetable #feedfeed #food52 #foodie #organic #plants #flowers #oats #protein #probiotics #instafood #granola #fitness #healthymeals
