Oh heyyy, Taco Tuesdayyy!

You know what I love about Tacos? That you can make tacos out of virtually anything. Have some tortillas? Throw anything yummy on them and BAM! Tacos. 

I love to make Tacos because they're my favorite.

There is something about Tortillas, beans and avocado that make me drool.

Of course you can add whatever you want to a tortilla and call it a taco, but my tacos have to have beans and avocado. 

Yep, that's just my style.

Anyways, I just wanted to give you guys an example of how I make Vegan tacos. Every time I make tacos, I change it up.

This week, however, this is what I used: 

1. Organic Mini Corn tortillas

2. Organic Black Beans

3. Organic Watercress (my favorite green) 

4. Raw chopped organic Red onions

5. Raw chopped organic Garlic

6. AVOCADO, DUH =) 

7. Vegan Parmesan cheese

8. Vegan chopped Cheddar cheese

THAT'S IT!

Do you realize it took me like 10 minutes to prepare these from start to finish? The quickest meal ever and probably one of the cheapest.

Were they good? Does a dog bark? YES! 

How do you guys make your tacos?

Thank you for stopping by!

XOXO,

Vegan Finds at Costco

Hey friends! 

Sorry I have been MIA on my blog posts. I've been a busy bee the last month or so.

I'm currently in Reno, NV and have been here for about a week. I have no exact return date, so I'm just enjoying my family and having fun. I love the freedom that I have right now to just go wherever I want, whenever I want. Who knows how long that will last, so for now you can catch me enjoying it and living life. 

Anyways, I brought some snacks on my way here to Reno, sadly, they are all gone by now. When I got here I went to the Costco to pick up some food and goodies. 

I saw so many Vegan friendly foods that I decided to share with you some of the finds I found.

Now, this isn't everything. I just took what was interesting.

             Obviously Costco has fruit, veggies, nuts, seed, dried fruit, popcorn, and oil etc 

so I won't be sharing those with you. 

I will be sharing with you just some of the items, I love or would love to try.

Please keep in mind that some items are not certified vegan and have been made on same equipment other products containing dairy have been made on.

Of course, if you want to avoid those that's great! However, this is also for those who may be trying to transition and are just looking for ideas and or products to try/start with. 

Hope you enjoy and would love to see photos of items you have found at Costco that you love. 

Hope you enjoyed!!! Don't forget to follow my INSTAGRAM:

A vitamin pill dispenser with the tiniest pills

SHO Vitamins ladies and gentlemen.

If you follow me on Instagram, you know that I'm huge on health. I'm not always at the peek of my healthiest or eating the healthiest foods, I am however always in love with learning about health. I love to try the newest and greatest health products. Whether it includes, a new vitamin, a new herb, a new tea, or a new whatever, I'm all in. 

I have been following Sho Nutrition for some time now and I finally got my hands on their vitamins. Here is the really cool thing about their vitamins... Actually two really cool things about their vitamins: One they come with  a magical pill dispenser 

and two, the vitamins are T I N Y! 

I have been taking vitamins for a LONG time. Before that, I was taking Medications for a long time, shout out to all the premies of the world and people with medical complications since they were young.  Anyways, I have never taken a pill or a vitamin as small as SHO nutrition vitamins. These tiny beasts are exactly that, BEASTS. One is a probiotic and the other full of B vitamins. 

Hello vegans, we need our B12. 

Not only are these formulated with some awesome vitamins and probiotics, they are also free 

of gluten, wheat, dairy, nuts, fish, shellfish, peanuts, eggs

WHAT?! yep, that's right. These babes are vegan friendly, have a pill dispenser that also has a tracker so you never forget AND are teeny tiny with some major health punch. 

They have subscription plans, but you can cancel ANY TIME. 

Who would want to cancel anyways? hello junk food vegans, we need our supps. Am I right? Am I right? High five! Anyone? Okay, moving on... 

You can add these to your daily supplement routine. These are a great Bonus or just use these alone for a healthy gut, and some much needed energy. 

If you order these and try them Please let me know what you think !

 I keep mine on my desk because not only are they awesome for your health, they also look pretty sitting on your desk. Oh hello, vitamin decor. 

Alright my friends, I'm out. Have a beautiful day you beautiful person. You rock and I love you.

10 Vegan Items at Panera Bread

 

Hi friends! So I've been coming to Panera a lot lately. There is a really nice and big one by my house. I love their drinks and food. I love being able to sit in a big booth to myself and have a chance to write. I wanted to share with you guys vegan options that you can find at your local Panera. Pictured above is a sandwich that I got. Here is the thing, I did't eat the sandwich because I wasn't sure if the bread  was vegan and by the time I requested different bread I already ate the soup so I couldn't take another photo. 

NOT ALL OF PANERA'S BREAD IS VEGAN. PLEASE CHOOSE FROM THE FOLLOWING TYPE OF BREADS WHEN ORDERING TO KEEP IT VEGAN FRIENDLY. 

1.  Ciabatta bread

2. Country loaf

3. Three seed demi bread

4.Stone milled rye loaf

5. Stone milled rye miche

6. French miche

7. Country miche 

8. Sourdough roll

9. Sesami Miche

10. Sesami Loaf 

Never hesitate to ask if an item is Vegan. Panera's staff know what's up and they don't, they will ask. 

Okay, here are my top 10 VEGAN FOODS at Panera Bread. 

1. BAGELS! BAGELS! BAGELS! 

Get Plain, blueberry, poppyseed, sweet onion, or sesame. 

What a great place to have a drink , a bagel and do some blogging . 

2. GARDEN VEGETABLE SOUP// SKIP THE PESTO 

Feel like you're at Disney and get it in a bead bowl

Yum, yum and more yum,  Is all I can say. I always order a bowl, 

it's delicious. You can't go wrong. 

3.  GREEK SALAD- YES THE DRESSING IS VEGAN//

SKIP THE FETA 

I've been coming to Panera Bread since I was a teenager a

And I would come and get the same thing over and over again. Soup in a bread bowl

and a big GREEK SALAD. MY FAVE. Panera has the best Greek Salad 

4. BLACK BEAN SOUP

At my Panera, this soup doesn't seem to exist every time I come in. 

I've had it before and it's so yummy. I love it so much that every time I come in , I ask for it and it's never to be found. I must come on the wrong days. 

5. OATMEAL

The Oatmeal is Completely dairy free. Never hurts to come in the morning

grab some oatmeal and warm cup of tea

6. PEANUT BUTTER AND JELLY SANDWICH

Who doesn't like a good ol' PB&J? Child or Adult can enjoy this. Just make sure you switch the bread to a vegan friendly bread. YUM YUM YUM.

7. CARROT PINEAPPLE SMOOTHIE

This smoothie isn't made with yogurt. I wouldn't say is a healthy smoothie, but it is vegan and delicious. This is definitely a "treat" smoothie. 

8. FILLING DRINKS 

Okay, so Panera does carry Almond milk ! Yeeeee! 

feel free to make your own "latte" or just your good ol' coffee with milk. Ask for the Almond milk because they don't have it in a container near the coffee. You can Always make a Tea Latte also. Ask for hot tea, let your tea sit a bit then ask to add some Almond milk and BAM Tea Latte. 

9. BLUEBERRY POMEGRANATE SMOOTHIE

This smoothie is yum. I ordered it last year and haven't had it since. It is a yummy treat though. Made with coconut milk , white grape juice, Bananas etc. It's definitely one to grab. 

Better ingredients than the one you get at costco. 

10. VEGGIE SANDWICH

Skip the pesto and cheese,  change your bread to a vegan friendly bread and BAM- vegan!

 Veggie sandwiches are my jam . 

You can always ask to add avocado too. Perfection. 

Well friends, those are my Favorite things to eat and drink at Panera Bread. 

What do you like that is vegan there? 

Leave me a comment or Follow me on Instagram and let me know there.

P.S. 

if my friends at Panera are reading this, 

please bring a vegan Mac'n'Cheese. 

Your Mac N Cheese is what I loved back in the day. 

I promise you'll have vegans from everywhere swarming in! 

XOXOX
