What I absolutely love about vegan cooking is that you’re prompted to think outside the box. You learn all the cool functions of plant-based ingredients that can suffice or even exceed the original properties of non-vegan recipes! 🧀🍗🥚👍 One prime example is this plethora of vegan pastas made by the kitchen team of the @cpfoodscienceclub: here we have vegan mac n’ cheese and vegan and gluten free kale pesto pasta with sun-dried tomatoes and olives! Both of these dishes were superb and I can’t really decide which one I liked better! 😋🥗🍅💛❤️💚 Personally, I haven’t been too crazy about pasta, but now I want to explore all kinds of pasta dishes! Vegan fettuccine Alfredo, sweet potato gnocchi, butternut squash risotto, vegan meat sauce with spaghetti.......okay I’ll just dream of a giant bowl of carbs now 🤤🍝🍜🍲🥣 #superfitbabe #spooncalpoly #health #diet #nutrition #bestlifeproject #vegan #glutenfree #plantbased #wslf #hclf #rawtill4 #pegan #calpolyyogaclub #cpcampusdining #ethicaleatingcp #slofoodies #sloveganguide #cpfoodscienceclub (at San Luis Obispo, California)

Today, I decided to go makeup free, both because I had no time to do so and there’s really no point in applying makeup to go out only once for a final exam and then come home to remove it all. 👁💄 I was curious to see if people would treat me differently, especially those I don’t see very often. Somewhat surprisingly, everybody treated me the same way. 🤷🏻‍♀️ I’m really grateful to be surrounded by people who look beyond the surface and don’t think twice about judging someone based on exterior. Sure, I might not have looked as presentable, but I realize that it’s absolutely fine to choose to be a little lazy with your appearance! Ultimately, you have to dress to impress YOURSELF and not others. 👍💃🏻 I personally think I look better with makeup, but there’s not such a huge difference. I still try to love myself either way, and if you wear makeup regularly, you should too! ☺️💞 Pictured is a bowl of cauliflower spinach rice with a @boca.burger vegan veggie patty: basically how I make vegetables taste good! I like to season my vegetables with tons of spices, a little salt, Sriracha, and sometimes I get fancy and use lemon juice, tamari, or nutritional yeast! 🍚🥗🌿 Lately I’ve been eating this for dinner every night and it seriously hits the spot. In general, I’m not super hungry at night so my dinners aren’t that big, but I always save room for dessert. And that’s usually chocolate and peanut butter! 🍫🥜😜 #superfitbabe #spooncalpoly #health #diet #nutrition #bestlifeproject #vegan #glutenfree #plantbased #wslf #hclf #rawtill4 #pegan #calpolyyogaclub #cpcampusdining #ethicaleatingcp #slofoodies #sloveganguide #cpfoodscienceclub (at San Luis Obispo, California)

Well then, this cake made with @anthonysgoods spirulina and @lakantosweetener pancake mix is WAY less green than I had hoped for, but that’s okay! 🤷🏻‍♀️💚 Topping it with @baresnacks coconut chips, @enjoylifefoods dairy free chocolate chips, goji berries, and homemade strawberry preserves was the best decision ever! Everything was AMAZING. 🍫🥥🍓😍❤️ This was actually my first time trying the Bare Snacks coconut chips. I didn’t have too high of hopes for them because I’ve always been pretty neutral about coconut. Nothing I’m crazy about, but it tastes good with other foods like pastries, trail mix, or chocolate (I do like it in Samoa cookie flavored treats too! Also, I wish Girl Scout Samoa cookies were vegan. Yeah, if they could reformulate a vegan Samoa cookie, that’d be great. 👍). However, these toasted coconut chips were FANTASTIC because they were crunchy and fulfilling, which I didn’t think would happen because I can eat healthy fats by the handful (or spoonful if we’re talking about peanut butter!) for forever. In addition, I mean just look at how beautifully the coconut chips enhance my cake. Like honestly. They’re beautiful! 🤩🙇🏻‍♀️ #superfitbabe #spooncalpoly #health #diet #nutrition #bestlifeproject #vegan #glutenfree #plantbased #wslf #hclf #rawtill4 #pegan #calpolyyogaclub #cpcampusdining #ethicaleatingcp #slofoodies #sloveganguide #cpfoodscienceclub (at San Luis Obispo, California)

Feel like ages since enjoying dairy free @halotopcreamery! I finally got to try the chocolate flavor, which I haven’t found anywhere until yesterday! 🍫🍦😱 The texture is really creamy and thick, and the flavor had a stronger chocolate component than I thought. To be honest, I was expecting a slightly watered down chocolate ice cream, sort of like those chocolate protein powders that don’t have much of a flavor. But nope, there’s actually a decent amount of cocoa! Not complaining at all! 😋💗 The last flavor I have left to try is the chocolate covered banana, which doesn’t sound that exciting, but I have heard positive reviews about it. I did try the sea salt caramel pint, which was SUPERB, but I didn’t get a chance to take a picture of it. So I’ll have to taste test it again for the blog! Totally willing to do that! 🧡💛✨ #superfitbabe #spooncalpoly #health #diet #nutrition #bestlifeproject #vegan #glutenfree #plantbased #wslf #hclf #rawtill4 #pegan #calpolyyogaclub #cpcampusdining #ethicaleatingcp #slofoodies #sloveganguide #cpfoodscienceclub #halotop (at San Luis Obispo, California)

Since there’s no exciting meal for me to post of today, I thought I’d share some more close-ups of my first ever milkshake from @mamaganachechocolate that I enjoyed with @kaaatherinediaz last Saturday! My original picture got more likes than I anticipated, but I still don’t think a far shot of these milkshakes do them justice. 🍫🍦🤪💕 Inside these glasses of glorified heaven are gigantic scoops of @coconutbliss vanilla ice cream with EXTRA dark chocolate, and this isn’t counting what’s been drizzled and garnished. I wouldn’t be surprised if I walk all the way from my apartment to the chocolate shop for a full milkshake. That miiiiiight happen! 😏 Like I said in my previous post, this was indeed the first milkshake I’ve ever tried in my life. Prior to this moment, I’ve never enjoyed any kind of milkshake! Other desserts I haven’t tried: pizookies, anything Boston Creme, strudel, non-Thanksgiving pie (except for sweet potato pie—I’ve never had that), dessert pizza, Dulce de leche, pavlova, crumpets, cannoli, German chocolate cake, Devil’s Food cake, Scotcheroos, and most types of pudding. Weird because I was a pretty unhealthy child with a loaded sweet tooth! Guess I’ll have to try a lot of new foods to enjoy some more experiences then... 😉 #superfitbabe #spooncalpoly #health #diet #nutrition #bestlifeproject #vegan #glutenfree #plantbased #mamaganachechocolate #mamaganache #rawtill4 #pegan #calpolyyogaclub #cpcampusdining #ethicaleatingcp #slofoodies #sloveganguide #cpfoodscienceclub (at Mama Ganache Artisan Chocolates)

Though I’ve been getting better at sharing food creations, homemade @yonanas nice cream is NOT one I’d allow anyone else to dig into. 😜🍦🍌 At the moment, my two favorite flavors of anything have to be cookies n’ creme and chocolate peanut butter (duh), so it’s only fitting that I create one bowl of cookies n’ creme using @newmansown original chocolate sandwich cookies and another bowl of chocolate peanut butter ice cream made with the rest of the dark chocolate @traytik and I made about a few posts back! Both of them were absolutely incredible—changing into warmer clothes after enjoying these bowls was absolutely worth it! 🍫🥜🍪 #superfitbabe #spooncalpoly #health #diet #nutrition #bestlifeproject #vegan #glutenfree #plantbased #wslf #hclf #rawtill4 #pegan #calpolyyogaclub #cpcampusdining #ethicaleatingcp #slofoodies #sloveganguide #cpfoodscienceclub

Feeding into my cereal addiction, I decided to swap my corn puffs and puffed kamut (though those are absolutely wonderful) for two slightly more indulgent cereals from @naturespathorganic with @lovemysilk almond milk, @truenutrition vegan chocolate fudge protein in a @laurascudderspb jar, and a @healthwarrior dark chocolate cherry chia bar! 🥣🍒 I haven’t had Peanut Butter Panda Puffs in FOREVERRRRRR so I knew it would be amazing, but I tried the Love Crunch Dark Chocolate Macaroon cereal for the first time and am pretty much hooked. The fact I finished the box and it’s only 12 PM is a true testament to that. Definitely going to have to get some more of both! You really can’t go wrong with chocolate and peanut butter together! 😜🥜🍫 #superfitbabe #spooncalpoly #health #diet #nutrition #bestlifeproject #vegan #glutenfree #plantbased #wslf #hclf #rawtill4 #pegan #calpolyyogaclub #cpcampusdining #ethicaleatingcp #slofoodies #sloveganguide #cpfoodscienceclub (at San Luis Obispo, California)

Today is National Peanut Butter Day, so what could be more appropriate then enjoying peanut butter? 🥜 Mixing @peanutbutterco flax and chia powdered peanut butter with the @truenutrition vegan chocolate fudge protein and @almondbreeze unsweetened almond milk was probably the best decision of the day. Aside from pairing it with @arrowheadmills puffed kamut, corn puffs, @bobsredmill ground flax seed, roasted kabocha squash, Sriracha ketchup, and a @healthwarrior dark chocolate cherry chia bar, of course! 🍫🥣🍒 Lately I’ve been making a HUGE effort to walk more—been getting in 13K-20K steps a day, which is easy since I walk to my workplace and my classes all the time! On the weekends, I like walking to the grocery store instead of Ubering there (so expensive ughhhhh 💲🙄). Overall, I’ve been feeling ten times better in terms of energy. It’s almost like hiking everyday! 🚶🏻‍♀️🌳 #superfitbabe #spooncalpoly #health #diet #nutrition #bestlifeproject #vegan #glutenfree #plantbased #wslf #hclf #hflc #rawtill4 #pegan #calpolyyogaclub #cpcampusdining #ethicaleatingcp #slofoodies #sloveganguide #cpfoodscienceclub #healthwarrioramb #nationalpeanutbutterday (at San Luis Obispo, California)

Quick question: am I the only one that takes a bite of everything on my plate, ranks them from worst to best, and then proceeds to finish everything in order of least to most favorite? Yes? Okay then 🤭 That’s essentially what I did when taste-testing the @slodoco gluten free strawberry cheesecake donut and galaxy donut, as well as the @californiafreshmarket blueberry pie, which is (shhhh) ACCIDENTALLY vegan! 😜🍩🥧 I ended up finishing the gluten free strawberry cheesecake donut first and then the blueberry pie last. Not that the cheesecake donut was bad, but the crumbly and dense texture just didn’t quite measure up to the externally crispy yet internally soft and fluffy galaxy donut. The blueberry pie was finished last. To be fair, comparing donuts and pie is like comparing apples to oranges, and when I run into an unequal comparison, I honestly just save the biggest item for last. I think this slice of pie was the size of my hand when stretched out. It was MASSIVELY thick but it was absolutely perfect. I’m so glad the market didn’t have the whole pie on sale the day I went grocery shopping. I would have eaten the entire pie otherwise... 🥧😂💗 #superfitbabe #spooncalpoly #health #diet #nutrition #bestlifeproject #vegan #californiafreshmarket #plantbased #wslf #hclf #slodoco #rawtill4 #pegan #calpolyyogaclub #cpcampusdining #ethicaleatingcp #slofoodies #sloveganguide #cpfoodscienceclub #slodonutcompany (at San Luis Obispo, California)

Just finished up with the most glorious nice cream party I hosted at my apartment! 🎊🎉 I was planning on including banana bread, but honestly, the patience I had for waiting for the loaf to bake was VERY scarce, so we broke out the @yonanas machine and made the most incredible vegan staple in the world. 🍦🍌 So @jewellm and @regina_ranieri created the most beautiful nice cream bowls that were topped with tons of shredded coconut, blueberries, strawberries, @enjoylifefoods dairy free dark chocolate chips, @peanutbutterco dark chocolate dreams peanut butter, and organic creamy peanut butter! 🍓🍌🥥 Mine is the smaller bowl of chocolate nice cream topped with strawberries, blueberries, and a whole bar of @lakantosweetener 55% sugar free dark chocolate! It may not seem like a lot, but there was a HUGE portion of nice cream in mine. Not complaining! Oh yeah, and I added tonsssss of peanut butter on top after the picture was taken. 🤪🍫🥜 #superfitbabe #spooncalpoly #health #diet #nutrition #bestlifeproject #vegan #glutenfree #plantbased #wslf #hclf #rawtill4 #pegan #calpolyyogaclub #cpcampusdining #ethicaleatingcp #slofoodies #sloveganguide #cpfoodscienceclub (at San Luis Obispo, California)

I am honestly still so amazed by the quality of portrait mode on the latest iPhone! Thank you @anastasia_yogi for this amazing photo 📸💕✨ Now I might have to upgrade so my pictures look even better! 👌 Anyways, out of the blue I started craving Chinese food today, so I ended up making some of the @vegeusa vegan orange chicken with mushrooms and spinach! It turned out amazingly and I’m so happy I tried it! 👍🥡😍 Back in the day, my favorite Chinese dishes were chow mein, orange chicken, Kung Pao chicken, and any kind of fried rice. It’s so easy to find authentic vegan Chinese restaurants here in L.A., but here in San Luis Obispo, you’d have to actually buy some groceries to make your own dishes at home, which there’s nothing wrong with! 🥠🍚 So far I haven’t found a Chinese restaurant in SLO that served vegan options, and I’d rather not buy a $3 box of white rice at Panda Express when I can make at least four pounds of rice at home for the same price. 🙄 #superfitbabe #spooncalpoly #health #diet #nutrition #bestlifeproject #vegan #glutenfree #plantbased #wslf #hclf #rawtill4 #pegan #calpolyyogaclub #cpcampusdining #ethicaleatingcp #slofoodies #sloveganguide #cpfoodscienceclub (at San Luis Obispo, California)

What my meals have been looking like 99% of the time: roasted kabocha, @arrowheadmills puffed kamut and goji berries over @truenutrition vegan salted caramel protein, and a @healthwarrior dark chocolate chia bar! 💜🍫🥣🎃 I know everything looks really boring, but the stash of food I was going to bring to campus was so embarrassingly massive that all my goodies will be shipped up to me from L.A. sometime this week. Nonetheless, I have been embracing cooking more simply—it saves me so much time and energy into studying and doing what I love. Because let’s be real, that BioChem textbook isn’t going to open itself... 😅📖📚 #superfitbabe #health #diet #nutrition #bestlifeproject #vegan #glutenfriendly #plantbased #wslf #hclf #rawtill4 #pegan #calpolyyogaclub #cpcampusdining #ethicaleatingcp #slofoodies #sloveganguide #cpfoodscienceclub #healthwarrioramb (at San Luis Obispo, California)

Book me an episode on My Strange Addiction because I just realized tonight that I’m addicted to @lakantosweetener 55% cacao almond chocolate. Especially with @onceagainnutbutter sunflower seed butter. 😂🍫🌻 While challenging myself to try and understand all the football terms used in the Super Bowl (but TBH, the commercials and performances were my main reasons to even watch), I pretty much dipped every single square in sunflower seed butter. The balance of sweet and slightly savory flavors as well as the mix of crunchy and creamy textures is seriously perfect! I will post a full review of the Lakanto chocolate bars on my blog sometime this month. But truth be told, I’ll be having an entire chocolate bar every night this week. 😛 #superfitbabe #spooncalpoly #health #diet #nutrition #bestlifeproject #vegan #glutenfree #plantbased #wslf #hclf #hflc #paleo #rawtill4 #pegan #calpolyyogaclub #cpcampusdining #ethicaleatingcp #slofoodies #sloveganguide #cpfoodscienceclub (at San Luis Obispo, California)

I’ve been hardcore studying for my BioChemistry midterm yesterday and today, so it’s time for me to take a little break and focus on this amazingly addictive peanut butter chocolate I made with @traytik last weekend 🥜🍫🤩😍 the ingredients are so simple and the procedure is incredibly easy! Of course, the painful part is waiting for the chocolate to set, but it’s absolutely worth it! 💕✨ Lately my breakfast has been looking the exact same as in my last post, so I won’t go into too much details about it. Cereal just does the job every time! 🥣 But I will vary it up next week, so I just need some recipe inspiration! #superfitbabe #spooncalpoly #health #diet #nutrition #bestlifeproject #vegan #glutenfree #plantbased #wslf #hclf #hflc #rawtill4 #pegan #calpolyyogaclub #cpcampusdining #ethicaleatingcp #slofoodies #sloveganguide #cpfoodscienceclub (at San Luis Obispo, California)

When your chocolate addiction elevates to the next level 🍫😜🥣🍓 honestly, sometimes @hersheycompany chocolate syrup sounds good on corn puffs and @arrowheadmills puffed kamut with strawberries, @bobsredmill flaxseed, @pulppantry chai spice granola, and @almondbreeze almond milk! ❤️✨ Currently, it’s 64 degrees Fahrenheit, and for some reason, I’m barely surviving working indoors. It’s just freezing! Seriously, I have four layers on top and I’m wearing winter boots while drinking hot turmeric ginger tea. Still cold. 😬❄️ Maybe cereal isn’t the most warming meal to have either, but hey, the heart wants what it wants. 💓 #superfitbabe #spooncalpoly #health #diet #nutrition #bestlifeproject #vegan #glutenfree #plantbased #wslf #hclf #hflc #rawtill4 #pegan #calpolyyogaclub #cpcampusdining #ethicaleatingcp #slofoodies #sloveganguide #cpfoodscienceclub (at San Luis Obispo, California)

It’s been FOREVER since I’ve made pancakes on a Sunday, let alone pancakes at all! 😂 But I don’t regret the process at all! Who doesn’t want cinnamon @lakantosweetener and @truenutrition pancakes, especially when covered in monkfruit maple syrup, a @healthwarrior dark chocolate cherry chia bar, @pulppantry chai spice granola, and chocolate nice cream? 🍫🥞🍒🍌🍁✨ As you can see, I did have a bit of a dilemma with the first dollop of nice cream topping over and melting away, so I had to redo everything and try to make the meal look presentable somehow! I still think it looks fine, but yep, goes to show some first world foodie problems! 😅 #superfitbabe #spooncalpoly #health #diet #nutrition #bestlifeproject #vegan #glutenfree #plantbased #wslf #hclf #hflc #rawtill4 #pegan #calpolyyogaclub #cpcampusdining #ethicaleatingcp #slofoodies #sloveganguide #cpfoodscienceclub #healthwarrioramb (at San Luis Obispo, California)
