Better Being Pod

Apparently I’m on a foodie kick this week but hey 🙃

So I started a new journey 😱 I am taking the vegan-I-sh walk. I eliminated dairy some months back which I thought I could NEVER do but it was THE best decision I could have made. My mom is a health nut so my sissies and I got it honest, she for yearssss told me to give up dairy but that addiction is real. Glad to have kicked the habit.

Now the reason I say vegan-I-sh is for a few reasons.

1. because honestly I still have some whey protein that I’m not throwing out and most plant based proteins contain pea proteins of which I am allergic.

2. I don’t plan to (right now) always fully ensure there isn’t egg in a product I am consuming. One thing I hate is rigidity. I can make positive changes without stressing myself the hell out about every little detail - it ain’t happening.

3. I will NEVER EVER EVER give up honey🍯 . No explanation needed.

The meat and poultry isn’t an issue. I gave up meat years ago and I had always planned to get back to being vegetarian (I went vegetarian for about 1.5 years circa 2014). BTW cleaning chicken is 🤢🤢 for me.

Ok so now that I’m done with the longggg ass intro. I needed to make this transition easy and get some good ideas. So I decided to order to help give me great food and meal ideas. This one is awesomeee! Although they didn’t have one of the ingredients my sub worked out very nicely.

Basically this is eggplant, mozzarella “cheese”, garlic, shallots, couscous, basil, planko, sundried tomatoes (this was my sub).

It’s so funny, years ago you would have NEVER gotten me to eat eggplant 🍆. But it’s so meaty and tasty. This was my first meal from this order and it was great. The best part is I’ll always have the recipes so I can refer back at any point.

Whatever your goals are try to find ways to make it easier on yourself until you build good habits or learn more so you’re able to succeed.

If you’re interested in learning more let me know.

Oooohh lordt! I have been on a serious banana bread kick the past 6 months and this recipe right here is banging! I always have to add a twist to things so I decided to add sweet potatoes to the mix. This is great for a couple of reasons

1. Natural sugar
2. Fiber

This recipe has..

NO Sugar
NO Dairy
NO White flour
LOADS of flavor

I sweetened with and I used (I’m obsessed with all things oat 🥴)

These babies are moist and hella delicious.

Do you make banana bread? Definitely the season in .
