Minute-Meal Nutritious style!

Ugh I am always busy... most students let their health become their last priority when life gets hectic- but for me my schedule just means I need creative ways to keep my nutrients coming.

The other day I knew I was going to be out of the house the entire day- and I had about thirty minutes to get dressed eat breakfast and prepare my food for the day... so with the 3 minutes I saved for food prep (...it takes me a while to get ready and I like to take my time while eating ;)....) I quickly made this yummy awesome vegan (not 100% raw but can be made 100% raw) goodness!!!

Then while I was sitting with my friend when she was getting an IV at the hospital I took out my pre-packed meal and my camera and took a picture of my creation for my blog- lets just say not only does she think I am the biggest loser but she was pretty embarrassed. Um still a win of my life!

So what you will need to make this awesomeness!
-Tempeh (BUY ORGANIC!!!! Tempeh is fermented soybeans for all you vegan newbies)
-Ketchup (The reason this dish isn't raw- Ketchups like my all time favorite food- actually 2nd fav because tomato sauce is number one in my life!!!! But because I am so into ketchup I will figure out a raw ketchup recipe and get back to you soon...)
-Sprouts (any kind you like- I used alfalfa. or you can use lettuce- I mix lettuce in sometimes when I am not too lazy to spend hours washing it.)
-salt, pepper, /whatever other spices you put into things.
I didn't take measurements really it is based on your taste buds- you can do wrong....

You mix all the ingredients and get this weird looking concoction- I know it looks nasty to some people (my friend refused to try it) but it really tastes awesome- it is one of my new favorite meals.
I think if you add mung bean-sprouts and cook it- it might be a yum veggie burger for non rawists- I never tried but just thought of it now- if you attempt this let me know. Also you can add spices to make it suitable for any dish- wow I love tempeh!

Stay healthy

College Survival 101: Cereal

I know I have wrote my first three posts on breakfast but there is a reason for this...

the fact of the matter is that the most important food in a college students life is cereal.

A short history lesson: The invention of cereal was one of the all time greatest accomplishments of mankind (yea this is history). It is a staple food of every college student and possibly every unmarried person in the world. Wiki says cereal was invented by vegetarians in the 19th century- VEGETARIAN WIN! 

For breakfast today I had home-made cereal. I make my own cereal because I like deciding what ingredients to include and also it is cheaper than buying a box of cereal. And YUCK most generic cereals are full of preservatives and sugar- I try to steer away from that shiz. But also I can't drain my piggy bank with pre-made granola... why spend my drinking money when I can make a big bag of cereal for less than 10 ₪ ($2.75)? Plus it lasts me over a month. It is beyond awesome because can put everything my taste buds desire in it... no more picking between strawberry pieces and almonds!

For 5 ₪ ($1.37) I buy a big bag of raw oats from the health food store... then I add anything I want! Like now my cereal has (Oats, coconut, raisins, & almonds). Last month I put (dried strawberries, Goji berries cashews, raisins and coconut). Pretty much I get creative and you can too! So go forth and make some awesome cereal! Post in the comment section any combinations you have tried that you recommend.

(Don't worry I eat lunch and dinner too... I have some great lunch and dinner posts coming up... stay tuned)

Keepin it REL (I am trying out new tag lines- just hang with me I will figure it out)
