In this video I’m sharing what I eat in a day as a healthy vegan! I love eating a plant based diet, so if you like easy vegan recipes for beginners, healthy vegan breakfasts, and vegan lunch ideas for work…this is the video for you. Hope it gives you some good meal ideas! Also sharing a Trader Joe’s haul and doing a taste test of the new Trader Joe’s Chipotle Sauce! And I learned how to make DIY flower bouquets so I thought we could make some flower arrangements in the vlog. Comment below and let me know what you think! Love, Nicole

I love dark chocolate but I recently tried a new one and this was just a little bit too bitter and a little bit too dry to snack on but I’ve been using it as chocolate shavings on banana toast and it’s a really good combination and it prevents the chocolate bar from going
Away so the bananas the almond butter the chocolate very delicious together and a good little hack today I’m going to be mostly around the house I’ve got some computer work to do and some cleaning and stuff that I want to get done but one thing that I’m
Excited to do with you is go pick up some plants for the house there’s a plant nursery nearby and we got a couple of plants when we first moved in about a year ago but I am very much craving spring and some fresh brightness I want
Colors I kind of want to pick up some flowers too because I’ve been watching these videos on Tik Tok about making flower bouquets and I am not good at making flower bouquet or at least I haven’t been in the past but I’ve seen these videos that kind of seem like
They’re doable and maybe I’d be able to do this one specific technique so I’m going to pick up some flowers and hopefully we can do it together and it’ll look nice we’ll see how it goes I’m going to go get started on lunch and then we can go pick up the Plants so we’re going to head out and the the first stop is Trader Joe’s because my friend Chloe’s been telling me about this and sauce dupe that they have and and sauce is a sauce that we have in the fridge pretty much every week either the Chipotle or the
Cilantro flavor we love both of them and it’s an almond butter based sauuce that we put on so many things grein bows salads tacos burritos toast you like as a dip for vegetables it’s really versatile and really really good but the Trader Joe’s one is a little bit less
Expensive and I’ve never tried that one before so I’m excited to give that a try and then also pick up some flowers because they have flowers that are a little bit unique and interesting they have a lot of different colors and shapes and sizes that I think will be
Fun for the bouquet and they’re much less expensive than at other places so that’s on my list as well as going to the plant store on the way Home Yeah Look at these colors I love this color combination together a little bit of yellow in this snake plant with the blue I just think is so nice this is just exactly what I was Wanting A This is definitely the best bouquet I’ve ever made I’m not saying it’s perfect but I love It all right so this is the dip I was telling you about from Trader Joe’s it has very similar ingredients to the bitchen sauce so I have high Expectations the consistency is similar I wonder if this is ever so slightly thicker yum Smoky salty slightly spicy garlicky dip that is creamy but it has a little bit of a kick it’s delicious but this one I think maybe has a little bit more of a kick and a little bit more of
That tamari flavor and it might be a little bit thicker but now I really wish I had the original bitchin sauce in the Chipotle flavor to do a comparison let me know in the comments below if you’ve tried them side by side and what you think the difference is I will say the
Trader Joe’s one is at least a full dollar cheaper if not $2 cheaper than my grocery store so that’s definitely something but this is really really good I would definitely go make yourself some oven baked french fries and dip this in it immediately or even sweet potato
Fries would be so good that’s pretty much what we’re doing for dinner I’m going to do roasted potatoes roasted cauliflower and then I’m going to do the crispy tofu from my cookbook I’ll show you the tofu is on page 156 it’s this really delicious oven baked very easy to
Make tofu that normally I serve on fetuccini Alfredo which is on page 165 of the book got the tofu with the fet Alfredo and then I serve it with some roasted broccoli and it’s one of our favorite meals we make it all the time but the tofu is great because it’s
Versatile so you kind of get two for one recipes here we use the Tofu for the fetuccini but tonight we’re also going to use it and just have that with roasted potatoes and a roasted veggie and then top it with this sauce and it should be really good so I’m going to go
Ahead and get started on that and that will be Dinner Okay that’s a little bit too dark all right putting the light on I normally do my skincare routine in here with just the little salt lamp and sometimes a candle and it’s nice cuz I’m doing my skincare routine brushing my teeth and the light is really nice and warm and
Cozy but it’s a little dark for the camera so um I am going to do my skincare routine and get ready for bed I’m trying really hard this week to stick to a bedtime that’s my goal for the week is stick to the Bedtime because
When I was a kid I had a bedtime time and having that time just made it a lot easier for me to organize myself and get everything I needed to get done done because I had to be in bed at a certain time and when you’re a grownup you can
Kind of go to bed whenever you want and for me I keep pushing that back later and later and later there’s a quote that my one of my favorite authors Gretchen Ruben says and it’s something that can get done at any time often gets done at
No time she was talking more about work rated tasks but I find that to be very true when it comes to bedtime I just keep pushing it back and finding more things I want to do or watch or read or clean basically anything except go to
Bed so I’m trying to stick to a bedtime so that I am in bed at that time and I do really feel like that helps me but I hope you guys enjoy spending some time with me today everything I mentioned I’ll try to put as many links in the
