Plant-Based Life: What I’ve Been Eating Lately

What I Eat As A Vegan Food Inspiration

Hi loves! I started compiling these meals at the tail-end of my pregnancy, but there are also some post-baby meals in here. I’m so fortunate to have amazing family and friends to bring over lots of meals while we got through the first week with a newborn. Thank God, right? Because I am STARVING. Breastfeeding is no joke. Lots of plant-based/vegan food inspiration below the cut!

And as always, follow along on Instagram for more plant-based food inspiration. I’ll be there much more often these days rather than on here while I find my groove as a mom. xx

Finally tried the Beyond Meat burger. I’ll admit, I prefer veggie burgers but this is definitely a great alternative. It tastes great and really does feel like meat. Save a cow and eat these instead, people!
