Shout out to Pret A Manger..

This is a quick shout out to Pret A Manger..


They have great coffee, yummy vegetarian-friendly soups and salads, and they donate their daily leftovers to food banks and charities working to eliminate hunger.





Just another example of how you can vote for the type of community you want to live in, 
with the power of your wallet!!

Be the change you want to see in the world!

Another "healthy" drink review...

So you're on the go..

It's hot out..

You're thirsty..

Should you grab this drink?

Or water and a fruit cup?





If you guessed the water and the fruit cup, you are correct!

If you've been reading my blog for some time now, you know that I keep saying the same thing:  
Stay close to the earth!

Fruit juice from concentrate does not come from the earth.
Sugar is added in the production of fruit juice from concentrate.

A better choice would be to grab a bottle of water and a fruit cup on the go.

For example, the standard fruit cup from Starbucks has 80 calories, .5grams of fat, 20 g of carbohydrates, 3g of fiber and 20mg of sodium.

~~~~

Not to mention the fruit cup costs $3.65 and the water is free if you ask for it at the counter, versus the "Naked" drink that costs $5-6. depending on the retailer.

It's the weekend.. Meat Free Week Meal Plan now available!

Happy Saturday, everyone!  Hope you have the chance to kick off the weekend with a great brunch!  Brunch is definitely my favorite meal of the week!


I'm doing things a bit differently this week.  

Instead of publishing my Meat Free Monday post, I'm giving you all another Meat Free Week Meal Plan over the weekend, so you have time to buy the necessary ingredients and to complete some food prep for the week ahead.

3 Steps for success:

Buy ingredients from your phone with a grocery application--it's a more efficient way to shop and reduces temptation to buy unnecessary junk at the store.

Clean/Chop/Store ingredients in containers that are clearly marked by day/meal.

Freeze or refrigerate containers of prepped food to reduce food waste.
 

So without further ado..  Here are 25 Meat Free Meal ideas for your consideration:


*The number of asterisks indicates the number of meals that call for that ingredient. 

It's easy to eat healthy!  

Vote with your wallet!

Just say no:

 to the food noise;

 to the Frankenfood; 

to the waste produced by industrial food processing!
