Happy Tuesday lovely foodies! 😍 I just started my own personal account for all my outdoorsy stuff, and more for fun! I am excited to be linking another aspect to the Expedition Healthy Tribe! . To celebrate I have this delicious plate of oven roasted fries, asparagus, and yellow mustard! And a fancy cup of water. 😂 The perfect snack on this gorgeous summer day. 💛 What’s on your plate for today? . . . #fryday#whatveganseat#vegansofinstagram#veganfood#veganfoodporn#veganfoodie#veganeats#eatplants#eatyourveggies#healthyvegan#heresmyfood#eatyourcolors#herbivore#plantbased#veganlove#vegancommunity#veganrecipes#plantpower#eatyourgreens#cleaneatingideas#traderjoes#letscookvegan#fries#teamvegan#govegan#feedfeedvegan#potatoes#foodphotography#veganbowl (at Michigan)

I am to pooped to pop! 😴 I had the pleasure of taking my sister and her boyfriend to the airport in the wee hours this morning, and have been working on au pair jobs ever since. Now, I am going off to a job interview. Crazy day y’all! . Kabocha fries have been my absolute favorite snack lately, but they absolutely hate me! I get terrible digestion issues. I am devastated! So I can only “treat” myself on nights where I don’t have anything for the next two days. 😂😭 Who else has that problem?! . . . . . . . #thrivemags @thrivemags #healthyfood #nourishing #nourishnotpunish #carbs #highcarb #healthyfats #veganfoodshare #bbgcommunity #balancednotclean #bestofvegan #govegan #vegansofig #veganfoodshare #yummy #delicious #foodporn #edrecovery #veganfoodporn #strongnotskinny #foodisfuel #cleaneating #healthy #fries #healthycuisines #dinner #buddhabowl #veganbowl #vegan #humpday (at Michigan)

Real Talk: . What do you base your self worth off of? Is it based on how you look? Is it based on how much money you have in the bank? Do you find your self worth in how many friends you have? As I was making lunch yesterday, I found myself judging myself by the nutrients I was putting into my body. It wasn’t green, it wasn’t little, it wasn’t what I deemed as “worthy”. Yet, does that make me any less of a person? Do I suddenly have less value because I didn’t have a salad for lunch? Heck no! My worth needs to be found in who I am grounded in, Christ. Found in my morals, actions, and words. Found in how I view the world and others. Respect and self love. That’s important. . Make your own pudding bowl was on my table today! Peanut butter protein pudding (@drinkorgain peanut butter protein), topped with fresh strawberries and superfood seeds. 😁💙💕 . . . . . . . . . . #bestofvegan #breakfast #breakfasttime #breakfastgoals #breakfastchampions #veganbreakfast #healthyfood #heresmyfood #healthyeating #healthycuisines #healthychoices #healthylifestyle #veganmeals #nourishingfood #veganfoodporn #feedfeed #food #foodie #foodblogger #foodstyling #foods4thought #veganshares#ahealthynut#plantbased#healthydesserts#smoothie#smoothiebowl#veganbowl#anarecovery (at Michigan)

Crazy Buddha Bowl with cauliflower, carrots, zucchini, onion, apple, water chestnuts and straw mushroom! 😍🙌 I always add lettuce and sriracha later because #vegangoals! 😂💕 . The temperature has dropped once more to winter coat wearing. 😞 Not a happy camper! But the grass is green where I decide to water it, and I learning to be content and joyful in every season of life. 😁 . I got the opportunity to spend time with my mother and sister today to get some pedicures done!

I’m {sort of} back! 😍🙌 My life has decided to hit the fan in a way, and unfortionally food styling has been lit on the back burner. But, while I had a free moment I thought I would check in! ☺️💕 . Strawberry Protein Smoothie Bowl topped with cubed bananas, gluten-free oats, and a touch of hemp hearts, flax + chia seeds. 👍 . I cannot believe this incredible weather we here in Michigan have been having. Although it’s supposed to rain all weekend, I throughly enjoyed sitting out on my screened in porch last night and listening to the thunder and feeling the energy of the lightening. 😌⛈🌬 . . . . . . . #anarecovery #edwarrior #smoothiebowl #veganrecovery #eatingdisorderrecovery #anorexiarecovery #veganbowl #healthyvegan #hclf #smoothie #veganfoodshare #healthyvegan #plantbasedfood #plantbased #veganwhatieat #bestofvegan #vegansofinstagram #veganlife #veganfriendly #plantpower #plantprotein #strongnotskinny #highcarbvegan #veganeats #vegansofig #vegannutrition #recoveryfood #cleaneating #veganfit #vegangains @drinkorgain (at Grand Rapids, Michigan)

Good morning friends! 🙋‍♀️ I hope your morning is being filled with moments of joy and peace. I know I dedicate this day to the Lord! 😌🌄 . Blueberry banana smoothie bowl with frozen blueberries, banana, and gluten-free oats! 😍💙 + I added a scoop of plant based protein powder! I know this bowl looks very put together, but that is so not reality! I have a hand held immersion blender and container, and I eat my smoothies straight out the container like a cave man. 😂🤷‍♀️ It saves me dishes to do, and is just so much more convenient. Am I the only one that does that? . I have the opportunity for today, and this week to filled with much growth and productivity. But, I say opportunity because life happens, and some days I need to give myself grace and know it’s ok to not complete all the items on the “to-do” list. So, if you are feeling completely overwhelmed before your feet hit the ground running, reflect that you are only human, and the Lord’s grace is sufficient. . . . . . . . . . #nom#yum#breakfast#smoothie#picoftheday#f52grams#smoothiebowl#healthydessert#whatveganseat#foodblognation#edfam#ahealthynut#foodie_features#breaky#veganism#health#vegansofinstagram#veganfoodporn#loveyourself#veganfoodshare#plantpowered#wholefoods#vegetarian#healthychoices#plantbaseddiet#veganlifestyle#onthetable#hclfvegan (at Michigan)

Pro Tip: Add a 1/4t. xantham gum to your smoothie bowl for extra thickness and creaminess! 🤤🙌 . Peanut butter strawberry banana smoothie bowl with sliced banana + strawberry, @drinkorgain peanut butter protein powder, gluten-free oats, hemp hearts and chia seeds! I am so obsessed with this as a breakfast staple lately..now that the weather permits a cold food item. 😂 I have also tried this with Orgains new Cookies n Cream protein powder... heaven... pure heaven. 😍💕 . Partly weird question, did you know you can eat banana peels? Second question, would you actually do it? 🤔 . . (at Michigan)

The winter weather is (I hope) past, and spring can now appear for the first time! 🙌 But, that does classify as having one last comforting bowl to round out the end to this endless winter. 🌄💕 . Gluten-free noodles, homemade rice + veggie soup, spiced quinoa, and some @LesserEvilSnacks salt n apple cider vinegar potato chips! A pleasant reminder that every meal doesn’t need to contain lettuce. 😂🙌🍲 . Separate note, I have literally have been looking for a substitute for my favorite chip flavor, salt and vinegar. Most contain maltodextrin, and sodium levels through the roof! But I am pleased to say that these salt n apple cider vinegar chips have made my month! I also love Lesser Evil Snacks mission statement: “We want to make our world less evil by creating deeper connections with people, the planet and real, organic food.” How relaxing and realistic! ☺️💕 Also, coconut oil popcorn = bliss on a new level of popcorn love! 😂🍿 .

Expedition Healthy is now live!!! 😍🙌 I’m so excited to share with you my journey, and hopefully you will feel empowered and encouraged by the posts I publish. I’m still working on updating MailChimp, but soon that too will be functional! I’m feeling so productive today! 😂 . Striving to become a more healthy, strong, and passionate woman of God, I encourage all of you to continue to lead on Christ throughout your journey. I can say for a fact, that if I did not have Him, I would not be here. I would have ended up starving myself to death. This is something I struggle with. 😔 My body is a temple to God, and by not nourishing it, and by condemning it as, “not good enough” I am spitting in the face of my Savior. So, as I am experiencing severe extreme hunger lately, it’s so easy for me to convert back into my old manipulative ways, but I refuse to. I am pushing to continue to have courage and persevere. Breaking one E.D habit at a time. 💪 . Buddha “Bowl” with homemade matchstick potato fries, roasted kabocha squash, heart of palm, mushrooms, carrots, alfalfa sprouts, apple sticks, and orange bell peppers. 😁🍲 (at Michigan)

Snow days in April? Why, yes! It’s a Michigan tactic to keep us in our toes. 😂🤦‍♀️ . Some days I envy you Instagramers that post these gorgeous morning oatmeal bowls... but other mornings I am perfectly content putting my morning in the hands of @drinkorgain and @myteasquares. Fast, easy, confident, and delicious! Nothing but clean ingredients here, ladies and gentlemen! 😁 . On a separate note, I am absolutely loving this months @vegancuts box! It’s incredibly diverse, and includes a lot of new and exciting products! 💪🙌😍 . What is your favorite go-to snack? 💕💕 (at Michigan)

Happy #WaffleWednesday! 😍💪 Am I they only one who wishes there was a waffle emoji? It seems like there should be one... oh well. 🤷‍♀️ These cinnamon spice vegan/gluten-free waffles are topped with strawberries, some raw granola, and PB2! 😁🌄 . I had the intention of working hard on my blog today to finish getting the domain stuff switched over... but after two days, and over an hour of customer support today, I still cannot access my website. It’s terribly frustrating, not only because of the fact that I cannot work on my blog, but also it somehow makes me feel like I have failed the day. That I was supposed to be productive, and since I wasn’t in that area, I don’t deserve to eat or relax today.. WHAT A BUNCH OF LIES! Don’t ever let yourself believe that just because something didn’t work out, or you didn’t exercise, that you don’t deserve to love yourself. . On a completely separate note, what is your favorite book or documentary? I’m plum-run-dry out of ideas! Thanks! 😂 (at Michigan)

Who wants a Pineapple Coconut or Blueberry Ginger “Mock”tail this Monday morning! 🙌🤦‍♀️ This simple recipe is not only refreshing, but takes away that “Monday” feeling.... which is always a plus in my book.

Cinnamon Spiced Oats topped with juicy Kiwi and Raw Apple Granola. 😌 . You know those days where you honestly have decent expectations, and then it completely falls to pot? That was one of those days today. 😔 I wanted things to go smoothly, but it obviously did not turn out that way. But, am I going to slash my remaining four tires for the day? Nope! I’m actually taking my baby brother out for a date in a couple hours. I could have easily stayed home and wallowed in my overwhelmingness, alas, that is not who I want to be. I want to persevere through this, and be stronger for it on the other side. 💪 . What is on your plate for this afternoon/evening?

As I was looking for some inspiration to start my afternoon off right, I came across this incredible piece of poetry that I would like to share with you all! I hope you enjoy it. 🌅😌 . Send a drop of kindness, And see a happy face. A drop of kindness goes real far, It may even reach outer space. Send a drop of love, And feel a loving embrace. It feels so good to feel like, You are in the right place. Send a drop of hope, But be that shinning star. Hope is wonderful to have, But sometimes you can't sit away so far. Send a drop of faith, With a single prayer. And God will show the way, As faith is always there. By Julie Hebert . I am addicted to Buddha “Plates”! Because I literally don’t have a bowl big enough for my stuff. 😅 Who is with me?! . . . . . . . . . . . . . #buddhabowl #vegansofinstagram #plantbasedcommunity #vegansofig #veganmeals #whatveganseat #vegangirl #vegetarian #vegandinner #health #nutrition #rd2be #nutritionist #edrecovery #foodblogger #anarecovery #wfpb #forksoverknives #edwarrior #plantpowered #plantprotein #plantbasedrecipes #eatclean #eatmoreplants #veganshare #plantbasedlife #veganeats #recoverywarriors (at Michigan)

This struck a nerve. My brother is being homeschooled, but is participating in a school funded curriculum. His nutrition assignment consisted of counting calories and how that equals weight loss/weight gain. Can we acknowledge how demented that is to be teaching children nothing about nutrition, but simply that if you cut calories, you lose weight, and eat to much you will gain. This is teaching them that it is normal to count calories, diet, and eat whatever you want if you keep under x amount of calories. This angered me! 😡 As someone who started out that simple path many years ago, I’m living proof that it can only lead to a sick, and unhealthy life. 😔 Why are we not teaching this generation about actual nutrition? About that calories don’t matter as long as you eat a balanced whole foods plant based lifestyle? Why is this so difficult to understand? 🤦‍♀️😓 . So, I’m starting off my day by not restricting, but eating a healthy, and well balanced breakfast. This is a fruity oat bowl! 😁🦄🙌 . . . . . . . . . . . #anarecovery#whatieatvegan#oatmealpassion#dessertforbreakfast#plantbaseddiet#fruit#veganbowls#vegandessert#veganbreakfast#healthybreakfast#edwarrior#dairyfree#crueltyfreefood#veganblogger#veganfoodblogger#veganfoodshare#nutritionfacts#heresmyfood#detoxfood#superfoods#rawvegan#veganeats#recovery#veganinspo#nourish#plantbased#healthydessert#allnatural#vegansofinstagram#veganeaster (at Michigan)

It was a beautiful day outside, I got to catch up with an old friend, and allowing myself some self-care.. today has been a wonderful day. 🙂 . I want to say how vital it is to have a good group of friends/family that is supportive of your journey no matter what it might be. 😁 Even if you can only have one good friend or one trustworthy family member, be thankful and utilize them when you need them. You won’t be a bother, you will make them feel needed. 💕 . Salad!!!! 🥗😍 Time to eat the rainbow y’all! It’s so important to stick to a Whole Foods plant based diet to better your health and wellness. Who agrees? 🙌👍 . . . . . . . . . . . . . . #vegan #veganfood #wellbeing #bestofvegan #hclf #happiness #iifym #edrecovery #plantbased #salad #protein #recovery #foodisfuel #nourish #nutrition #health #wholefoods #cleaneating #raw #diet #lunch #veganfoodshare #healthyfood #eattogrow #foodie #leangains #healthyeating #recipe #mealprep #fitness (at Michigan)

Hello people! We have made it to the weekend! This week was honestly a big batch of rocky road ice-cream, but I overcame! 💪😂 . I am starting my day by watching some inspirational YouTube videos in my room because it's a challenge to get out of bed and face the world today. I was planning on possibly heading out today, but if I can get out of my room, that will be a win. . I made some overnight cinnamon zucchini oats with banana, grapes, and PB2! I know a lot of people will skin their zucchini to make it look more appealing, but I believe that just supports food waste, and wastefulness in general. So, if the color bothers you, oh well! 🤷‍♀️ . Seriously considering starting a YouTube channel though... Would that be something that sounds interesting? 🤔 . . . . . . . . . . . . . . #veganlifestyle #veganfood #wellbeing #bestofvegan #hclf #veganeats #iifym #edrecovery #plantbased #diet #recovery #foodisfuel #nourish #nutrition #health #wholefoods #cleaneating #veganoatmeal #overnightoats #anarecovery #breakfastbowl #wslfvegan #strongnotskinny #healthyfood #eattogrow #leangains #healthyeating #mealprep #veganfooshare #breakfasts (at Michigan)
