Still Alive!

If you were wondering if this vegan diet killed me, it didn’t. I have been living without an Internet connection for a few days, and that has almost killed me, though. It’s amazing how much we rely on a high speed connection for absolutely everything!

I am sitting in Starbucks (drinking a decaf soy latte, of course) and it has taken hours to catch up on e-mail, blogs, and online shopping.

Clay and I have been so busy lately, and I’ve realized how difficult this diet is in the middle of chaos. Peanut butter, almond butter, and sun butter have kept me going for the past couple of days. Here are a few vegan snacks you can take on the road with minimal effort:

- Luna Bar Minis

- Graham Crackers and Peanut Butter

- Carrot Sticks in a bag

- Raisins

- Veggie Chips

- Rice Cakes with Almond Butter

- Trail Mix (hold the M & M’s, sadly)

Blueberry Oatmeal

Day 13 – January 13, 2011

If you are looking for something loaded with nutrients, but kind of tastes like pie… here ya go. I’ve been eating this for a snack pretty often lately and it’s a satisfying sweet treat. All you need is Quaker blueberry oatmeal along with fresh or frozen blueberries, flax seed, and walnuts (I’ve also used the trail mix with nuts and cranberries in it). If you add a little soy milk, it’s considered a “complete food,” and it’ll be a little bit creamier.

Let me know if you try it!

Also, feel free to share any quick, easy, healthy snacks as a comment!
