    Mexican Rice Bowls!
    Rice, beans, salsa, soyrizo, and sometimes vegan cheese!
    I find Mexican food the cheapest and easiest to make.

    For lunch.... everything microwaved....two tofu pups heated separately, then I warm corn tortillas with orange American cheese melted on it with Siracha and ketchup and then I roll up all of it into special delicious rolls and possibly some low salt potato chips and a kombucha, your cookbook would be loved and cherished if I were to be gifted it, but even if I don’t get gifted the cookbook, I love your channel still the same! ❤️Thanks for the great content and all the hard work that goes into your channel, I see you😍👏🏼! ❤️Kathy

    Hi Candice! I typically use my work lunches to get most of my leafy greens in for the day so it's usually a giant salad with lots of nuts, seeds and balsamic vinegar. Then I at least feel balanced no matter what we end up getting for supper. My husband and son get sent with all the leftovers from the night before. I'm a new subscriber and new to the plant based lifestyle, your videos have been ground breaking for me and have really helped make the transition pretty seamless. We're eating healthier but still getting the satisfaction of the occasional indulgent meal. Thanks for the inspiration!

    Been trying a few of your recipes and I have yet to be disappointed! This one is no different! Thanks for the ideas.

    I'm currently a fulltime student and I'm working, so quick meal prep that last several days is my current thing.
    Curries, lasagna soup, quinoa bowls, or pasta dishes are my go-to for work days. Filling and warm! I live in Saskatchewan and with spring around the corner I'll be getting into more fresh veggies in wraps and sandwiches paired with homemade soups. Yum!
    Love your channel and would love the chance to get my hands on your cookbook! 😊 Thank you for all you do!

    I usually eat my favorite oatmeal for breakfast (boiled with almond milk and cinnamon sticks then with agave, chia seeds, and flaxseeds then topped in a bowl with some fruits, pumpkin seeds and cacao nibs), then some kind of veggie wrap for lunch and dinner changes according to what I have at home to cook. Love this video!

  • @CassieTranthesuperfitbabe

    I used to believe food bloggers always ate super fancy and expensive meals, but I was totally wrong after watching more of these types of videos! Intermittent fasting is also a favorite of mine because I like working out fasted (plus I've been sleeping in more quite often, LOL) and focusing on other tasks in the morning instead of food. I love eating vegan protein shakes, sweet potatoes, vegetable tikka masala, mixed nuts, Health Warrior chia bars, and 72-77% dark chocolate!

    You are absolutely shining in this video ! Love your look too !
    Usually when I have to take my lunch at work, I do a "crudité" salad : I throw a bunch of raw veggies (those days, winter season : carrots, beetroot, black radish, cabbage, spinach, winter lettuce etc...), usually with lentils, chickpeas or quinoa. When I have more times, I sometimes do vegan spring rolls, with an amazing peanut butter/tamari sauce... to die for !
    I hope you deliver in France ! 😘

I also made some rice paper cold rolls with rice noodles, mint leaves, lettuce, cucumber, avocado, mango, and carrots with a spicy peanut sauce. Mmmmm.

For this week I made a tropical fruit quinoa tabbouleh and breaded, baked tofu. The variation I make is usually dictated by what I need to clean out in my fridge also!
